Almost overnight, Honolulu has
gained • the dubious title of the
world's tattoo center. Conserva-
tive estimates place the annual
“take", at more than $500,000. with
an average of nearly $60,000 per
establishment.
The scene at voung Miller’s shop
was typical. The stream of cus-
tomers is never-ending during
daylight hours. The shops are al-
ways tilled with waiting custom-
ers.-----------------------------------------------— —.
One estimate fixed the daily
number of tattoo' victims Here at
300 to 500, who pay an average of
$3. For small simple, designs the
price may be as low as 50 cents.
But it costs $20* to $25 to have a
big, elaborate leg or chest job.
65 P.C. in the Navy
Most of ' the patrons are serv-
icemen and migratory workers.
.Whose fancy for “skin engraving'
ranges from such sentimental de-
signs as the one Miller "carved”
into the arm of the young sailor
to shapely women— clothed only
enough do pass the Navy's ban
on "nudes."
A recent survey showed that 65
per cent of the customers were
non-commissioned Navy person-
nel, 25 per cent enlisted men in
the Army, and the rest war work-
ers.
About 80 per cent are in their
late teens or early 20s. Racially,
they are about 90 per cent Cau-
casian, five per cent Flliplna,
three per ceitt Oriental and two
per cent Negro.
Their reasons for submitting to
the tattoo needle vary. Among
Navy personnel, the evidence of a
tatoo seems to convey that the
wearer is “salty" or a seagoing
veteran. Many soldiers prefer sim-
ple designs such as the letters
“USN" through the center of an
anchor. This is supposed to rep-
