When my husband and I met in high school, and were walking along, a hummingbird literally just flew around us, I out out my left hand, and it landed on my hand...And it let me pet it a few times before finally flying away...I knew hummingbirds meant love, so I just knew he was the one for me..14 years later, we are still married! And seeing this version of a hummingbird tatoo, really left me in awe! It's gorgeous!! Thanks for this!! :) karen I accidentally stumbled on your blog when I googled “humingbird tatoo”…To me, this bird has a very special meaning!!

It's such a small world, isn't it? I've sent quite a few friends and readers to Benjamin over the past three years. I'm getting ready to go in for my next tattoo some time soon. Who knows? Maybe our paths while cross while I'm there. All the best for 2012, and thanks for stopping by and commenting! Hi Amanda,

Here's the best part: I never clicked through to your blog beyond the google image search...but I brought the Si Scott photo to my fave tattoo artist when I came back to Taiwan (I live in NYC) and he said, "Oh, I've done that tattoo before in color" (completely nonchalantly). I got home and searched for the image again, and this time I clicked through to your blog from the image.....and realized your tattoo was done by the same tattoo artis--Benjamin Lee! How weird/meant to be!! Anyway, just wanted to share. :) Benjamin has done 3 of my tattoos (including my first) and I always wait until I visit Taipei to get my tattoos done, even though I live in New York and visit TW only every two years or so! Take care. :) Hi Carrie –

I've had several pieces done... from Hong Kong, Denver, Honolulu... now I want my next one from Taiwan and have been looking for a reputable artist. I had it narrowed down to a couple guys in Kaohsiung but after coming across your blog/post, and since I live in Taipei, Mason/Benjamin seems to be a better fit. Do you know if they are in the same location? Please email me if you have a moment kbk1008@gmail.com thanks! Beautiful work.

You'll also notice that it has a lot of fine detail, which popped the price up. Hi Sarah,

I followed the link you provided to check out the needle no 8 tattoo studio website and it said that they couldn't quote prices or accept appointments via email or phone. Because I'm not physically in Taipei yet, I can't just pop in the store, which makes it a little complicated for me. I just wanted to know a rough idea of how much I'll be spending if I decide to get my tattoo done with them. Can you tell me how much you had to pay in total to get your tattoo done and how long it took? Thanks. Hey Carrie,
