Leo
Zulueta has been called the “father of tribal tattooing.”
The Hawaii native got his start over 20 years ago in California
and has since become a legend in the tattoo world, known for his
distinctive heavy black designs inspired by the tattoos of the Marquesas
Islands in Polynesia. A couple of years ago, he disappeared. Some
people even said he was dead. The truth is that after a couple of
years spent at various international tattoo conventions, Zulueta
is happily settled with partner Dianne Mansfield in Michigan. They
opened Spiral Tattoo in a sunny space on Packard in February.
In
addition to executing tattoos in his signature style, Zulueta designs
jewelry and clothing for a Japanese company. His jewelry is also
sold at Maxfields in Los Angeles.
