In case any of you guys are on Instagram, Jimmy Ho now has an account on there where he posts a mixture of old tattoos/flash and shop life photos. It's probably the best way to keep informed of his past and present. You can find it here www.instagram.com/jimmyhotattoo I'm not in any way affiliated with his shop. Just a fellow tattooers in Hong Kong who appreciates his legacy and hopes to help preserve it.

Hi everyone. Been a lurker on here for some time but I thought I should do the polite and actually make my presence known. My name is Nic and I live in Hong Kong. Been tattooing for about 5 years. Started late... didn't get tattooed until I was 30, and made my first tattoo at the age of 32. Hong Kong is rather small, and access to tattoo knowledge is limited, so I try to whenever I can to visit overseas to get tattooed by tattooers I admire and learn through observation/asking questions. I also try to attend conventions within the Asian region, since it's more financially feasible, and it's allowed me to make friends with fine folks from all over the world. I take pride in my city and enjoy showing people around, so if any of you ever happens to pass through Hong Kong, do give me a shout! Hope this introduction is OK. Nice to meet y'all! best regards, Nic

Thank you for this story. I visit Jimmy every couple of weeks and I know that he's thankful for visitors since the world of tattooing is no longer what it was for him in his heyday. By the way, he now has an Instragram account, which is a mix of his old works/flash/shop life, and the occasional recent tattoo.
