Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Shotsie Gorman. I'm here as a tattoo artist, a professional tattoo artist for Expert Village. Well I can tell you that Luke of course is my brother-in-law, which is why I can make mistakes on him and not worry about it. And the design itself comes from Luke's thinking about it. He was inspired by an image he seen, and what was the title of the book? I'm sorry. "Silent Spring", which is a very, it's Seminole book. It spoke to Americans very early on about the pentral of the earth crisis that we're facing now. And in there was a graphic illustration fo a kind of a zen scene, in effect, of a small, orange area of tree. And Luke's work has taken him in that direction. He's headed out to India very shortly to do a research project on chloride, the presence of chloride in the water system in eastern India is it? Mhmm. So this is a commitment on alot of levels. It's a commitment that Luke has made to use his education, his experience and his skills to try to contribute something to changing the circumstances that are facing us. And the dangers that are facing us and the planet. I'm sure Luke could be making alot of cash if he were doing things in other directions. Going into more commercial kinds of concerns. So a tattoo is a great deal of symbolism, I think. For his commitment to the Earth, and his commitment to his philosophical idea of giving something back. By committing his time and his knowledge, and his personal skills and experience to try and help save the planet. "
