Welcome Ron. I've admired the tattoo for a while. About 15 years ago I served as a regular 'fire chief' for a Cherokee Sweat Lodge Chief. I studied for about 5 years with a Hawaiian Kahuna before this and was asked to 'work the fire' over 15 times in 3 years. I felt very honored to do this and I was the only thing he ever told me was "Good fire." I've missed it over the years but it was time to pass the knowledge and work on to someone else some time ago.

Thanks for the chance to reflect on this and welcome to the forum.
