Meet Xolani Itana, a spotless male giraffe now residing in Hawaii, just outside Honolulu. He's been tattooing since he was quite young and still living in Africa. But at 20, he set out and traveled, gaining new experience, new techniques. Eventually, he settled in New Zealand, where he opened a shop that he ran with a good friend of his. It was here that he took a young stallion under his wing. None other than Jean-Leon Baptiste (http://www.furaffinity.net/view/13972028/), now of Karmic Kreations in Montreal.

After years of work in the tattoo and piercing trade, "X", as many in the industry called him, decided to settle in for a comfortable "retirement", and so moved to Hawaii, where he bought a small plot of land just outside Honolulu and built a small shop with an apartment above it. Naming it "Trib'l", he's settled in to enjoy the easy life of only taking clients when he feels like it. But who doesn't want a tat from the well-known "X"?
