Tahiti Felix Lynch Master Tattooist and Entertainer: 1950s to 1982 | A Life, A Legacy | 4K

This film is built from original 8mm home movies — real, unpolished footage captured during the travels of the Regal Tahitians as they entertained U.S. troops through USO tours in the late 1950s and 1960s. These reels carry the warmth of stage lights overseas, the movement of mid-century travel, and the spirit of performance during a time when morale meant everything. Interwoven are intimate family moments — quiet scenes between tours, life unfolding away from the spotlight. The story then shifts to Oceanside, where The Arcade stood as both gathering place and tattoo parlor. Tahiti Maurice and Hiro Lynch worked there while Tahiti Felix continued operating Master Tattoo in downtown San Diego. These images also document the closing of The Arcade after tattooing was prohibited within Oceanside city limits — a restriction that has since been lifted. What remains on film is not just a business ending, but a cultural moment in tattoo history. From overseas stages to coastal storefronts, this is a portrait of movement, resilience, and legacy — preserved in grain, light, and memory.
