We know that everybody uses plates, but the same old plates aren’t for everybody, so once again, enter PHAG. In 2009, we introduced our customers to the first of its kind, an inked dish collection featuring the exclusive irezumi artwork of famed Sunset Strip tattoo artist, Paul Timman. Sure, he’s inked art for Drew Barrymore, Tommy Lee, Ben Affleck, Mark Wahlberg, and Angelina Jolie, to name a few, and now he’s inked dishes, just for you!

Today we celebrate the arrival of Cherry Blossom season, and more importantly, the cloud of pink it presents for all to enjoy! If you haven’t heard, you can bring the beauty of those blossoms from the outdoors- right to your table, with the Cherry Ink collection of dishware, from Paul Timman’s collection, available at PHAG’s on-line store. The Cherry Ink collection uses the sumi style of Japanese Tattooing, a delicate painterly style where soft edges replace black outlines. Each piece of porcelain in the collection is tattooed using an in-glaze process that is both microwave and dishwasher safe.

In all, you can now choose from four collections of tattooed dinnerware, including the latest addition to the line, Tattoo Lotus. Serving pieces are also available in both the Irezumi and Cherry Blossom Designs. Come on, isn’t it time you proudly presented your cherry for all to enjoy? That’s the latest dish.
