Pain        *          Passion       *     Pleasure



I have already wasted my whole life.… I have always loved you. I would rather be a ghost drifting by your side, as a condemned soul, than enter heaven without you. Yet, because of your love, I will never be a lonely spirit.     ~ Li Mu Bai

About Tatu

I am Tatu;  a "rope artist" with a love all erotic rope arts, with a primary focus on a style rope inspired by the Japanese as well as some aspects of eastern culture. I am a student, constantly thirsty to expand my knowledge, understanding and experience. To some I am Master Tatu, to others just Tatu, a few close friends, Jimi. A few even call me sensei or teacher, because they feel that somehow they have lgrown in someway walking along side of me. Frankly I feel I am the one who is forever learning, and I hope I never lose that sense of experience.

My educational life started with BA in Social Studies, a combination degree in history, psychology and sociology.  It was there in the mid 70's that I started my journey of learning  with Asian history and culture.. I went on to do 88 hours of graduate work earning Masters Degree focused on theology and spirituality.

I am a single male and do not seek a monogamous relationship... I seek mature friends and play partners; and hopefully with a few some special loving moments. From time to time I enjoy mentoring or watching over a few young ones.

Hobbies & Interests:    Japanese inspired erotic Rope Art, Rope suspensions, OTK, Canes, floggers, knife play, paddles, wax play.... I love being creative with erotic play.  My Harley and My Glock.

Favorite Music / Groups:   The Yoshida Brothers, Fushu Daiko, Devil Doll - "Queen of Pain"

Favorite Quote:   "The problem with caring for wounded birds, is that they they get better and fly away without so much as a thank you".... my therapist.

My sign is that of the snake.  The snake in orientalism is not like the slithery, deceptive image of the west (compliments of the garden of eden mythology).  In eastern philosophy, the snake is the diplomat and  they say is a natural at the art of sensual seduction. Sometimes gregarious, other times introverted. We tend to hang back and analyze, before involving to any degree. It is said of snakes can be irresistible, loving partners.


Geisha Spirit *   I appreciate what I call "geisha spirit" in a lady. What is that? My friend "shin" articulates:

*A geisha is one on the inside..long before her training in the art of geisha ever begins.

*It is in her heart and soul....even if she does not fully know this at present.

*It is in the natural grace in her movements, her soft spoken manner.

*It is even in the tilt of her head.

*But most importantly....it is in her eyes. ... that quick seductive glance, then lowering of her eyes.

*Everything about a geisha..inside and out..is about seduction and pleasing.

*Geisha.....watch and learn..their partner(s).

*She anticipates every need.

*Giving and preparing everything even before you know you want it.

*Sensual seduction in it's purest form.

The Fully Empowered. It takes a geisha spirit to be fully self empowered and self sufficient. She is one who do not "need" me, but passionately wants to share my space.

I do not seek to enslave a woman.  When I mentor a female submissive, I do so in a way to inspire them  to own and walk in their own personal power, so that they cannot be abused by domineering jerks and men or women with control issues.   

My greatest honor is when a lifestyle submissive or slave who is truly in possession of her own submission and personal power to yield to me control, choosing with a healthy mind to walk in her submission or slave space before me and with full trust, allow me to lovingly control, lead and guide her.

"Enslavement is not something a Dominant does to a submissive, it is something a submissive internally activates within her own soul"   ..Tatu

As in the art of ballroom dancing; the male proposes the step, only the self empowered female can truly choose whether or not to accept the proposal and follow.

Tatu is a High Status Dominant / Sensual-Sadist...

At times I care about how or if it makes you feel good.. because I like having a soul connection and care about the person and I do enjoy "inflicting pleasure"..... but mostly I just want to touch your mind, heart and spirit and then see you squirm and quake as a result of the painful pleasure you desire or need......

Do NOT mistake my quiet and observant ways as a sign of weakness or lack of Dominance.  I am simply studying my prey and determining how best I wish to "inflict pleasure" upon you.

Do NOT mistake the fact that I feel or have emotions as a sign of weakness, it only means I care and have a passion for life and the people who matter.

If you want an emotionless Dominant who does not feel and only cares about his own sadistic needs, a "bad boy" using and abusing you like a piece of meat, then be assured I am NOT him.

I leave behind the manipulative, the liars, the users, the uncaring, the emotionless. They are not allowed to share my space.

Don't even try to organize me around you.... we won't be friends.



A true self empowered slave mind is a beautiful thing.... soft, quiet, sensual and an elegant soul are most important to me. A mind for rich protocol in all is a must. If you are together enough and skilled to know how to carry off rich protocol in public around vanillas, without non-consensually involving them, then you definitely have my attention and have a fast track to know what I like.

No brats, no drama queens. No mindless doormats. No energy vampires. I will go quietly in the other direction.

I am attracted to women who have the discipline to take care of themselves emotionally and physically. If you don't care enough about you to live healthy, I won't care either. I won't be a co-dependent fixer for your problems. It takes a healthy woman in mind, spirit and body to be bound and suspended in my ropes.

If you are one of those unique women who can wear your soul on the outside of your skin, with tattoos and piercings... in a way that accents your beauty and femininity, you  will fascinate me.

If you feel at home in jeans and a crop top as well as a cocktail dress or wicked fetish, or lounging in kimono or nothing at all... you are walking close to my path.

No one can serve two masters. If you are addicted to nicotine, you have a master already, the most you will ever have is a "dominant", who will have to organize himself around your smoke breaks, but you will never have a Master until you put down that ugly, self destructive habit.

"Kissing a woman who smokes is like licking an ashtray".  ....Tatu (quote by me during my freshman year in college, at my first fraternity party.. what was her name?)

I like being alone in my space and occasionally invite someone in to share it with me for a while.


Pet Peeves:  

1) People who constantly talk about themselves and the size of their...  uh.. whips...  ha!

2) Submissive "role-players", using acts of submission to manipulate and even lie to get what they want. If the pleasure in serving is not a reward in itself, you are not a submissive, you are a deceitful person.

3) A beautiful submissive woman who smokes. It just doesn't get any worse in my mind. It's just ugly and disgusting.



5 Needs I Have:

1) Unconditional acceptance.  If you think you are going to try and change me....  be gone. I will never be changed or organized by anyone. Inspire me? yes, change me, no.  Change has to happen in my heart when I am ready to grow.

2) A True Friend at my side.  Casual female friends are wonderful, but deep down I desire a true confidante; someone with whom I can share my deepest longings and she in turn can feel that same trust.

3) A Need for Respect.  I am a caring, unselfish man.  Because of that, I have been "used" and even "manipulated" more than I care to remember. In the end, I desire simple appreciation and respect from my intimate partners and I will in return give the same.

4) A Need for Intimacy.  I don't need great sex. Sex I can get anywhere, anytime I want. I desire to be with a "geisha spirit" who allows herself to be transparent, open and honest with her physical needs and wants to explore and "play".  

5) Love. Love for me is not an emotion. It is a commitment to endure, thus laying the foundation for many emotional celebrations.  Being "In Love" is when you feel you can't do life without someone. At this stage of life, I don't need anyone....but, I do want  to share my life and love and make beautiful memories.

* "Geisha Spirit" - portions of this text were inspired by my  dear sweet friend, "shin".

The House of Tatu

My lifestyle household is somewhat unique in that my protocols are Japanese or "Eastern School".  There are a few who I have had the privilege of intersecting paths with over the years, who have played a significant role in my personal journey.  Regardless of time or circumstance they are and always will be considered loved and a part of my honored household.  

*Note: The House of Tatu is made up of  cherished friends. It is not a harem or poly sexual household, but simply a supportive, caring and loving family of friends who have come to hold a special place in the heart of Nawashi Tatu.



He is the founder of Shibari South Florida and The Palm Beach Munch
