Aloha Friday

Dinner and drinks in Kapalua for us.

Aloha.

Circuit Gears

This was simple and fun.  A silhouette of gears and circuits.  The client had a drawing that he was very set on me tattooing.  I don't normally do something like this, but I had a spot in the day so I tried it.  The drawing was his original artwork so I felt comfortable tattooing it.

My Family

A chill hike with the family.

Love them.

Plumeria

A simple Plumeria tattoo, my favorite of the day.

Canadian Goose

This was a challenge.  I have never tattooed a goose before.  I treated it as I would a crane and used the same process.  It was surprisingly rewarding.

Simple Wave

I feel that if you can not do a good job at the simply tiny tattoos, you shouldn't tattoo larger more complicated ones.  I like this simple line for a wave tattoo.  It is a very popular banger tattoo on Maui, and I am sure every artist on island has done this exact tattoo 100 times.  It should be done with perfection.

Mahalo.

Aloha Sunday

Paddle!

Surfboard and Palm Tree

A surfboard leaning on a palm tree.  A fun banger and a walk-in at that.  I surf a lot these days, and I love it more than making art.  If I could, I would just surf all day every day.

Mahalo.

Polynesian Gecko

I normally don't use color in my Polynesian tattoos.  The client wanted a light green in the geckos, so I gave it a try.  I am not sure if I like color in Polynesian tattoo, but this looks nice.  Her idea to have its tongue become the tiny flowers oh her arm was also a bit out of my normal.  But it was fun.

Mahalo.
