Trash Polka Rose

The style of trash polka, black and red in any image is a popular trend in tattooing.  The client wanted a rose in that look.

Polynesian Tribal

I am experimenting some here.  The client intends to return in a month or so and complete the rest of his upper arm.

Sigil Banger

I like the symbol Ha.  I use it in almost all of my Polynesian tattooing.  Ha is the breath of life; gods breath, and the 1st word spoken by man.  It’s complete meaning is “creative beginnings” and it has a place in almost every tribal tattoo.  This was fast, drawn-on, and simple.  A banger by its nature.

Add-on to Polynesian

Another client from the past came back for more.  These days most of who I work with are all past clients.  I would say that new clients are 25% of my business.  This guy loved my first tattoo and just keeps coming back to me.  It is always a good feeling when your clients just keep coming back.  We first did the big island in honor of his Iron Man run, and now we banded his leg with simple masculine Polynesian tribal.

Celtic Knot

Today was insane, and I love it.  This was my favorite of the day.  A Celtic knot is nothing special, but I like how this one turned out.  I do 20 or so of these a year just like most tattoo artists.  All of them similar compositions.
