Winnie the Pooh

I rarely do cartoon tattoos.
This was very far out of my normal, but really fun to work with these clients.

Celtic Knott Memorial

I do a lot of memorial tattoos.  Loss and the memories of those we love that have passed can be lightened some with a good experience.

Polynesian Tribal

Last year I made a smaller tattoo for this client.  He loved it and has committed to a large chest to back tattoo that will take his entire right side.  It will be completed on his next visit.  My style is heavily influenced by the compositions of my abstract oil paintings.  I really like the direction of this work and I am excited to complete it.

This is the beginning of a large full sleeve project.  The  client owns some property here on island and is here visiting and checking up on her property often.  I look forward to the next session.

Lotus Flower for an Old Friend

My friend Ann graduated from her masters in metalworking so she took a vacation to big island and then a few days here on Maui with us.  We took a few days off and enjoyed Maui beaches and had fun.  I made this for her, and I love this tattoo.  I have known Ann for over 20 years, really all my friends I have are from 20 or more years ago.  We never lose contact from one another, and I cherish that.  

Congratulations Ann, I can't wait to see what you create after a year of teaching.
