Sun bangers

This was just fun.  Two small walk-in banger tattoos, and they sat and waited as I finished my booked tattoos for the day.  Awesome couple, awesome conversation and I really hope they come back to the shop for more work.  These two are my favorite tattoos of the day.

Add-on Bird of Paradise

My client loved her plumeria flowers I tattooed and came back for an addition.  She wants to come in next month and add more flowers to her arm.  Awesome.

Polynesian Sigil

The sigil “Ha” is powerful when it is used properly.

Polynesian Tattoo Flash

I have finally completed my Polynesian flash paintings for the studio.  All of these watercolors have been tattooed.  I drew this flash up almost a year ago, and just kept painting it as I tattooed it.  I really had a good time going through all of these.  I am on to a new flash project at the moment, and I will post that as soon as I have tattooed it all.

Hawaiian Scene Flash Paintings

I finished a couple of flash paintings.  Most of these I have already tattooed, and the ones left are already spoken for.  These days are a cry different, as I am painting flash, people come into the studio and see what I am working on and ask for the tattoo from the flash painting.

Traditional Polynesian

These Polynesian designs go back several generations for my client.  His uncle, grandfather, father and several other members of his family wore this tattoo design.
It was a please to work on this with him.
