Polynesian Tribal

This was really fun.  The client was here for a Polynesian turtle last year and has returned for some more tribal work.  He brought me an image that inspired him.
I took it and drew a new version of his idea.

Haida Orca

This client has been back to the shop year after year.  He is in his 70’s and has truly dedicated his current life towards rescuing animals in need.  He works with an organization called ifaw back home helping rescue sea life.  He has been tattooed here by Trevor and myself a few times.  His knowledge and research on Haida artwork is amazing.  It was truly a pleasure to work with him.

Lotus Flower

Fun little walk-in today.  Drawn on with a sharpie.

Polynesian Sigil

These two tattoos are for their marriage.  The sigil “Ha” has an infinite amount of permutations, however I have remained in the safe zone visually for my clients.  I look forward to a further abstraction of this sigil.

This tattoo is my favorite of the day.  Love this tattoo, it was really fun.

Polynesian Add-on

One of my regular clients is back, he comes back to the shop every year.  We added some, and refined some of the existing work.  This was really fun, and I am really looking forward to our next session where we will complete this entire piece.

Doggy Paw Memorial

My friend Colleen’s buddy Kore passed away recently.  He was the sweetest puppy. I loved that dog.  In honor of Kore we made this tattoo.
