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.
Second session on this leg piece. The first session was a cover-up of a smaller piece and the addition to the calf. The client will be back next year to complete the leg and go above the knee.
The client came back for the third year in a row. This year we worked on an addition to the turtle we did last year, the Hawaiian islands in Polynesian.
My client comes to the island often, and I will see him again soon for a second session on his arm. This was a fun tattoo. The tiki is abstracted like a mask.
