Rose

The client asked me to tattoo an American traditional rose tattoo in heavy black.

Rose

My client wanted a silhouette of a rose on her arm.  I have not tattooed on of these in a long time, it was fun making it simple black.

Lavender & Rose

These were fun to tattoo.

This was fun.

Rose Triangle

A rose with a triangle behind it.  Apparently the triangle is currently a trend in tattooing.

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 Turtle and a Rose

I like working on American Traditional tattoos, and I like tribal turtles.
Being able to do both at the same time was exactly what I want to do.

Rose Dagger

American Traditional tattooing is where my soul rides. 

Right on.

Two Rose Tattoos

I made a couple of American Traditional rose tattoos today.  Both clients were regulars and it is always nice when they come in for a tattoo.  Today was a fairly slow day, which was perfect for me.  I have started the compositional studies for a new series of paintings here on Maui.  I have a general idea of the way I want to start these paintings, albeit I will let the paint decide the finish.

Traditional Rose

I painted an American Traditional rose a few days ago, and the client loved the work so we tattooed it.

Aloha.
