Polynesian Sigil

Today has been great.  I absolutely love my studio, the way I have it all set up for working on multiple projects, the energy Athena and I have created here, and how well we are doing.  This client was celebrating his wedding, and I made a “Ha” sigil for him.  I always enjoy working with a sigil.

Aloha.

This was fun.

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.

The client brought me the logo from his tribe.  He is Native American and has deep roots in his tribe. He wanted a simple combination of his tribal sigil with a Polynesian sigil.  The original tribal work showcases a phoenix being born from a lightning strike.  I really like the message there.  I drew a “Ha” sigil inside the flames of the phoenix.

I dig it, sigil in a triangle.

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

Another “Ha” sigil.  Always a pleasure to tattoo this.

It was a busy day, its always a busy day.  These two clients were a pleasure to work with and I look forward to the next time.  These sigils are my favorite tattoos today.

Polynesian Butterfly Sigil

I like this combination of two “Ha” sigils to form both the matriarch and an abstract butterfly.  Powerful sigil work is deeply satisfying.

I like this sigil.  It is powerful, and it finds usefulness with nearly anyone.

I will just let this sit here and do its job.

This is common for of the sigil “Ha” as it is compositionally seen often.  I dig it.

This is another abstraction of the sigil “Ha” used to express the path this young man is taking.  Sigil work is by far my favorite process.  I use sigils in nearly everything I make, especially my paintings.  I truly want to expand on my sigils through tattoo.  I see tattooing as the work of the shaman.  Regardless of what is being tattooed, I treat it as shaman work.  There is so much more we can do for our clients lives than simply tattoo them.  I want my clients to leave my studio feeling a deep sense of pride in themselves when they look at their piece, that they feel good about how they look so they can  extend that pride in the self to the rest of their daily life.

An abstraction of “Ha” as a compound statement.
