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.

New Flash

I painted some more flash.

Hiking the West Maui Coast

Athena and I go for a lot of hikes with the dogs.  

Athena and I like to take the dogs through a hike on the northern portion of west Maui.  We leave about an hour before sunset, and make the return just as the sun is setting.  It is beautiful there, but its our secret so I'll just show you a few pictures.  At the end of the hike there are some huge rocks where we sit and watch the sun go down.

Quick Flash Paintings

Anchor Tattoo

Nothing like a bit of American Traditional tattooing.

Mega Man

I played the Nintendo game “Mega Man” often when I was a child.  It is particularly awesome that I got to do this tattoo.

End of the Year Hibiscus

I seem to be into tattooing feet lately.  This week alone I have done 13 foot tattoos. It is December 31st and for my last tattoo of the year I made a hibiscus plumeria combo.  It was drawn on with a sharpie, which is really fun for a lot of reasons.  It is really fast to draw on and tattoo, and it is accurate to the body.  A stencil can be accurate also, but today I wanted to play with a sharpie.

2014 was pretty good to me and Athena.  Both of our business started to really take off, we built a good reputation, and we had an amazing time on Maui.  Moving here was a risk and it is finally starting to pay off.

Mahalo for everything 2014
