Pelagic sharks are just cool.  The white tip shark reef shark is one of my favorites simply because I see them all the time.  The white tip pelagic shark is really pretty cool too.  This was a fun tattoo to do.

My client today saw me tattoo a shark yesterday and wanted one for himself.
Pretty fun, drawn on with a sharpie.

Shark Fishhook

The client had a very specific request for this tattoo.  He wanted it to look exactly like the shape of his fishhook necklace.  He also wants to use the design for his island jerky business.  He makes fish, pork, and beef jerky here on island and it’s absolutely freaking delicious.  We traded for the rights to the design, now I am swimming in jerky!  He keeps dropping off more too.  I don’t think I can eat this much jerky and keep my cholesterol down.

Polynesian Tribal Shark

I made this tribal shark and the manta ray to represent his brothers.  Both of them wanted a part of each other’s tattoo in their own.  I made each of them with a silhouette of the other.  It was a good day today.  I have been so busy I have not had a moment to just sit back and reflect on what I am really up to.  The last few months have been fantastic, and I see that my planning for tomorrow has paid off.

This was a shark that I drew up sometime ago.  I made some changes for what the client was looking to express.

Polynesian Shark

A classic look to this tribal shark.  I dig American Traditional tattooing, and I made this tattoo with a bit of that in mind.  I want to blend American Traditional into Polynesian tribal work so the two look as if they came right out of the 60’s.

Traditional Shark

Fun black and whip-shaded American Traditional shark tattoo.

Polynesian Sharks

He wanted a couple of tiger sharks done in Polynesian tribal to represent his family.  It was a great piece to work on.  My way of drawing tribal tattoos is a blend of what history has to offer, the common forms of the past, and my view on composition.  I love working on Polynesian, it is always rewarding.  I will see this client again in the next few months and add to this work.
