New Tiki Ink

Here's my latest travel souvenir. We just spent a week in the Lake Tahoe area and I got this done at Lucky 7 Tattoo in King's Beach by the owner, Cory. He jacked up the moai a little but overall I'm very happy. It's about 3x3 on the back of my shoulder.

this was done in 2001. the artist asked "what does a tiki look like?".

Whoa! How did you end up with a good picture then? I sketched out what I wanted (and I'm not much of an artist) and I was ready to direct them to Wikipedia for that moai, you know the one. One of them said "hey where's that tiki book?" but they never did find it, too bad it probably would have looked better traced off a good line drawing. But they found a picture on the web of that moai and off we went.

Nice ink Matty, thanks for sharing!

these are both on my wife's calves . A friend did them , he didn't know what a tiki looked like . He used The Book Of Tiki for reference . He works at SilverCity Tattoos in Washington state, his name is BO McConaghie you can go to silvercitytattoo.com and see his stuff.
