The artist is Hoffa, the inspiration and homage is to Eli Hedley - responsible for carving the amazing Moai outside the Aku Aku in Las Vegas as well as the interior. And of course, the Original Beachcomber. I know this is my own, but still, one of the most amazing tatt's I've ever seen!!!

Just look at those spear tips, looks perfect. Subject matter awesome, placement great and the fade in and out perfect blend. Colors nice and bright too.

This took almost 11 hours. 2 sessions and just before Hukilau 2006. I'm mighty proud of it. I have at least one person daily that comes up to me and comments on it - and also questions if it's real!

T tiki_kiliki Member Birmingham, AL Joined: Apr 01, 2002 Posts: 1046	T tiki_kiliki Posted posted on Thu, Jan 4, 2007 5:31 AM I love it too!! I was in Home Depot just after I got it and I noticed a couple had stopped after check out and was staring at me and sort of waiting for something. I finished checking out myself and began to leave when they stopped me - they were on the phone talking to someone telling them about this tattoo - and they wanted to know if it was real. After informing them of how many hours of pain I went through I assured them it was real. As I was leaving I could hear them talking to this unknown person on the phone saying "Yes, it's real!!" See Hoffa, you're a genius! hee hee
