WHAT!!!! You did your own tattoo?

There is a tattoo convention in Santa Rosa at the Flamingo Hotel/Convention Center/Resort on the last weekend of February. I am going with a couple of friends...anyone interested in joining? I don't have much info now, but as soon as available, I will post it.

OK>>>>back to that tattoo of yours...it is awesome so far. Looking forward to seeing the finished product. :)

wicked, can't wait to see it finished. Nice shading.

cool,cool,cool. Progress pics in about 4 weeks, i guess. Right?
Man, it is glowing.
I do a little tattooing in a studio ,too. That is sure good work.
mahalo, tok-tok

Wait a minute, you are doing your own tattoo? On yourself?

S

hehehe, no im not. i dont know how that came up actually? its on a client. im doing a bunch of new tiki tattoos that i have designed, theyre just very randomly picked for freinds that i know enjoy tiki and trying to take different aproaches to the sketches, so they can be more like paintings, and less like stamps, although i do have a lot of stamps! hehehe, thanks for the input, i deeply respect the work that comes off of this site! tik/beati art IS where its at. FINK ABOUT IT.

Thanks for clearing that up...can't imagine someone tattooing them self. Your art is just beautiful. :)

actually myself and all of my colleagues have tattooed ourselves first! you gotta learn somehow. and it hurts a bit more for sure!!

Nice JOb Sleestack!! Those flowers look prettyfuckin cool!! Nice tiki's too!!! Finish that up andshow us more.

thanks buddy

The color and shading are well done. The composition is perfect- not too crowded and nicely highlights the tikis!

S

thanks, thats kind of what im trying to do, make it readable from across the street! im glad you like it. Nick is actually doing a tiki tattoo story on me next year in tiki mag, so i should have plenty of stuff to share(tattoos, paintings, carvings, etc!!!) thanks again guys

H

Is your tattoo finished?

H

That is looking SUPERB, my friend---excellent work!

S

the tattoo wont be finished for another week or so, it needs to heal up first, then we go back in!!

Nice work. Makes me itch.

Nice trailer, too!! :)

thanks man! we just took her out for the first time!!

S

so its finally done!!!

OMG...that is just absolutely beautiful. The colors are phenomenal and so is the shadowing. Gotta be the best tiki tattoo I have ever seen. The Tattoo convention in Santa Rosa is called Tattoos and Blues. I booked a suite for me and some friends and hope to find some great artists that do work like what you have. :)


FATIMA BLUSH: Oh, how reckless of me. I made you all wet.
JAMES BOND: Yes, but my martini is still dry.

That's a real work of art... Great colors too.

S

thanks sam! i really appreciate it!

Nice work. Love the hibiscus too.

Nice use of colours.

The colorwork in the background really pulled the whole thing together nicely. I fink I'm gonna need some work done very soon.
Finking sweet!

S
