Hey! Check it out! My tat is in the newest issue of Tattoo Energy (#59). My left arm inside (bicep). I wanted the artist (brhltattoos.com) to do his version of my logo. Left page, bottom center (duh). Cool article, too! |

my ankle and my hubbys calf done by Jaksin down at the Kreepytiki. We brought masks down my hubby had carved and he did the sketches straight from it. Mine has a suffering bastard influence for sure. He doesn't know it yet but we are coming down in the next month or two to finish the job- my ankle is going to be a full cuff of flamey tiki goodness and Justin has another mask he carved for the other calf. COuld not be happier with the tattoos or having my hubbys art on me forever! [ Edited by: Tiki-Troll 2009-10-29 17:30 ] |

Christmas came early for me this year, spent 11hrs at the tattoo shop last night. 3hrs for hand-drawing, and the rest under the gun... I should have eaten lunch. I've always wanted a Polynesian tribal tattoo, but I wanted to honor my Filipino heritage even though I think the Tahitian and Maori styles rock. Most of the pre-contact tattoos were mainly just geometrically repeating patterns, but a lot of the post-contact and modern Polynesian tattoos are simply amazing. |

This is my only tatoo right now. It's on my right calf. I keep making the argument that I need another tat on my left leg so I feel balanced and don't lean when I stand up, but my partner isn't buying it. LOL |

This was the first tattoo I got. It's not detailed or anything, but I think most people here should recognize it. |

Question for everyone: I've always wondered about the "tribal" tattoos... Are they in bad taste? I mean, I really like some of the designs and have seen some really cool work on here, but I've always wondered if it was bad form to get such a traditional tattoo if I'm just an Irish guy from the States. The designs have meaning and I get the weird feeling that if I got something like that and then visited, say the Polynesian Islands, would the natives have a right to be upset? Just curious. |

Hi Kele, There are many Tiki tattoo threads here on TC. This seems to be the main one. Maybe this thread might give you some cool ideas. I'm giving this thread a bump just for that (and maybe you could ask the moderator to delete your original one-off thread ??) Here's my idea. Get "The Book of Tiki" tattooed on your breast. That would really be unique and what could be a better homage to the Tiki Revival? Yeah I know there's a lot of detail there but maybe your tattoo artist could come up with a more simple take on it... Also that could result in a really cool "And here's Sven Kirsten signing the Book of Tiki" photo op. :) [ Edited by: JOHN-O 2011-09-18 10:42 ] |

So...here is my tiki tattoo. I got the hula girl (her name is Kai Kala) in Hilo in October of 2009. The artist was Kevin Bays at Rainbow Falls Tattoo. Michael Thought I'd add an update since I went to Pu'uhonua o Honaunau last week. Here I am with my inspiration. Aloha, Chop'em, drop'em and cruise'em. It ain't cool if they don't drool!
