I'm new to the site and was wondering if anyone had any good pictures (real or sketch) of any of the tiki gods that could be used for a tattoo. Please let me know at [email protected]. Thanks.

welcome to Tiki Central ~ you could use the search feature, and come up with lots of inked skin photos..or you could ask Unga Bunga if his work is copyrighted..

:D

The question is really what tiki to get tattoed first! My advice, is find one that fits your personality or a feeling that you want to evoke when you or others see it, but it should always be for you. If you want, I can help you, I have a VERY large file of various tiki images and I could send you some to try and help.

i hope you don't mind me posting this, kon-hemsby, but it sprung to mind instantenouesly.

If the tattoo artist is good he/she can design a unique one for you. I walked into the tattoo place with a couple of pics and said "I want something like this..." The guy drew one up based on what I showed him and I ended up with a tattoo that's unique and I'm the only person who has one...unless he copied it for someone else.

or maybe

If your into more traditional Tiki's, I have one very similar to the one below around my ankle with the Tiki facing the front. It was done by Trica Allen in Hawaii and Tavita in Tahiti.

The ones below, designed by Frenchman Lovisa Gilles who lives and operates on Moorea would make good arm or ankle tattoos.

Drawing a tiki is pretty easy as Tikis are primative in form by nature. If you have a half way decent drawing ability you could just look around at what you like and draw one yourself, or have a tatoo artist build on your initial idea to get what you like. I drew this and had it done in Pattaya, Thailand just below my navel. It is about 2 inches tall.

Unga! that would be a brilliant Tattoo!

or maybe

Hi Proby95. I could carve you a tiki tattoo and do it for free. I do'em all the time...Well I do'em in wood but same deal, same tools. No? Well check out our local artists on the "Creating Tiki" forumThere is some Dynamite art work over there. All of FLOUNDERart's work would make nice tattoos (hear that flounder, you should make temp tattoos of your work..) Please ask for permission from our artists before giving pictures to a tattoo artist though I'm sure they won[t mind.Come on in, sit down and stay awhile.
