Freehand Polynesian Mask

Freehand polynesian design

Design with elements from different islands of the pacific ocean, partly tapped.

step by step

That's how you built up a sleeve: visit me regularly, get a bit done, having a good time and continue doing that.
Unavoidable you will end up with some nice ink and good memories.
Just want to send out a big THANK YOU again to all of you who come and visit me from all over, for your patience, til I finally aswer your mails, for supporting me and giving me a good time, when I travel myself.
Love you all out there :)

Polynesian Tattoo

This tattoo contains mainly elements from Samoa, but also other Islands and some little nordic hints, since I´m not from Polynesia.
Christina took these amazing shots during the Samhain Session, don´t forget to check out her blog, there´s much more to see:http://h2fotografie.blogspot.dk

Warrior tattoo

Black is beautiful

.......still work in progress, but I have to show it!!!!!!!!!! It´s a complete freehand design, we work with machine now, but parts of it are tapped to give it the genuine feeling at least.........
Thanx for coming so regularly and for many nice sessions :)

Get hammered.......

Very enjoyable project: Lines by gun, filling tapped and Thaistick

Pacific weekend at Kunsten På Kroppen

Tock, Tock........The designs shown are made in the traditional pacific tapping technique and are based on designs from different pacific islands, mainly the Marquesas.
Altough I am a white guy and our ancestors are responsible for the downfall of the pacific traditions, my respect for these cultures is great.
I see my work as a little compensative gift, help to keep a craft alive for later generations, help remembering.......(Thanx for stretching, Marcus )

Lines by machine, filling tapped

Playing around with the pacific styles........

A cool dude came in and asked for a tree of life in poynesian style........
The Neotribal triangle and the writing on top is not my work, just the traditional influenced Maori pattern.
It s done by hand partly only, the line up is by machine.
The black triangle at the very bottom of the design goes back to samoan tradition, you can find it in the Peá as a symbol that reminds you to expect the unexpected and also represents the fruit bat or flying fox.
We´re 90% done at that point......

Some older works on sergeant S. who really deserves his pacific warrior tattoos and wears them with pride!!!!

 

Another pacific design containing the wheel of life.......

A typical pacific design, that shows us that the idea of the swastika always was spread allover the planet.
