Tat design I like
« on: July 09, 2007, 03:36:03 PM »
I don't have a tat as of yet, just never had my bod done with a tat before.  So I like the Hawaiin Tribal design and thought that the center initials would be SBG  O0 as I am Totally Sly, so we will see.  Right now I am sitting on the fence with this one......  O:O

that would be pretty ballsy. tribal is so overdone anymore, that it juseems too mainstream to me. but that is just mho.

Do see a lot of tribals but think the incorporation of initials is a sweet idea.

Well need some idea's.. I like the armband tats and I'm still looking so, it will be a while still.  I may wait until I get back over to the Big Island and get into a place to see what they have.  P@^

I may just get my logo that I have on my business card.

I'll have to post up a pic of my wife's foot.  You'll love the tribal.  Here's her back:

If you are considering a tribal, especially Hawaiin tribal, get it done there.  Dont come back to the mainland and try to find someone to do it.  You will get much more original and authentic work done there.  That is my 2 cents worth anywho! :D

Just an FYI on my Hook Design, in Hawaii certain figures mean something the Turtle, Dolphin etc

The hook represents "Power and Strength"

True!  Unless you are here in the Bay Area.  I can hook you up with my wife's artist that came from Hawaii.  Same guy that did The Rock's tattoos.

Must be good if he did The Rock's work. Are his prices reasonable?
