Just did this the other day on my good friend Jenna Pang-ching. Her aumakua are both the pueo(owl) and the puhi(eel). So to combine the two I put the features of the pueo along with its feathers and incorporated it into a design in the shape of the puhi's body. Both aumakua are protectors in the two realms in which they reside, the pueo in Wao ka lani(the sky) and the puhi in kai 'akea(the ocean). This tattoo will serve as protection as well as her own "808 iD" as she travels to Portland Oregon to attend College.
I like the combination of the two ideas into one. Good mana'o.
