Jennas Pueo

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.

Papale Pulelehua

So I've been working on butterflies lately because I'm working on a tattoo for a friend. So when I finished all of the butterflies she asked for, I decided to make just one more while the idea was still fresh in my mind. So this is Papale Pulelehua or "Butterfly hat"...yeah that's all I can think of, oh well.

Summer Project

So it's been a while since I posted what I have been up to. So this summer, besides working on hats, tattoos, and new graphics, I decided to start a "home improvement" project. Below are some pics of the wall that I've been painting in my soon to be studio.
