this balikbayan client wanted to have a tribal tattoo,since he liked the tattoo of jaguar paw's enemy (apocalypto), i made a twist out of it and composed my own components.

my client brought a flash of a dragon,and since i don't want to copy anybody's design,made a new sketch,modified it,and rendered the details in my own style

what is hanya? it's a face of a woman who has grown so jealous that she has become disfigured and has grown horns.....the mask is normally used to ward off evil and has become popular in recent tattooing culture...

a polynesian/filipino tribal style..honestly,i don't have any ideas about the meanings of each details,i just modified the stripes,arranged it geometrically,and as long it looks neat and presentable...
its a mix of style,,,this is exactly what the client wanted,so all i need to do is to arrange all the main subject and fill all the space with a jap background...

my client brought a print of a vampire(originally from d.d's work),since he liked the concept,i just modified it,making it sure it would look differently from d.d's piece....had fun doin' it...

this tattoo was done on my client's rib cage, since he really like frazetta's art, we choose one of his masterpiece, "the death dealer"...hope you like it!!

this tattoo was done on my client's arm...since he's a member/guitarist of a local hardcore band,he wanted a design that would fit his lifestyle,so we both decided a darkside image...a freehand design,the concept is a skull with tentacles....

this tattoo was done on my client's calf...a traditional style skull and flame with a polynesian tribal spade background...

this style is one of my favorite yet time-consuming..coz i could play along in putting colors..it's kinda freestyle thing.. i'm just so thankful having this kind of site coz a lot of other great artists that inspires me,letting my work get closer to perfection..

sometimes we based the tribal designs to the roots,cultures and the meanings behind..or make a new style but still preserving the essence out of it...when doing such one,PATIENCE is the key to a perfect tattoo..

when tattooing women,i make sure that the designs should fit-in to their personalities,and put it on the area where they could feel sexier when they already have one..

until now, black and grey for me still a never-ending learning process..i always keep observing the rendering,strokes and the over-all impact of the design..and making sure the quality is always at its best.

i did this during the national tattoo competition.."pinatikai 2007".. won tattoo of the day... playing along with the colors and original concept of the design...i did it,,,once again!!!

cover-up tattoo is the most challenging in tattooing for me,coz it is where the artist give all his talent,visualizing the old tattoo and put a new concept without damaging the new design...
