RE: My Polynesian tattoos Part I
Very cool design! Very clean and flawless. What does this particular design represent?

For Tahitians it represents all kinds of life’s accomplishments, for me it is just all about the beauty of the art. I fell in love with the esthetics of Tahitian Polynesian tattoos. It follows the anatomy of the body and accentuates the body beautifully. Some people have a dolphin tattoo and tell you it represents their love for the ocean. I’m not into it that way. Can you see the lizzard in it? I just think that’s awesome designing, but I never had a lizzard for a pet :) Overall you might say the design represents me, as a bold, unique, strong, positive and upbeat person. But that’s about it. I could tell you what symbols are in it, but they are not in it on my request. I just tell my artist, for example, I want the sleeve to go from here to there, go for it, design something amazing and beautiful and so he does :)
Your trust in your tattooist was definitely rewarding. And the tattoo artist is very skilled as well! It's somewhat abstract, I'm not sure if I'm looking at a lizard or not. I could be wrong, but I see it's tail, body, head, and eyes. Absolutely bold, unique, strong, positive, and upbeat. Thank you for sharing!
He is to be trusted, that’s for sure. Some artists are great at designing, some can put down a great steady line in the perfect depth of the skin, he just does it all. I feel very lucky to have met him. In 2018 we are going to do the final pieces and then I am done. I think I might going to miss it :) But I had clear design myself, as to from where to where and what parts of the body I want to stay ‘naked’ and I am sticking to it.
Maybe I will make videos for Steemit when my tattooartist is working on the next tattoo :)
