Right hamstring traditional hammerhead shark (the protector) done by Poly at Raro Ink Rarotonga (6 hours straight ouch)

Left hamstring tells my journey so far, my whakapapa (genealogy) & the hibiscus represents all the strong women in my life. Done by Maori tattooist Ra formerly of Dreamhands Tattoo, Auckland.
He spent 2 hours discussing who I am, my family and what is important in my life. Every line is part of my story. 6.5 hours later (didn't learn my lesson the first time)...

I have many tattoos and each has its own story, but these are my most personal and as it's Tattoo Tuesday I wanted to share them with ya'll.

Hope you have a good day!

cool tats

Actually wasn't too bad until it got to the very top of the thigh, then I cranked the music & I just had to suck it up ;)

Right on! It's weird but the trolls seem to have stayed away this time (or am I tempting fate?)

Oh man, does it hurt to sit?

Yeah it did. The flight back from Rarotonga (4 hrs) the day after wasn't my smartest decision
