Smile Hawaii Tattoo!!! - April 20th 2010, 11:02 PM

Today I got my newest piece done on my leg. It's a tattoo of Hawaii, where I grew up . I love the place with all my heart and some day I'll go back.

Re: Hawaii Tattoo!!! - April 22nd 2010, 12:02 PM

Actually, it's pretty common for Hawaiians to get the island they're born and raised on or even the entire island chain tattooed on them . It's actually a kind of way to identify "family" (other Hawaiians) here on the Mainland . It's a big scary place out there and it's nice to have a taste of home lol.

Wow I like that idea, and I wasn't informed this was more or less the norm/tradition for Hawaiian born people. I think the tattoo is wonderful and I like the placement because it's different and it looks good, very nice piece of art!

Re: Hawaii Tattoo!!! - April 23rd 2010, 12:47 PM

Thanks, guys . This is number 3. I have one more that I'm going ot get done this summer. It's going to be on my shoulder so I have to do it at a time while I'm not working so much. Throwing boxes and reaching up on shelves is soooo hard with a shoulder piece >_<
