Tiki Tattoos - my arms and real tikis for inspiration

I have a couple of Tiki Tattoos; both done by Dirk Hays at East Atlanta Tattoo. I highly recommend Dirk, I love his style.

Recognize the guy at the top of the first tiki totem? He's sitting on the beach on the second tat - and he's also in our logo!

I've always been a fan of old-style pinups - pinup girls as drawn back before the WWII - so the second tattoo incorporates both.

You can also see my love for hibiscus. I love its shape and association with Hawaiian Tiki culture but most of all I love the bright colors - it's not well shown here, but the bright orange stamen is very cool (orange is my favorite tattoo ink).

If you're looking for inspiration for a tiki tattoo, go straight to the real thing - checkout our Indoor Tikis or the larger Tiki Totems and Tiki Statues. I've shown a few below.
