Polynesian Tattoos

The world of Polynesian and Maori tattoos has been thrown into the limelight in the last few years, firstly by Robbie William and more lately (and quite probably more suitably) by The Rock, the famous film star and wrestler who has an impressive design which is intricate, large and tells a rather in-depth life story, which is just what these tattoos have always been about.

The image below is a great example of modern Polynesian style tattoos and although perhaps lacking the cultural authenticity of some, the work shown at The Polynesian Tattoo Factory is nonetheless inspired and very well done!

Obscurities Tattoos

Some very nice work over at Obscurities Tattoos & Piercings, including the incredible phoenix as seen below…

Cool Cheshire Cat Tattoo

We came across this really cool design on flickr.com.

Great little tattoo design!

It’s a great little loose design that uses skin space really well – not too much ink makes it really effective.
