Thanks for yr reply
what a great little place that church lookin tatto shop is.. didnt think places like that existed anymore amidst all the commercial vomit..have to get a tatt there
ok idc how bad that hurts. cause i heard it hurts a lot more.
if i get a tribal tattoo i want a legit one. like that
I was tattooed by Keone last week – truly brilliant guy. The process was a lot less painful than machine tattooing. The church is a small community centre way outside any tourist areas,- it’s in one of the Hawaiian Homestead areas in Nanakuli about 30 miles or so outside of Waikki. He likes to meet with you first and talk about whop you are and where you’re from before he decides what your tattoo should be and where it should go. I felt very honored to receive my Kakau from him.
nice
the tattoos look poorly and tacky. The owner of miami ink looks like a meth addict and his gay friend looks like a retired porn actor.
That shit looks painful
No Pain No Gain!
im not being a dick but if you use sharpie to lay it out doesnt that go into your skin being bad for you
at 1:58 you can see Ami has a pot leaf tattoo on his arm. awsome
2000 years ? are u crazy ??? the first polynesians came like 20 000 years ago to those islands !
The form of where tattoos came about. Appreciation for how the idea of having the oldest originality of ink on your skin. I could only wish half the world knew where this all came from.
do they use traditional ink or new ink?
Thanks for this OscarBrasa =)

No problem 
Ami Youre a typical tattooist up your own ass, tattoo a smile on your fuckn face, you put drawings on people skin, dont do it with an attitude you will only leave an aftertaste I would never get a tattoo done by an arrogant shit like him, your shop is like a tattoo needle full of little PRICKS, Cats the real thing.
that bone work has to hurt ,he’s trying to man up though.
OMG …this is in my neighborhood lol 0.0
