Just some recent photos of Lopeti’s work. He’s back from his trip to New Zealand and Tonga with Aisea, so hit um up!

These are just a few examples of Aisea’s recent tattoos. All except for the little turtle on the girls lower back, were completely done traditional style with the traditional tools. The photos above and below are just examples of different movements rarely seen in traditional tattooing. (i could brag and boast but in my personal opinion the work speaks for itself -photos and text by lucky)

A few months back Jesico had the opportunity to head out to Japan to do a guest spot out in Fukuoka at AMITABAH TATTOO, with Horishow and his crew. And in return, after a visit to San Francisco, Horishow stopped over here for a week and kicked it with us.  Throughout the years we’ve seen and met at conventions before but surprising enough, throughout all of his traveling, conventions and tattooing he has never made it to Hawaii, so we took great pleasure in his aid to gaining 10 hawaiian lbs before sending him on his way back home. It was loco mocos and plate lunches left and right. His reply was always “SO BIG!”… “WHY?” hahahah. Super cool guy and awesome tattoo artist, thank you Horishow!
