@kingwilzaz Just out of curiosity, as i also design tattoos and am currently searching for a tattoo apprenticeship, so what about the way he lines out is not genuine? as far as i knew, as long as you did continuous lines, as you would tattooing (i assume) then it works… of course as im not a tattooist, i cant say. advice would be very welcome

thats really cool… i want to get a similar one on my leg… i guess you can call it a sleeve but i want in to go from my knee to my ankle is there any way you could make one for me… i can pay you for it if you want but i think your work is really good and definantly worth having it shown…

@kingwilzaz erm if you’re a tattooist then you should know that most artists trace over the’re tattoos, and that most people use different techniques, btw nice work.

kirituhi literally means kiri skin and tuhi draw or write. skindrawing.

i have to say tho, the fills are all wrong. they dont sit well with the koru. its the fills that are important not the koru…

From his blog:

Kiri tuhi is the name for Maori-inspired tattoos that feature Maori motifs but don’t have real cultural meaning. Kirituhi literally means “skin art” and is used to differentiate between Maori-style tattoos and Moko

this design is to dificult and wont look nice on a skin.. its different to draw something on a paper than actually tattoing someone.. like ami says on miami ink.. it wont look good on the skin when someone brought a finished idea on a paper

Mark, I’d suggest you to add some pictures how to apply your tattoos to body. Agrre, sometimes it’s hard to understand where it can be placed. For example I like mixed 179 – for which part of body it is?

And second. I’d suggest you to add comment to you web-site news and shop. Thanks.

Hi Fiftyfiveguy,

I draw these designs first with a pencil and trace it with a marker.
You can see more of my work on my blog and website.

Regards, Mark
