Custom Surf Tats

[red]

Know anybody who surfs and does good custom tattoo work? I've got an idea I've been working on for a while and I'd like to get somebody who knows surfing to help me hammer out the final design. I'm not looking for cheap, just reasonable and good.

i hear all the best guys are in wahiwa and waipahu.

I stopped by that Dragon place. That guy only does flash. I'll keep looking and maybe stop by the place next to 7-11 Haleiwa next time I"m up.

Thanks for the reply.

one more thing, red.

wassup wit the firearm avatar? you a shooter? or a gamer?

i tell youse, as a society, we've desensitized ourselves towards such things. you think it's nothing putting shit like that up there. okay fine.

got one question for you, red: HAVE YOU EVER KILLED ANYONE? DO YOU PLAN TO, EVER? if any of those two answers are yes, then disregard my tirade. if the answer is no, then you're a big fucking fake, with a severely warped sense of humor.

guns, knives, swords, bows and arrows, clubs, spears, and daggers...

tell you what, that's one thing we do NOT need in a surfing post, that being the tolerance of weapons and violence. i will not have it.

killing is not a good thing, and an avatar that has a gun pointing at me? well, let's just say i'm conditioned to react to that picture in such a fashion that would turn your hair white...

red, the hawaiian tattoo company on king st. did a great job on a friend of mine. just black though, but i think they also have some guys who do good colour, depends what you want.. i think the guys name was joe or joel... i think he's the owner.

tattoos almost always have good stories behind.
a mate of mine has a half outline of what looks like a house on his leg. his girlfriend was doing it for him with indian ink and a paperclip, she wanted to draw a church, he wanted a rocket, they ended up having a huge argument and broke up so the tattoo never got finshed. i thought it was hilarious

Thanks guys. I'll check into those places in the coming weeks and if I can I'll post the results. That place in Hau'ula sounds promising.

P.S. Sorry you don't like guns, Guest. At least I know you won't want to borrow my 9'6".
