Polynesian eye tattoo with coconut leaves

Hi,<br /><br />I've been working on a new custom design project in the first week of January.<br />My client wanted a quarter sleeve tattoo, covering the shoulder and half the upper arm, in a Polynesian style.<br />I had to incorporate some different tribal elements, like the Polynesian eye, coconut leaves and sharp triangles, as a symbol for shark teeth. He also wanted a turtle shell shape added to the tatoo<br /><br />In the first sketch you can see that I started in the center with the Eye, surrounded by triangular shapes, which looks a little like a sun.<br />Then I drew some coconut leaves below it and made it flow with the circle above it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAi4jc9QkF-lHB7Tfzlx9OVA1oi8krRI_sQpDBXOomHCizz14xnrvYqklWaZP8fvRR_DUM3ZVWB0qBfLDsuWIb6Gxjno7PSbQPF0Ve-ozl9aIN3jpfP0nw5rulgES4uN-urCr8DTeoMkE/s1600/Polynesian+turtle+eye+coconut+leaves+tattoo.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="polynesian turtle eye coconut leaves tattoo" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559763246663411874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAi4jc9QkF-lHB7Tfzlx9OVA1oi8krRI_sQpDBXOomHCizz14xnrvYqklWaZP8fvRR_DUM3ZVWB0qBfLDsuWIb6Gxjno7PSbQPF0Ve-ozl9aIN3jpfP0nw5rulgES4uN-urCr8DTeoMkE/s320/Polynesian+turtle+eye+coconut+leaves+tattoo.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 299px; height: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YEgv98IvwG35YsRKIkBwq-tvwKoOAFa2sQ7O-cMxk5qQ7fyb0vTVrn-PJn1hDJgsGP5FEJBNJCOWCfISPg1GG04pcFm-63AaUxeZKcfpv6va2SFBqEuA2Yb2G2d0y0-2VrOyDhqm5pw/s1600/coconut-leaves-tattoo-polynesian-shoulder-design.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="coconut leaves tattoo polynesian shoulder design" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559763241639628530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_YEgv98IvwG35YsRKIkBwq-tvwKoOAFa2sQ7O-cMxk5qQ7fyb0vTVrn-PJn1hDJgsGP5FEJBNJCOWCfISPg1GG04pcFm-63AaUxeZKcfpv6va2SFBqEuA2Yb2G2d0y0-2VrOyDhqm5pw/s320/coconut-leaves-tattoo-polynesian-shoulder-design.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 259px; height: 320px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In the final sketch I made a symmetrical polynesian mask in the lower center and a repetitive border ath both sides.<br /><br />After tracing it, scanning and optimizing it in Photoshop, the high resolution tattoo looks like this:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMMxi2jYjtEDPliRzRLZjDl0Q7r7ywnjy2ypl8RrPOe4CBl87hDK4ZcfTOuR-euuxe2yJv4qqiWfShPqtcwaq0CiOCTZGEhkWeE094oE3qhCRrcF2_9KZG4X95ViigIDXcHCyX7eOdvc/s1600/high-resolution-polynesian-tattoos-mask.jpg"><img alt="high resolution polynesian tattoos mask" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559764702005874386" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsMMxi2jYjtEDPliRzRLZjDl0Q7r7ywnjy2ypl8RrPOe4CBl87hDK4ZcfTOuR-euuxe2yJv4qqiWfShPqtcwaq0CiOCTZGEhkWeE094oE3qhCRrcF2_9KZG4X95ViigIDXcHCyX7eOdvc/s320/high-resolution-polynesian-tattoos-mask.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 277px;" /></a>Hope to update you soon with a few new projects, so if you want to follow me, simply hit the Twitter button on the right!<br /><br /><br /><br />Kind regards, Mark Storm<br />info@storm3d.com<br /><br />My designs are for sale at:<br /><a href="http://tribalflashtattoos.blogspot.com">http://tribalflashtattoos.blogspot.com</a>
