The Jungle Earth design guide
Design an intentional tattoo
A tattoo can be more than an image. In my practice every piece is drawn from three guides: your body, your blood and your story. Use them as deeply or as lightly as you like.
Three guides
-
Your body as a guide
Explore your bodyWhere will it live? Explore pain, the meridian channels, the five elements and the organs tied to each part of the body, plus tattoo traditions from around the world.
-
Your blood as a guide
Explore your rootsWho carried you here? Look past nationality to the peoples of your line, and the motif families they left behind.
-
Your story as a guide
Share your storyWhat should it hold? A memory, a person, a creature, a turning point. Your intention becomes the heart of the design.
How the design journey works
-
1. The design journey
Four short steps online: your story, your placement, your roots and how to reach you.
-
2. Talk story
A free consultation in Waikīkī to shape the meaning, size and placement together.
-
3. Your design
An original drawing, refined with you through two rounds, never a copy of a sacred or family mark.
-
4. Setting the intention
We begin your session by naming what the piece is for, then bring it to life.
Ready when you are
Bring a feeling, a place, a name or a whole story. We will find the rest together.
