Soul Signature Tattoo And Art Studio

I never thought I would but here I am, getting a sleeve.

I hit up Lucky Olelo last year, telling him I was interested but at the time I wasn't sure what I wanted. When I came across an illustration from an artist in Okinawa by the name of ONEQ who specialized in Japanese-American pin-up styles, I knew this was the one.

I knew it was going to be weird to ask Lucky to tattoo it on me because all his work is original. I felt like this style was up his alley and I hoped that he would like the illustration enough to tattoo it on me.

Good news, he didn't get diva on me and he loved the piece. He had to do a lot of altering because the illustration was huge for my arm (that felt like a compliment) and he changed a few things here and there. I finally booked my appointment ($50 deposit to hold your appt) and started my first session in July.

I sat for about 4-5 hours with 15 mins. breaks here and there. All the artists in Soul Signature are very friendly and it feels like a big family in there.

When he was done with the first session, I was more than happy with how he interpreted it.

Nowadays I get a lot of compliments for it because it's very unique and different :)

Can't wait for the final final outcome!

Was going to vacation with the family on Oahu and I decided to find someone to do a tapping tattoo.  Inevitably, and most fortunately, found my way to Soul Signature.  I arranged all the details over email with Monika, who was a pleasure to deal with, and dates were set for the consult and the tattoo.
The shop was easy to find and the consult with Aisea went well.  He is an amazing person and it was an absolute pleasure to meet him.
I am very pleased with the results and the more we spoke the more I realized that he is really trying to preserve the traditions and soul of his people.

Good vibe!  Great staff. Nothing like getting tattooed for 4 hours on the chest. These guys made me feel right at home. I'd recommend them to my mom!  Great work Lopeti (straight up Michelangelo'd it) true artist. Ill remember it as long as I have Chinese sausages... One love bruddah!
