Neil’s Wonder Woman Tattoo by Max Hewat

“I just fell in love with the Wonder Woman pin up idea, this may lead to more!”

Wonder Woman is DC comics character who first appeared in 1941.

Her character is a warrior Princes of the Amazons based on Greek mythology.

She is gifted with a wide range of superhuman powers and superior combat skills. She possesses an arsenal of weapons, including the lassoo of truth, a pair of indestructible bracelets, a tiara which serves as a projectile and in some stories an invisible airplane!

Fiona’s In Memory tattoo by Max Hewat

“I came all the way from Orkney to get tattooed.

This tattoo is in memory of my brother. The Ram horns are for his star sign Aries and the heart is for him.

This was a bit spur of the moment as I was coming to get another tattoo done but that needed more time.”

Thistle Tattoo by Matt Curtis

Thistle Tattoo by Matt Curtis

Thistle Tattoo by Matt Curtis

We have done a lot of Thistle tattoos at Tribal Body Art over the years, usually requested by patriotic Scots or tourists (mostly Americans) with some sort of Scottish connection.

A lot of them have been the same generic “Scottish Thistle” but Sean wanted something more unique.

As a Scot living in Wales Sean wanted this pen and ink style  Thistle to remind him of the old country so Matt Curtis applied his painterly skills and this Thistle tattoo is the result.

New Zealand Fantail Tattoo by Matt Curtis

Carolyn’s New Zealand Fantail Tattoo by Matt Curtis

A beautiful New Zealand Fantail tattoo by our resident tattoo artist Matt Curtis for lovely client Carolyn. She came to Tribal Body Art looking for something more than just a typical New Zealand cliché tattoo.

I’ve lived here for over 20 years and wanted to have some connection with home. I remember the Fantails hopping around the garden at home and didn’t want the usual NZ cliché tattoo so I asked Matt Curtis to design a piece for me with the Fantails on a Pohutukawa tree.

Check out more of Matt’s tattoo work.

Evies Orchid and compass tattoo by Matt Curtis

Orchids are one of the most coveted ornamental plants. Symbolically they represent love, luxury, beauty and strength

Evie “I’ve had this tattoo done in memory of my grandfather who grew them.

I’m starting a travel theme. I already have a globe tattooed by Matt so I wanted to incorporate a compass in this tattoo.”

 

Masonic square and compass tattoo by Matt Curtis

Tribal Body Art on August 13, 2014

 

Stuart, “My father and Grandfather were Masons before me, it’s a family tradition.

I don’t wear Masonic jewellery so I decided to combine my love of Masonry with my love of tattooing and get a Masonic square and compass tattoo.

After some deliberation I decided on the archetypal square and compass by Matt Curtis.

This is my tenth visit to Tribal Body Art and I can’t imagine going anywhere else as I know the quality of work that I will get.”
