Usually ill just post a bunch of stuff that I personally work on or am involved with but every day there is constant movement around me/and the shop. So much happening people coming and going, too much to even keep track of. These are just some of the photos i snap around the shop when im not working.
(applying stencil to butt cheek)
(supper sick tattoos by Toby1kanobi)
(congrats mark and soni, this was the original henna pattern on her foot from her wedding. she just decided to make it permanent. chee!)
(traditional hand tapped by Suluape Aisea)
Just a cool photo i got to take of Teo. (one of those customers that are just real genuine) i appreciate that
Not too much script from me lately but that doesn’t mean i don’t want to do it. Congrats on the new edition to your family! (crazy john)
Helen all the way from New Zealand, found me in hawaii
A cool tattoo i got to do and the talented & beautiful Erica Miguel, she took it like a champ. This is probably the start of a big project. She brought along this handsome guy here. ER represent!! chef Ryan is da man
So a little while back i got asked if i was interested in doing a small write up in the up coming CONTRAST magazine. Of coarse i said yes and was super stoked. I just hope i don’t come off as sounding super dumb, but oh well. We’ll see. For real tho, I really appreciate what these guys got going on and the quality product they produce, as far as content, art work, photos, articles and just an over all feel of the magazine itself. It also doesn’t hurt that the people behind Contrast are all really cool and easy to get along with. For more info about contrast magazine check out their website. CONTRAST MAGAZINE.com
Some time i just don’t know what to write, but laying on the ground staring at this stupid computer is definitely giving me a sore neck. I am in dyer need of a massage and probably some chiropractic and or acupuncture work but am too scared to go. Any way this is my friend Justin, but since there are to many justin’s in the universe “they” deemed him FACE. WHY? i have no frickin clue. Upon getting both his hands tattooed and ruining any chance of rejoining regular society or finding a suitable match on e-harmony, he and another fellow confidant got this tattoo. (yes, its a potato)……..
I haven’t been really been on here or at the shop doing tattoos for that mater but lots of shits been going on. So to make up for it here are a bunch of pictures to pacify your undying urge to know whats going with me and my ultra cool extravagant life….. yaaah right.
you have no idea how much i hate getting tattooed.
new official CUKUI store opening up soon!
fern (both sides)

congratulations “Tattoos by Bong” (shop 1 year anniversary party)
How nuts is this. Kaeo’s brand spankin new baby and the first this she sees after being brought into the world is my shirt! hahah this kid is gonna hate me later, sorry kid… congratulations kaeo & nicole
i jacked this pic off FB, my cool customers jesse and lora. rocking the Orange Passion shirt i did for KICKS!
This is my friend Kaeo, always down, always positive, always cool. Personally i don’t know how he does it but he does and i respect him for that. I just recently attached a old sleeve that he had for ever to his neck. That way his tee shirts with the stretched neck holes will show that he’s not faking the funk! hahah (inside joke). On a side note i don’t even know what holiday it was today or even that there was one… All my days mesh into one and the only time i know is when i need to be at work. The rest of that time is spent on how to take over the world. But in the mean time i do tattoos for a living, if you didn’t already notice. Ps why didn’t anyone tell me there was a lantern ceremony to day… I would have wanted to go!
JayO giving respect to his parents. A trick commonly used amongst kids trying to not piss off their parents. “heeeeeey mom…… so i got another tattoo….”. This ones kinna hard to show cos it wraps all the way around but you get the point. Also be on the look out for NOTEWORTHY, coming soon.
Marilyn Monroe portrait, her first tattoo, she sat like a champ didn’t even flinch. Lets hope her next employers love Marilyn as much as she dose! hahah just joke. really fun though.
Danny’s support team. NERDS!!!
Just finished this one up. Haley “3.14″ Pi’s arm. One of the more crazy tattoos that i’ve done for sure. Lots of cool imagery and lots of randomness but some how it all worked i guess. Girl, skulls, heart, mandala, jesus, roses, eyeballs ect… check it out. LAAAAAAWWWRD DA MEEERCY im tired…. 4 am I just got home from finishing a commission painting i’ve been cramming for the past 2 nights and im so glad its finished. ”only god judge me!” time to sleep
