Paper Frank & Tuki Carter are up in DC @ Pinz-N-Needlez...lastnight Tuki added to a piece we are both doing together.... He did an amazing job... Tuki is a master of colors...we have been tattooing together for 16 years so his style and my style flow together nicely... I hope more people get Miya/Tuki body art... Beautiful work bruh...
I took it wayyyy back to my tattoo roots again...I did my first ankh in 1993... They became very popular in the urban community around 1995... I took a break from doing them because they became a trend...but I decided to bring them back after tattooing Zulu out in LA and Erykah Badu promoting me on twitter... It might be a sign.... It was my very first tattoo.... 360 degrees
I'm about to start a posting tattoos from my "Sista Series" images inspired by these dreams I been having lately of female spirits...twisting and flowing like water & air...free spirits...using the side view to show "focus" going in one direction.. Going towards the sun....God
A colorful rebirth represented by the lotus..the short life of the dragonfly...and a classic "City of Ink" background... Flowing with the curves of your arm...this session is finished... Stay tuned.. The next session I'm doing the inside of her arm
My loyal client, Duff added more of my art to his body... This time we did something for God, love, freedom, and happiness... I did this one in the spirit of Africa
For 2011.. I really want to focus on doing more soulful portrait style pieces.... Mixed with a touch of abstract fine art...going to Paris really inspired my art in a different way... I really hope people embrace this style.. For example I want to do a Ray Charles piece..funkadelic colors... As if you were tripping off shrooms....I get excited thinking about it...I Just want to create new styles so I don't get bored...please don't limit your ideas based off what you think I can't do... I study ALL styles of tattooing... I just have to put my own twist to it... So in the honor of the soldier Harriet Tubman... I let her spirit guide me in this tattoo... This piece is very special to me...once it's healed.. I will get one of my photographer buddies to shoot it... And thanks Kevin for being my canvas.. Much love & respect bruh
