Inspired by Rima ore (Karate):
This Polynesian band tattoo was designed for Jimmy to integrate an existing realistic karate belt he got to celebrate how his father and him received the Karate Hall of Fame award.
We surrounded the belt itself with a sun, a symbol of success, with
dots for importance, ku pipi representing community, and a
frigate bird for higher perspective.
We also added elements of prosperity (fish hook and bonito tail),
harmony and balance (the Marquesan cross), and the ends of the belt
continue into the rows ...
