That is really beautiful…good for him!
Cute! What a way to overcome balding. I was just having a conversation about balding a few minutes ago!
It’s a very impressive piece.
Why is it that this is called “polynesian styled” but when anything remotely looks Maori-like and is on someone’s face, you call it “moko” (which they invariably aren’t)?
Original_Sly – I never call a facial tattoo a moko unless the wearer specifically identifies it as such.
This is absolutely stunning… the tattoos aren’t bad either 😛
But in all seriousness, the work is stunning (regardless of what it’s actually called).
Damnit, I said stunning twice. Disregard that 🙂
y’kno how people always say “think of how thats going to look when you’re old!” well…he can jus grow his hair cant he? or put on a hat. lol.
its very pretty. (Y)
Is he bald or does he shave? My follicles are still active — bad luck for me — so when I’m done with a razor you can see what portion of my head would have hair if I wanted it.
I see much the same thing in the lower picture. In its upper-left quadrant, the border of the follicles above the fish’s head suggests that he’d have a widow’s peak (similar to mine actually) if he let his hair grow. The follicles are especially apparent in the lower two quadrants, inside the circular ink.
I may be wrong but I think he shaves.
he looks like my lecturer at uni! i only wish he was.
Haha even if the person identifying said moko is a random american? lol
i like that he has a huge head tattoo and we can’t even see any ‘regular’ spots tattooed! nice way to start
Awesome! 🙂
Thanks!!
Ah…that is beautiful! Very nice!
I think this is a great tattoo. It’s so neat and clean. I do find it a little strange that he doesn’t have any visible tattoos on his body. I just seem to think there’s a natural order to tattooing. Like the face, neck and head are the last things that get covered. But I’m all for breaking the rules. 😉
