Turtle tattoo in Polynesian style
This is a Polynesian tattoo for Mia, visitor and customer of this web. You can see the simple steps to create this tattoo ONLINE.
Custom Tattoo Design Process step by step:
A visitor to this custom tattoo site, Mia, sends me an Easy Tattoo Form asking for a unique turtle design in Polynesian style. She wanted a turtle tattoo with a plumeria flower on the shell, in Polynesian style, with some organic, fluid shape as a background.
First step: quick draft
I sent her this quick tattoo drafts with and without the background:
Second step: 1st tattoo draft:
Mia chose idea B for her tattoo. So I worked on this sketch a little more.
“Hi Mia, this is the draft , B option, with a more finished turtle, and background of Polynesian designs and twirls. Tell me what you think”
Last tattoo draft
Mia wanted a softer plumeria flower, and in the center of the turtle shell.
“Hi Mia, this is the tattoo draft with a different plumeria flower in the center. Tell me what you think”
Last step:
In just a couple of days, Mia received her dream tattoo, by email, with the stencil, ready to be tattooed in the shop in her area.
Honu: Polynesian symbol of family:
Polynesian tattoos are made up of many different types of symbols, including turtles or Honu, a symbol of unity and family. Read more about the different Polynesian designs and their meanings here.
