Jalayahay Ink

~ Filipino Tribal Piece , a little throwback ~ For those that don't know, I am no longer tattooing at Vine St tattoo. Grateful for the experiences and times I had there. Something new is brewing, cannot wait to share this new adventure with you all. So thankful for all my clients over the years - the past / present and future... Jalayahay Ink is evolving, thank you for being a part of the process

A little flashback Friday ~ this Filipino leg piece was finished in one session! Excited to continue to grow my portfolio this year! Hoping to do of course Filipino + Polynesian tribal this year + Japanese and floral work cheeee huuuu

This time last year I designed my first round of apparel and set up at my first convention- while also finding out my wife was pregnant with our second child. One year later, our son Cassius is now earth side and our family is happy and healthy. It would have been awesome to attend the convention again but haha you know (covid) .... So I figured let's hit this goal and do another round of apparel! Thank you so much to those who have already ordered - our Ohana appreciates the support! Pre-Sale for these pieces will end tomorrow night! Please DM me for any questions! < DARTH ONI Hoodie retails for $35 >

Some Filipino tribal work I did last year and never posted! In case you're new here ~ all my work is custom designed and free handed day of appointment for each client. There's a level of trust needed when receiving a tribal tattoo, it can be a hard concept but trust the process ... NOT CURRENTLY TATTOOING due to shutdown - however I am taking on digital work + consulting for future appointments. Mahalo for your continued support.

Just wanted to say MAHALO for the continued support during these times. Pretty crazy stuff going on ~ but if we all try our best to stay focused and support the good we will all come out of this stronger. I am taking design work on again until we can tattoo face to face. Stay safe and healthy The Jalayahay INK Ohana

Filipino tribal add on for my client Clark We've building on this piece for some time - chest piece is next! @ Jalayahay Ink

Filipino tribal band of course completed before the shut down of non essential business. Keeping busy at home though - started up some painting projects + still working on digital designs. Thank you to all the supportive clients during this time! DM me for any inquiries on art pieces / bookings for future appointments

Cover up project from a while back! Swipe all the way to the end for the before We used Polynesian tribal to help hide his older tattoo, feels strange to continue to post with everything going on. I miss tattooing but I'm thankful our family is staying safe. I hope everyone else is staying safe out there too! @ Jalayahay Ink

Polynesian piece finished at my last day at the shop! This was an add on + cover up to some of his existing work done by a different artist. Really enjoyed adding some new details - missing tattooing and being at the shop!! @ Jalayahay Ink

Throwing it back to this Filipino piece we did over the course of a weekend on my client who traveled over from the East coast. Crazy how fast life can change - subtle reminder to stay grounded. Officially not tattooing until further notice for the month of April. Hoping May will be a different story - but right now only time will tell. DM me for any questions / bookings / art inquiries @ Jalayahay Ink

Now offering digital custom tattoo designs I have had a lot of people ask if I design pieces, and typically I don't have time with my workload at the shop. BUT since we're closed temporarily - I have some time to draw and I'm eager to create! DM me for any inquiries

Piece #2 for my client a Ronelle Honored to continue to tell his story through these Filipino tribal pieces. @ Jalayahay Ink

Polynesian piece Born on the islands my client Stephen wanted to have his roots close by - cheeeeeehuuu @ Jalayahay Ink

Fun add on I did at the @goldenstatetattooexpo ~ Filipino tribal with some modern alternative touches. ~ Now booking for March 2020 - taking on new and existing clients!! @ Golden State Tattoo Expo

An addition for my return client - we mixed Fijian / Polynesian and Filipino tribal. Such an honor when clients return for more work, many Mahalos ~ March calendar is open and booking up, DM taking on new and existing clients. @ Jalayahay Ink

A little dash of red tribal to mix it up, I don’t usually do color work - but really stoked on how this came out. Love the contrast in tones! This Filipino tribal piece with the dash of Mexican heritage - this was a rad piece to add onto, reminds me of my daughter Marley~ our little mexi-pinay girl (( Center Sun and stars piece done by a different artist )) NOW BOOKING for MARCH 2020 @ Jalayahay Ink

Mixed tribal forearm band, Filipino + Polynesian tribal. ~ Custom fitted day of appointment for each client, check out my saved highlights to see my design process Few last minute spots open for February, and books are now officially open for March!! Let’s create something new! @ Jalayahay Ink

My clients first tattoo ~ we finished this piece at the @goldenstatetattooexpo a few weeks ago!! Filipino tribal + Sampaguitas finished off with an Alibata add on. A piece full of meaning, honored to be a part of this first for her! Thank you for coming to the convention as well @agiyakelly @ Golden State Tattoo Expo
