Polynesian

Ryan

Born and raised in Lahaina, Maui, Ryan is well known for his freehand tribal work and draws on his local background to bring authenticity and intention to every piece.

His linework is precise, intentional, and deeply saturated. He skillfully freehands Polynesian-inspired patterns directly onto his clients, creating designs that complement the body's natural shape and musculature.

Ryan is also highly skilled in fine line, black and grey, and traditional tattooing. His versatility allows him to blend styles into unique designs—from black and grey whales moving through complex tribal patterns to vibrant plumerias incorporated into intricate micro-Polynesian work that flows across the body like jewelry.
