Tribute to tradition


Dedicated to restoring tribal ways
Taking matters in my own hands
The Mentawai peoples live through my works
bridging the nesians, the nations
interwoven in the tapestry of lines and meaning

Signifying a shamanistic approach
to this artistry

Crossing paths
and moving towards sacred grounds

Everything I touch
everything I create lives on
streaming from the heart of
Leo Malaya

Mentawai project





Crossing of paths
a ritual undergone

reviving a vanishing artform
another tattoo is born

much pain endured
nothing less than sacred

A crowning moment

Convention

Madd effort n energy went into doing the Amsterdam convention. I was stoked on meeting new people and making new connections. I met a lot of Older Tattoo artist who have been holding it down in the Amsterdam hub. As it was and still is a port for ships and cargo and people flowing through. I can only Imagine how it was here not too long ago when sailors used to come back from polynesia all tattood. Polynesian tattooing is definately imbeded in the people here literally.
