Serious Disrespect

Recently been really disturbed at the

attempts of these

cut n paste sloppy copy cats out there.

since this surge of polynesian tattoo emergence.

There have been a flood of these

culture vultures and style bitters

and they are flooding the industry just getting away with a lot

of bullshit.

I rarely have to call people out nor like to. But lines are being crossed

and respect is being lost. people need to be taught

how to go about this tattoo thing with the right intention

and correct approach-

and proper apprenticeship.

if you dont study with us or part of our lineage of artists

please stop copying our designs our flows

our style is our signature.

There is a code and ethics behind the way we do our work.

It involves study , travel and learning

deep rooted meanings. This doesnt necessarily reflect

everyone elses story.

Soulsignature is a family based crew

and have been cultivating for many years

through lineage of mentors and teachers along the way.

Meeting with other tribe members doing research and

creating a very unique and distinct style,

this style is taught n handed down only to the ones who sit and study with after many years and have affiliation with in a very personal basis.

Be influenced be moved be inspired but please do your self a favor

and learn your own creative path. Don't just jump on the wagon and

jack peoples art. Near and far its being done

without regulation- This is a matter of respect

for the barer of the mark, and respect for the artist .

families involved and real people who truly have a

connection with the images and lines

and most important a personal story.

Tattoos are something that transcends time and goes beyond

the spirit of the soul.

These are examples of these foolish amateurs.

I do not know this guy personally

but he insists on copying the original

Beware of these overnight tatuists

claiming to fame all the while doing some one elses style.

your lines might be straight and you may have many clients

who praise you.

But in the end of that tattoo which will never come off

a very disgraceful thing you have committed against

the people who that truly belongs to.

That mistake you can never make right.
