My name is Mark Storm. I'm a graphic / tattoo designer, specialized in Kirituhi and other tribal tatoo designs.
Kiri tuhi is the name for Maori-inspired tattoos that feature Maori motifs but don't have real cultural meaning. Kirituhi literally means "skin art" and is used to differentiate between Maori-style tattoos and Moko
The tattoo designs I create have NO meanings, symbolism or any kind of story. It's my personal graphic expression of designs, inspired by different tribal tatoo styles and is not related to the original "ta moko" or "maori" culture.
On this blog I will show my tattoo sketches and try to explain some of my drawing techniques in small tutorials. So lots of tattoo stuff and I hope you enjoy reading it!
