Surfing Tattoos

[snowy]

Hey everyone, first poster here.

I've actually been looking for a while with no luck for tattoo designs of surfing related. In particular I'm looking at getting one done myself of an "inside the barrel looking out" image. I really like the stylings of drew brophy and his work has been the closest to what I think I would get done. Can anyone help with other artists that do similar work?

Does anyone know or have any examples of different surfing related tattoos?

Cheers

Know the feeling! I have been looking as well, as I want to incorporate some surfing into a sleeve design, but apart from Brophy, have not found anything. As nice as Brophy's designs are, they are a little "naive" for my liking, and I will keep looking. If I find anything, I will let you know.

Andy Davis would definately be a cool inspiration for a tattoo I think...

Yeh I agree they are little too cartoony for what I am after. Does anyone remember the artwork designed for the Quiksilver Gold Coast pro in 2008? I can't seem to the find these artworks anywhere or who did them?

You know what, I like surfing tattoo. Of course there are wave tattoos, then various tribal tattoos, anything related to Hawaii, anything a bit more spiritual or just plain and simple words that represent the essence of surfing, words that represent the stoke, words that represent your feelings towards surfing. How I wish I could have this too in my body. But I think I would have o consult first my boyfriend.
