"Tropical Diva"
A traditional tattoo of a Cuban doll
Tradition, Nostalgia, Authenticity.
This client wanted a tattoo that reminded him of Cuba. Although he was Puerto Rican, he loved that island.
I was inspired by an old poster for the Tropicana Cabaret, one of the jewels of that country's golden age.
I loved the idea of designing an ancient dancer in her traditional costume and holding maracas.
My client loved it, and so did I.
This tattoo was about 4 x 3 inches in size and cost $300.
