The tattooing on his left arm and shoulder is traditional Samoan style tattooing, done by an artist in Hawai’i. It incorporates traditional tribal patterns and symbols representing Johnson himself, his wife and daughter, his family and spirit guides. This extensive half sleeve wraps all the way around the upper arm, over the shoulder and onto the chest. A later session extended the section on his chest, adding a large symbolic warrior face over his heart.
Traditionally, Samoan tattooing was done by an artist, assisted by multiple people. The tattooist would use two tools, one a bone-tipped rake and the other the striking stick. The rake would be dipped in ink, then struck with the other stick to puncture the skin. The assistants had the job of holding the skin of the tattooee taut so that the artist could work
Did u just copy and paste that

Probably be hard to find someone to do it, "normal" tatooists could give it a go, but would never get results like that! He has probably went abroad for his.

Said it was done by a Hawaiian artist.
You'd want it done properly and something that meant something to you and not a copy of his which has specific meanings to him with regards to his family etc

I want a samoan style tattoo done when I go to Hawaii. To have it done properly you have to meet the artist 1st and he'll ask you loads of questions about your life and then go away for like a week and pick the designs IIRC

makes me laugh when people get these shit tatoos of random things like playboy bunnies n shite which cost them like £20,
id be prepared to spend any amount if i was going to get one, not base it around what i could afford.
will look shit in 50 years.
I have been wanting one but i aint sure what i want 
can they remove them without them been noticable and leaving scarring?
