“Loved the idea of pirates, the
ocean and the impending danger that lies beneath the waves. All about the pirates life for me!”
James Novaes Tattoo by Pym Mahon
“Some of my best and hardest times diving as a commercial diver were while harvest diving for geoducks, sea cucumbers and scallops. I’ve always been in awe of the hardhat and hand pumps of old days. If you look at the tattoo the hat is a Japanese TOA, the diver is a California abalone harvester; kelp, coral, jellyfi sh and Gorgonian are all native to California. The tattoo took about six 2-hour sessions to complete.”

“I got this manta ray done by Big J after a trip to French Polynesia. It’s of a photo I took of a manta on an impromptu snorkel with a dozen or so of them. I had Big J add the hammerheads above, after a trip to the Galápagos Islands.”
