Please help to create the first Mahalo Tattoo!

Last year I asked the community to help design a tattoo. How would you design a Mahalo tattoo?
And not too long ago @shadowbear when sniffing around to see if anyone had gotten a Mahalo tattoo yet.
Does anyone have a Mahalo tattoo?

Well... I recently spoke with @tealmyster and she has agreed to get a Mahalo tattoo if someone comes up with a cool design. The only stipulation is that she wants to put it on her ankle.

PLEASE help out so we can officially have our very first Mahalo Tattoo!
Get creative and GO FOR IT!

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Attn: Mahalo devs / staff / creatives: is the 'Mahalo' font available to download or was it made in house? I would like to see how 'Tealmyster' would look in that font.... or 'Bunnyphuphu' for that matter, since I'm still thinking about getting a tattoo for me too! Please let us know!

I think I've got it for you--the ultimate Mahalo tattoo. I think it speaks for itself:

Aww yeah, It's the stuff of Mrs. Calacanis's dreams. For the rest of us, the question is, could this image just be too smokin' for a tattoo? Would everyone just stop and wolf whistle? You wouldn't want to create a public hazard!

Why not a simplified version of the Mahalo logo?

Or the Mahalo hula chick?

Perhaps the simplified Mahalo logo with a surfboard?

If not, I'll come up with something more creative.

I think the hula girl would look awesome on my ankle! Great suggestion, thanks! :)

Why place it on her ankle? What about her forehead?

I dig this - add some plumaria flowers around it (maybe white, pink and yellow), make the mouth a little wider (the better to see Mahalo with) and I think we're got a winner!

Maybe something like this on your ankle with the word Mahalo instead. You could change the colors to be the traditional white and green of the website.

I do like the idea of a surf board though. If I think of anything else I'll let you know! Good luck Teal!

I was trying to work on something that included your black belt if you so wish, and I found this.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but you can change it up to fit what you want. Maybe put the hula girl in the middle there if you like that, or just the flower and "Mahalo"

Alternatively, you could go for more of a look that is true to the Mahalo format and have a solid black line going around your ankle, representing your black belt. The the word Mahalo above it, on the outside, wrapping a little bit inward.

Just some random thoughts, so if you don't like any of these, just toss them out! I'll keep thinking!

First to make it girly and hawaiian add a hawaiian flower any style that you want
here are a couple I like
and of course you can do these any color you like

http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g61/mbhomer24/Graphics/hawaiian_flower_06.jpg

Then add some pretty writing that says MAHALO
Ideas from some places like
http://www.fontspace.com/category/hawaiian

or an Ambiagram

Like this one says Mahalo mahalo one way and turn it upside down and it says mahalo
You can have one custom made to look pretier.

Tattoos are not kosher, and kosher has it spot on this time. But even if some tatoos were ok, one advertising a temporary thing like Mahalo would be ill advised. Do you really think it will be around as long as you will?

Well, the nice thing about it, is that the word "mahalo" is just a word that goes beyond this site. Kind of like having 'love' across one set of knuckles and 'hate' across another doesn't really mean you spend all your time at love.com and hate.com.

Not a very helpful answer to the question, old boy.

Besides, simply because, in your opinion "tattoos aren't kosher," and "even if some tattoos were okay" doesn't mean that they don't have meaning and importance to others. It's critical to point out that tattoos are an outward expression of things that are important to an individual. Simply because you don't agree that a certain tattoo isn't up your alley doesn't make it okay to be a Debbie Downer about the question that the rest of us are really enjoying.

That's why I voted your answer unhelpful.

We have discussed tattoos at more length elsewhere. I have made the basic and most important point once again. You can't change tattoos. For that reason you should only get tattoos, if at all, of things that will be relevant and personal for your entire lifetime. Mahalo is not a suitable subject for a tattoo for that reason.
