CREATIVE PROJECTS

  • King 'Afa is available for commercial collaboration across film, television, advertising, brand identity, streetwear, product design, sports, and institutional projects.

  • His creative work is not tattooing applied to commercial briefs. It is cultural authorship brought to commercial contexts — with the research depth, historical accuracy, and design intelligence that distinguishes his work from every Pinterest-sourced alternative in the market.

  • Selected Project Credentials:

  • Polynesian tattoo design featured in a 2008 Super Bowl commercial (Cars.com)

  • Tattoo design work for Sons of Anarchy (FX, 2008–2014), including work visible on the character Otto
