Drew Midtskau is a Vancouver-based tattoo artist practicing at Monkey King Tattoos, where he specializes in a distinctive fusion of traditional Pacific art and contemporary blackwork.

His technical focus is centered on the Tabua style, which draws deep inspiration from the cultural heritage of Fiji and the wider South Pacific.

By utilizing bold geometric patterns, intricate linework, and heavy black saturation, Drew creates custom compositions that honor traditional motifs while adapting them to the modern medium of tattooing.

The artistic process at the studio emphasizes large-scale, freehand designs that are tailored to the unique musculature and anatomy of each collector.

Drew’s work is characterized by a commitment to cultural storytelling and precision, ensuring that every piece functions as a powerful, permanent narrative on the skin.

Through his dedicated study of Pacific iconography and his meticulous application of black ink, he provides clients with high-contrast, durable body art that bridges the gap between ancient traditions and current aesthetic standards.
