My name is Darin Shiu. I'm born and raised on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. I'm just a Lover of Wisdom exploring the art of mad science. I've climbed out of more hells than I can count by the Grace of GOD and have a LOVE for sharing the gems I collected along the way.
Just a human being dialing in the art of living against all odds.
I’ve been tattooing since 2009, beginning as a passionate hobbyist before completing a formal apprenticeship in 2017. However, I've been an artist my whole life. Tattooing in Oahu, Hawaii.
Sacred Art
Tattooing and painting for me is an ancient, sacred practice—a living prayer, a shield of protection, and a mark of transformation. Symbols, motifs, archetypes that tell a story. Stories are what make or break us. It can destroy our health like the victim secret stories each human tells themselves or it can preserve the heart of ancient culture, ancient wisdom, and or codes of our destiny.
As a professional tattoo artist since 2017, I honor the ancient wisdom traditions that once preserved our health, wealth, Love, and happiness. In modern times with modern technology, a new era, with new bio-spiritual and ecological crisis, emerges the exploration and mission of my art. Surrealism, graffiti (yes I can still get down lol), sacred geometry, Polynesian, black and grey, dot work, and styles that have yet to be labeled. Every piece I create is infused with meaning, intention, and energy tailored to your unique journey, whether it’s a symbol of prosperity, guidance, or protection.
The more you surrender to my process, the better the outcome. The more controlling you are of my process and life experience in craft, skill, and intuition, the more you interfere with the gift I'm trying to give you!
***In some instances if there is too much interference with this sacred process, I will cancel the tattoo and refer you to a more fitting artist for the job. There will be no refund for the prep work I do.
The Principle of Soul Symphonics is an ecosystemic and comprehensive integrative methodology I developed to nurture and sustain the journey of self-mastery. It is a one of a kind integrative methodology for making the unconscious conscious.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious it'll direct your life and you'll call it fate." —Carl Jung
This includes identifying unconscious addictions, breaking addictions, understanding culturally accepted addictions, reversing chronic mental, emotional, and physical illness / instability and disease. It involves developing emotional intelligence, relational consciousness, and the capacity to actualize greater potential, purpose, vitality, creativity, and deep soul fulfillment.
The human soul is an ecosystem of ecosystems—A web of relationships to self, others, and all of creation. Soul Symphonics is a comprehensive map for seeing into your Self as a web of ecosystems in order to clearly understand what grows, flowers, and produces fruits in your life, and vice versa. It is a comprehensive map to transform suffering into actualized potential.
Cosmic Arcadian Laws & Principles
Restore the connection to the Arcadian Intelligence of the cosmos, whose design of order and the terrains of our bodies has been lost and erased by modern industrialized society and dogmatic political religion. I shine a light on the intelligence that organizes the cosmos and nature so you are no longer unconscious of the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that keep most people in a vicious cycle of suffering.
Integrating Body Mind & Spirit
Discover your individual sacred needs for your particular body and condition—what in your ecosystem of life is feeding off your life force, where you’ve unconsciously been groomed and indoctrinated into mental and emotional CAGEs, severing your vitality and authentic soul potential to flower. Awaken to the six core terrains of your life, all of which are interconnected, life giving or soul sucking in your web of life.
Holistic Addiction Recovery
Experience a truly one of a kind comprehensive approach to addiction recovery that addresses the root causes of addiction. I cover the entropic CAGE of addiction. These are the largely unconscious addictions modern society has maladapted with, due to traumatized, malnurtured, and underdeveloped nervous systems. These are the primary addictions to Control, Approval, Gratification (Instant), and Enmeshment with dysfunctional relationships. Through Soul Symphonics we begin our journey nurturing ourselves with primary sacred needs, to leverage the law of nurture.
