This tattoo was designed to cover Paul´s left pec going slightly towards the shoulder.

The hammerhead shark on the left and lower side encircles and protects the turtle representing family; on its shell there is a butterfly with the name Ling as a maorigram on one wing.

Other symbols we used are spear heads to represent the warrior facing the path of Kamehameha (difficult path that leads to success), mountains (stability) and sun (joy, success), braid (union), tiki hands (protection), spirals (eternity) and waves (change).

A second maorigram in the upper part includes the letters L, E, T, S and K.

 I really love this design. I did some changes with it in order to fit the letters of my wife and children and on the shell of the turtle I placed an unborn baby, in honour of the baby we lost.
