DESCRIPTION AND MEANING:

This Polynesian tattoo of a manta was designed for Jean-Marc´s pec, and it represents freedom, beauty and knowledge.
In its center we placed a turtle (family and the navigator), with a dolphin (joy, play) on one side and fish and fish hook (prosperity) on the other.

Waves represent the ocean and the row of birds symbolizes voyage.

The turtle includes a couple representing him and his wife protecting their two children below tehm.
Braids and flax leaves surrounding family are symbolic of unity while the sun encircling them all is a symbol of eternity and joy.

Shark teeth, tiki hands and tiki eye are for protection and the hammerhead shark motif is for tenacity and strength.

The colored image below shows the main elements within the tattoo:
