This Polynesian tattoo for the ankle and foot was prepared for Gara and it is dedicated to her partner and to their life together.
It is shaped like a humpback whale to symbolize the care and support they have for each other (also represented by the star near the two chasing birds).

The story begins on the ankle with their families of origin (the turtle shell) where two lives (the hammerhead shark and the hibiscus flower) join in a double spiral (meeting) to face together (the braid) the difficulties (moray eel) with a fighting spirit (the spearheads).

The waves are a symbol of change and also represent their passion for the sea, while the fish hook is a symbol of knowledge and prosperity.

The row of birds represents their journey together, which continues toward the future, where the two are represented as warriors and become a reference for others (the row of people).

The tiki and the tiki eye are symbols of protection.
