DESCRIPTION AND MEANING:
In this Polynesian shoulder tattoo prepared for Anthony, a warrior at
the base has spearheads starting from him and embracing the whole design
to represent protection for the elements in the middle: the turtle
(family, with chasing birds on the shell to represent help always
granted to the loved ones), and his daughters.
The two tiare flowers (beauty and femininity) representing his daughters are central with their names next to them to symbolize their centrality in his life, with braid
for family unity, and a Marquesan cross as they give him harmony and
balance.
Each daughter has a ahuahu o Mataora motif next to her to symbolize that they both have a tenacious spirit that leads them through every challenge, with a hammerhead shark motif next to one and a kape motif next to the other for tenacity and fierceness.
Both are surrounded by a sun for success and joy, while another sun made of mountains is on the outside to represent joy and stability.
The hammerhead shark represents Anthony, and it´s a symbol of tenacity
and strength, while the centipede symbolizes fighting spirit.
The compass on top is a symbol of direction, and the stepping stones
symbolize the knowledge he passes on to them.
