Eagle and lion

Design Story

This mainly Marquesan armband was prepared for Solomon as an integration to an existing tattoo he already had in the same style, and it includes some other elements that are important to him, as an eagle and a lion head, designed to match the style.

Additional symbols are shark teeth and spearheads next to the lion to symbolize strength and courage, and the path to knowledge with birds next to the eagle to symbolize wisdom and watching the world from a higher perspective.

The flight of the albatross represents a voyage that leads back home, with a cross next to it, while stepping stones represent achievements and lessons learnt.
