Design Story

The flowers of frangipani are common on most Pacific islands, where they are often used to weave the typical neck chains, the lei, a sign of affection, and they also symbolize beauty and harmony.

Inside the leaves of the flower, along with some Fijian motifs representing bird nets (abundance, unity), we placed a turtle and a tiki to symbolize the central values in the life of Amalaini, who requested this tattoo: family and god.

Korus represent new life.
