Lion half sleeve

Design Story

Giovanni requested a Maori styled half sleeve with a central design representing the lion, his star sign.

The lion is a symbol of royalty and strength, and this often gets it associated to the sun. The central part of this design is therefore a sun, with a stylized lion head looking left, with korus (symbols of new life and continuity) being the outer edge of the mane.

The lower part of the head includes the zodiac symbol for the lion.
