Design Story

This half sleeve tattoo was prepared to portray Andrea´s life and passions.

A great part is dedicated to challenges being won, voyages on sea and land (waves and mountains around the shoulder, above the enata representing the friends joining him in these adventures).

In the center, family and a stylized mountain bike are important parts of his life, joined to a Marquesan cross and a ipu symbolizing balance and life while a manta on top with an all-seeing eye are symbolic for freedom and protection.

The hammerhead sharh at the bottom is the warrior symbolizing the tenacity Andrea uses to face every challenge reaching the successes symbolized by the standing stones below the shark.
