Design Story

Carol requested this Maori styled tattoo of a chameleon to be placed on her left shoulder blade towards the shoulder.

Drawing it we used korus (life, new beginning), the hammerhead shark motif (tenacity, determination), stylized spear heads (courage, strength), the braid (family union), shark teeth making a sun around the eye (protection, adaptability, joy), an octopus tentacle (intelligence, tenacity); the tail curls into a spiral as a symbol of eternity.
