Mehndi scorpion

Design Story

Scorpions are feared and revered animals and they are often used to represent danger.

In Indian traditions though they are also a symbol of passional love; their sting does cause symptoms that remind those of passion: hot flashes, accelerated heart and short breath, feverish eyes, pain if not corresponded.

Chiara requested the tattoo of a Mehndi styled scorpion and we used as a base the peacock traditional motif, symbol of beauty and love, with the rain motif inside representing fertility and abundance.
