Nawayeah

Design Story

This turtle tattoo inspired by an Australian aboriginal style (Nawayeah is the Goon-goo word indicating the turtle) was prepared for Luca and it symbolizes his son.

The central symbol represents three joining paths, one arriving and two leaving, while the two elements at the bottom are two people, the bigger one embracing and protecting the smaller one, guiding him along life, to whatever path he may choose (the forking going into opposite directions).

By doubling, the path shapes a T, first letter of his son, and the dots represent his birth date.
