Design Story

This band tattoo was requested by Dejan to integrate a tribal elephant´s head he already had.

The path of Kamehameha represents the difficult path to success (the sun shaped by coconut leaves for prosperity), faced with courage and tenacity (the spear heads), fighting spirit (centipedes) and adaptability (shark teeth).

The all-seeing eye and the front warrior with outstretched tongue (challenge) shaped by two tiki are protective symbols while the row of birds represents voyage and includes a different one to symbolize uniqueness.

The hammerhead shark motif represents tenacity and strength while the upside down enata symbolize enemies defeated along the way.
