Design Story

This Polynesian style tattoo prepared for Mirko symbolizes a path full of obstacles (the path of Kamehameha) that leads to a higher perspective (the frigate) and to a new positive beginning (the koru formed by shark teeth and the sun).

The turtle incorporates a warrior who supports the family (the flax leaves), protected by ancestors, the hammerhead shark (tenacity and determination), and by the gecko (health).

The row of birds represents the journey and, in this case, the flower stands for creativity.

The colored image below helps identify the main elements within the tattoo:
