Twisted, spiral |April 15, 2015

Design Story

This tattoo spiraling like a snake around Lucrezia´s arm incorporates several sea related elements: a hammerhead shark (tenacity, strength and determination, but sociality as well), a manta ray (freedom and voyage), a fish (prosperity) and a sea shell (love and safe shelter).

The flowers of frangipani (beauty, femininity) and a Fijian version of the flax leaves motif (family) make the tattoo gentler and more feminine.

Other elements are a lizard (luck, protection), shark teeth (protection and adaptability), a tiki (protection) and the silhouette of Africa, with waves to symbolize the sea and neverending changes and korus for life and new beginning.
