Design Story
We decided to name this design "Wairua", or spirit, soul, because it features many elements which often appear in Maori art: the fern bud, or koru, that represents a new beginning; the tiki, a symbol of protection and connection to the Gods, which appears almost on every island of the Pacific Ocean; the lucky bringer geko and of course a series of sea-related animals: turtle, whale, shark (its stylized teeth) and manta ray.
´Cause the real Maori spirit is deeply connected to the sea.
Inspired by a request by Marco.

[TT: always follow the tattooist advice and protect it till it's healed! It's about paying attention for 3 weeks and you will be fine for the rest of your life! :)]
[TT: it is a manaia, a creature with a bird's head, a man's body and a fish's tail... the tail ends immediately under the gecko's left front paw]
