Design Story

In this manta tattoo for the back the turtle is central to symbolize the importance of family to Norma, for whom we prepared this design.
The members of her family are represented by the enata around it, all enclosed inside a sun made of mountains to symbolize joy, eternity and stability.
The two chasing birds symbolize help always granted to the loved ones and the dot below the turtle represents its importance.

The shark and the flower of hibiscus symbolize strength and tenacity, as well as femininity and caring.

The manaia on the left and the hammerhead shark motif on the right protect family, while the fish hooks on the tips of the wings represent prosperity and knowledge.
