Designs & Meanings

Butterflies among the cherry trees

Loving life, freedom


Veronica requested an Asian styled tattoo for her foot, with butterflies and flowers. The hi-res image contains two versions of it: the upper one has a date and a letter hidden inside, whereas the lower one has not.The butterfly symbolizes freedom and transformation, and the cherry flowers symbolize the "carpe diem", living every moment as if it was the nicest and the last: cherry flowers actually have a very short life, but while blooming very few things can match their beauty.A curiosity: this philosophy of living every moment without fears, caring not for death either, totally, is also at the basis of bushido, the codex of samurais, who often used the cherry flowers as their symbol on account of this.
























Healing lotus


Relief

Kristine requested a tattoo to symbolize overcoming adversities and new birth.The lotus flower, blooming high over the muddy waters it is born in, symbolizes this. The adversities in this case are chronic pains, pictured as the burning fire the lotus blooms out of. It´s a suffered, non linear conquest, which will take her to healing, like a butterfly, transformed and free.The lotus flower hides a twist in its petals to symbolize the love of her dear ones, who will always be there to help her.
























Lotus on fire

Perfect eternity

Fire represents change, life, and the spiral in the middle of it wants to symbolize the eternity of life, its continuity and perfection, as symbolized by the lotus flower, as well as overcoming difficulties.A tribute to freedom is contained in the stylized seagull wings formed by the upper left petal of the lotus flower and the nearby small flame.Designed for the base of the neck.

Tattoo is An Art On Our Body

Tattoo as body art has been enjoyed by practically every civilization and culture in history down through the years. All these people had one thing in common; they appreciated the artwork of beautiful tattooing.

The reasons for getting a tattoo are as numerous as there are people who wear body art. Having your body displayed with the magnificent art of colorful tattoo, is a personal choice as is the tattoo you chose to adorn your body.
Some tattoo enthusiasts choose a tattoo because they just love the idea of being a walking masterpiece; their love for art is what leads them to decision to have body art displayed upon them. Others choose to have tattoos that show their relationship to certain things like butterflies and unicorns, as well as the soldier and seaman who want to display their pride of association to their chosen career.

There are bikers who revel in being a rebel, and well covered executives, too. Then there are gang members who reveal their member hood with pride. Actors, dancers and check out clerks who like to let slip a surprise every now and again. Some individuals or even large groups choose body art tattoo in honor of a loved one, or in remembrance of an occasion.

A tattoo is a very personal and permanent form of body art, making the decision to have a tattoo should always be because you really want it. Never have a tattoo done for anyone other than yourself and for your own reasons. Doing so allows you to enjoy your body art so much more.

Tattoos are known for their beauty and meaning. The art of tattooing expressed on a body carries much feeling. Bursting brilliant colors and shading of hues, or simply elegant blacks and grays. Living symbols of that which is in a heart, unless of course the tattoo was ill gotten by a drunk or even worse given by an uncreative artist.

People take notice, as it is impossible not to do. Nevertheless, tattoos also give us a small peek into the essence of a person who wears the body art. Tattoos are actually permanent inked in pieces along the story of the life of one who wears them. Tattoos are body art expressions of the personality.


Since tattoo pictures of color and location have meaning, it is wise to consider that there may be times when the wrong impression is taken by another individual. Before you bear it all, it is best to do a lot of thoughtful research into the colors and symbols that are expressed by tattooing.
