Hope is a Marquesan word meaning "piece, part", chosen because this Marquesan styled armband is just a part of the life of Daniele, who requested this tattoo, and because it is an integration to an existing half sleeve tattoo.

In it, among the elements that were used there are a lizard and the symbol for breath to represent health, a flower with seven petals representing a person loved by the gods and shark teeth for protection.
Other protective symbols are a tiki and the all seeing eye while the manta symbolizes freedom and voyages.

The zodiac leo sign was recreated using waves.
