This full sleeve tattoo prepared for Stefanie tells the story of a life: the spiral close to the wrist represents its beginning and a wandering path up to a meeting that will give it a direction (the compass, after which the path becomes straight) where love and nurturing (the whale) are the most important values.

The turtle (family) with symbols of union like the coupled ipu, the braid, and flax leaves, brings freedom (the manta on the shoulder, the final destination, surrounded by a sun as a symbol of positivity and eternity).

The row of birds represents this voyage, the hammerhead shark symbolizes perseverance and tenacity while fish and palm trees are symbols of prosperity and serenity.

Flowers are symbolic of femininity and beauty and the hibiscus in particular is also a symbol of living every moment fully.
