Despite the small size, this Polynesian manta tattoo for the hand that we prepared for Cristoph packs a lot of meaning.

The lizard below the manta brings protection and improves the integration with an existing Marquesan tattoo that ended on the wrist, and we kept the elements of the manta mainly Marquesan to match the existing part.

The manta itself represents freedom and beauty, with the breath of life to symbolize the beauty of life and being present in every moment.

Centrally, surrounded by stepping stones for everything achieved and by a sun for joy and happiness, there is the symbol of the couple.
Flax leaves symbolize family unity and the people next to them represent the extended family and friends.

The path of Kamehameha represents challenges (becoming smaller over time) and the spearheads are for the warrior who faces every challenge with strength and tenacity.

The row of birds symbolizes voyage, with one placed differently to symbolize individuality, with an octopus tentacle for tenacity.

The fish hook symbolizes prosperity and learning.
