The story behind the design
The samurai sits on the upper arm and represents discipline. The tiger occupies the forearm and expresses the more impulsive, courageous side. The idea was for both to be part of a single design.
The tattoo combines black-and-grey realism with red leaves and details. The red connects the different parts of the sleeve and, in the story of this piece, represents energy and change.
Near the wrist is a small temple. For the client, it represents a place of calm to return to after difficult times.
