On White Obligatory É incrível como as coisas acontecem, esses dias vi uma foto de costas de um amigo aqui do Flickr e percebi que nunca tinha arriscado a pose. Mas faltava uma idéia, até que tudo foi vindo, aproveitei o título para para fazer referencia a uma da minhas musicas preferidas. Espero que gostem, ahh e obrigado especialmente os artistas pelos desenhos, em especial meu primo e ao Felipe mesmo que inconscientemente ajudou em alguma coisa shauhsuas 82 Layers! + 8 hours of work ! And some secrets! Enjoy the notes!.
Peony tattoo
This is something i've wanted to do for about the last decade or so. I know my parents wlll loathe it, but i had to anyway. I'm a big geek about symbolism in things, and this carries a lot of symbolism for me. The Peony is a flower of May. It stands for happiness, prosperity, love and affection. Our son will be born in May, this was a sort of acknowledgment of that. Common in Chinese symbology for a peony is as a positive influence on a couple. Red is a life giving color, which is why i picked red as the color. The peony in Japan also has a bit of an audacious or adventurous attitude, which i guess is appropriate for a 29-year old guy that's about to be a father getting a big tattoo. I do apologize to my parents for getting this, but i do not regret my decision. It is a piece of art that carries a lot of meaning for me..
Koi tattoo
This is the top side of the tattoo. It carries a lot of symbolism as well. The koi is filled with symbolism, which is why it's such a popular tattoo subject. Koi symbolize bravery, in that when a koi is caught, it apparently does not flop around like many other fish. A koi symbolizes aspiration towards betterment, and the overcoming of difficulties. A koi also is known for swimming upstream, and going against the flow. Black, the predominate color of my koi, symbolizes the father. That was the impetus behind this entire tattoo. For those of you who that have a tattoo, no explanation is necessary. My best friend said once that a tattoo, no matter what the subject matter, marks a place in time for the person getting it. I can't think of a better way to describe it. For those that do not have a tattoo, no explanation will ever make sense..
