Water World

Rebekka and I recently finished up her second sleeve. The first (comprised of floral, geometric elements, and an anatomical heart) was completed 5 years ago in 2019. The most recent was completed over the course of a five months starting in late 2023.

The tattoo on her inner arm depicts the figure of Amphitrite from Greek mythology; the Goddess of the Sea and Marine life as well as the feminine balancing force to her husband Poseidon. The outer arm depicts a clipper ship being attacked by the mythic Kraken. The sea is both calm and tranquil; it is also both turbulent and chaotic.

It's all about balance.
