My 2nd tattoo. Started with just the butterflies and grew from there. Designed by my wife and I.
The character spirit/soul grows into a cherry tree. The cherry blossoms fall to the ground, symbolizing how fragile life and the human soul both are. Butterflies and moths are considered in the Asian culture to be carriers of the soul. The tiny koi in the river is reflected in the full back piece I am working on.
Although life is short, it is a sweet and beautiful thing, much like the cherry blossom.
Oi Cpt m you need to stop hating! You aint even got no ink yourself! Go be sad some place else! Hey dude I think all your ink is pretty cool oh and your wifes koi is awesome too!
Ignore capt m below me...he's one of those sad small people that just come here to put everybody down, jealousy is a curse. Nice work man it looks very pretty as a whole.
