This tattoo, for me and my client, represents family, futility, love, and mortality. My client’s daughter is named Raven, and it was a coincidence that I picked two ravens to represent the bond of this family and this marriage, the cherry blossoms to represent the fleetingness of life and beauty, and the skulls to represent the dark places in life and in our lives. I try to aim at a poetic display and a minimal delivery of information so that the viewer can read into it what they see fit.
