Day of the Dead Gypsy Rib Tattoo Design

This Is a side (rib) tattoo I designed for Rebecca Meade. The ship represents her journey through life. And the book and pencil on the back symbolize her life story being written. The white rose is her sons birth flower and the flax kite on the back and huia feathers in the hair represent her husband and sons heritage. Copyright www.samphillips.co.nz
