Ramzi, tattoo by Efraima, Tahiti

Ramzi tattooed by Efraima, Tahiti
Studio Address: Papeete Market.
Date of Tattoo: July 2008
How Long it Took: back : 7 hours, bracelet : 3 hours

Back : This tatoo is a mix from different cultures (the dragon is from Asian Mythology, its body is filled with Marquesian signs and its hold 3 European symbols and a stylised Tahitian Tiare flower). It symbolises my syncretism and my feeling to belong to human kind before my ethnic origins. Then, all the symbols represent a part of my personality and my history : a lyra because I am fond of music, a lightening fire (symbol of science and knowledge), an apple (tentation fruit and evidence of epicurism) and a Tahitian tiare indicated that the tatoo was made during my trip in Polynesia. The whole thing is very nice thanks to the skill of Efraima.

Bracelet : this Marquesian style tatoo bracelet consists in 3 stylised dolphins in a row. For me, dolphins are ocean protectors and perfectly echo my protecting and empathic instinct. Here also, I am really happy and feel honored that the job was done by Efraima!
