Hi There,Here's the finished shoulder tattoo. Scanned and optimized.
I made some small changes in the upper shoulder, so the fill is a bit more interesting. The repeating shapes on the left side of the shoulder represent arrowheads and the maori curly shapes are called Koru or Fern.A little history for those who want to know more about the meaning of Koru:The koru is the Maori name given to the newborn, unfurling fern frond and symbolises new life, growth, strength and peace.
It is an integral symbol in Maori carving and tattoos.Regards, Mark
