This tattoo that covers the pec was prepared for Chris and it celebrates the birth of his second son, his roots, and the country where he lives now, with elements from Polynesian and Norse traditions blended together.

Representing your country at a world championship requires tenacity and dedication, so this is an important part of this tattoo as well.

The tree of life is central, with the Vegvisir symbol integrated within and around it, and we included a mata hoata in it for protection and a Marquesan cross for harmony and balance.
Both his sons are on its sides, with the name of his new born included as a maorigram.
Chasing birds symbolize support to the loved ones and the braid is for union (we paired it with the web of Wyrd).

The tiki and the all-seeing eye bring protection, and so do the ancestors guarding from above.

There are symbols representing important people in his life, like his father and wife, and there are symbols related to his life: strength and tenacity (spearheads, centipede, Kena, shark teeth) to face adversities (moray eel, row of flies, faatigipusa), freedom (the manta), and prosperity (bonito tail,coconut leaves).

As usual, you can find a colored legenda below showing the main elements within the tattoo:
