The lion is the centre of attraction. It shows my "roots" as well as my personality. It shows my "roots" because my middle name which is Singh means lion or sher in punjabi. It shows my personality because I'm bold, brave, intelligent and also loyal. It shows intelligence because the king of the jungle cannot be dumb, shows loyalty because a lion has its obligations which it fulfills. The lions eyes are a lime green because it's my moms favourite colour.
The two flowers are Lilies because that's the birth flower of my sister. It's the Lilly of the valley but I thought the Lilly would look nicer. There's only two because there's only my sister and I in our family of four. The colour of my flower is a darker green because that's my favourite colour.
The saying which is at the top and bottom of my lion is from our holy book or as we call it the "Guru Granth Sahib Ji". The saying itself means "Without fear" which is at the top of the lion and "Without hate" at the bottom of the lion. In punjabi we would say "Nirbhau,Nirvair". I chose this line because it's what I live by. Do anything without fear without hate. It's also a reason why I'm always happy because I don't like taking time out of my life to hate, just not worth it.
The drawing isn't as good but if I get it in the future that's what my tattoo artist will be drawing that. It'll look way better!

I love the detail and thought you put into it also how you connected your sister! And you drew that? That's amazing, keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI like how you represented so many different things in a simple tattoo. Its good that you stay close to your root. A lot of people have become very modern living in Canada. Good drawing!
