Elements of Life2
Back piece healed
The ankh is the Egyptian symbol of life. Water, earth, fire and air sustain life which is why they are within the ankh. Each element flows into the other showing a circle of life, no beginning with end, no end with no beginning, etc. The phoenix represents rebirth, which to me also means overcoming life obstacles, tragedies, etc. The eye in the center represents me and the tears signify good, bad, sad, overjoyed, etc. moments in my life. As they hit the water they wash away and become memories of my life.
Designed in conjunction with tattoo artist Scott Hill of Tattoo Garage.

Very sweet ink! The best part of getting tattooed is the personal meaning behind each piece. Beautiful work and well done.
