Tsetso was chosen to be the best man at his closest friend's wedding, and he decided to celebrate this in a Polynesian tattoo for his pec.
The main subjects are the couple, supported by Tsetso, and protection.
Protection comes from the warrior, the manaia (a guardian angel), and the tiki (a divinity).
The warrior helps the couple giving them stability through every change (the mountains below the waves) and joy for their union (the sun and the checkered pattern next to the couple).
The two chasing birds above the couple symbolize support always granted to the dear ones and the row of spearheads symbolizes strength and determination in facing any challenge (the path of Kamehameha) that leads to success, while shark teeth are for adaptability and protection.
The row of birds and braid symbolize this voyage together and fish prosperity.
Stepping stones represent all the achievements and things learnt.
The manta is a symbol of beauty and freedom, with a Marquesan cross in it for harmony and balance, while the lizard is a symbol of good luck and health.
