The turtle symbolizes family and longevity, and in this tattoo requested by Stefano it is mainly shaped by a T, from the name of his son, ending in a koru (birth, descent).
A sun surrounds the koru (eternity, joy).
The left flipper includes a fish hook for prosperity and the dot near the head represents the happy island, the fixed point always to go back to.
The back flippers are tiki hands supporting and protecting family.
