This Polynesian tattoo for the calf slightly extends to the sides below the knee to recall a spearhead shape, a symbol of the warrior, and it was prepared for Nicolas.
The upper parts are two tiki remaining on the sides of the turtle and knee for enhanced protection, while the mere below the turtle is a chiefly symbol that represents respect, loyalty, and leadership, and it symbolizes the values that he is teaching to his daughter.
Flax leaves are at the base, showing the fundamental importance of family, and the turtle on top ties everything together with the couple and their daughter on the shell within braids for union (the star marks its importance).
The path of Kamehameha (a path full of challenges) is next to the lizard (health), where the flight of the albatross represents a long voyage that leads to joy and success (the two suns around the turtle).
The shark and octopus tentacles on the other side symbolize strength and adaptability, and the chasing birds support always granted to the loved ones.
Fish and fish hooks are for prosperity.
