This cover-up was created using a pair of traditional Okinawan Shisa, transforming the traces of the old tattoo and giving the piece a completely new meaning.
In Okinawan culture, Shisa symbolize protection, warding off evil, and good fortune.
One with its mouth open and the other closed, the pair complements each other — watching over your life and the journey ahead.
Cover the past. Carry the protection forward.
