Late last month, I met Brian on the 34th Street A platform and he shared this amazing tattoo:
The piece was relatively fresh, having been inked only a couple weeks before.
He explained that this tree represents the Tree of Life. He alluded to the roots that spread out, firmly symbolizing family.
Brian also explained that it was an investigation piece: he added a key, hanging from a branch. This symbolizes his desire to unlock the meaning of life.
What's doubly special about this tattoo is that it is also a marriage tattoo. Brian's wife has a similar tree on her right arm (Brian's is on the left), only with cherry blossoms instead of a key, and a baby in the design as well.
The couple are linked not only by their vows, but by their similar ma-tree-monial tattoos. Sorry, I couldn't help it.
The tattoo is by Kaz at Brooklyn Adorned. Work from Kaz has appeared previously on Tattoosday here. And this tag, links all previous Adorned work on the blog.
Thanks to Brian for sharing this amazing tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
