I got this nautilus shell because it is one of the best examples of the fibonacci spiral in nature, and also because 20000 leagues under the sea is one of my favorite books a read as a child. This was done by Mark Williams at Holeshot Tattoo in Amherst MA
I bought a new tattoo for myself for graduating this Saturday. Two degrees and five years. It’s the Fool.
“The Fool is the spirit in search of experience. He represents the mystical cleverness bereft of reason within us, the childlike ability to tune into the inner workings of the world. The sun shining behind him represents the divine nature of the Fool’s wisdom and exuberance, holy madness or ‘crazy wisdom’. On his back are all the possessions he might need. In his hand there is a flower, showing his appreciation of beauty. He is frequently accompanied by a dog, sometimes seen as his animal desires, sometimes as the call of the “real world”, nipping at his heels and distracting him. He is seemingly unconcerned that he is standing on a precipice, apparently about to step off.”
