In Japan, the crane (tsuru) and the tortoise (kame) represent longevity, wisdom and happiness.. The origin is in a Chinese legend, and it is also very present in cultures related to Buddhism and Shintoism.

Likewise, these two animals are shown in different shapes and sizes, and abound over the centuries in the symbology of various civilizations.together or separately. And although many of us do not know their symbolism, in a certain way we sense it when we look at them.

Guille had only one tattoo before making this imposing piece. A small black dragon on the upper left side of the back that we kept wrapped in mist so that it would not clash with the composition.

Y even if he had no more tattoos and did not know much about them, he is someone who is very sensitive and has a lot of knowledge of History, Art and Philosophy, and She knew how to choose something really beautiful and elegant, very much in keeping with her personality.
