L'Orca's First Tattoo

The Killer Whale: the holy creature, the traveler and the guardian.

My friend Richard helped me to find a Haida (Native American Tribe) beautiful painting of a Killer Whale. The painting represents “birth”. The tattoo is my way to thank Vancouver, BC for making me reborn when I moved there in year 2000.

I chose not to complete the painting on my calf so to tattoo the baby orca to a later time when I will have my first baby. Sweet thought, is not it?

Riccardo,

You may have left Vancouver, but we know that your heart remains here. It was fantastic having you come back for a visit.....we miss you already.

We got the pictures of your tattoo and I must say that it is a
beautiful
piece of art. The sentiment of saving the baby whale for your first
born is lovely. Will that be soon???
