Snake Tattoos on Vancouver Island
Custom Illustrative Serpent Tattoos Designed with Meaning & Movement
Snake tattoos have a way of pulling you in with their fluid soft movements and detailed scales. They are powerful symbols and can hold so much personality in they way they fold over themselves but also perched ready to strike. On Vancouver Island where the forests twist and the rivers dig into the soil like serpents makes me feel like we can see snakes in a lot of the world we lie in. People choose snakes for their meaning like:
-
Transformation & rebirth
-
Protection & Intuition
-
Cycle of life & personal growth
-
Mystery, wisdom and the ability to shed what no longer fits
The story is yours and the snake can help represent a chapter of it. Every serpent design is customized to flow with the natural lines of your arm, ribs, spine, or thigh so it feels like its always belonged there.

My process is collaborative and rooted in listening to you and your needs so every design feels personal.
