There’s no significance in the cherry blossom trees and bamboo. They’re only there for aesthetic purposes. The main part of the tattoo are the snakes. My tattoo is part of a traditional Chinese folk story. I don’t feel like elaborating what it means, but I can link you a quick in-an-nutshell explanation.

Watch this movie to get a general idea of what the tattoo means, if you’re too lazy to read. Remember, this movie is cinematic for entertainment purposes. Although it’s not completely accurate to the original traditional Chinese folk story, you’ll get the jist of it. It’s also a fun movie to watch, and I grew up watching this since I was a kid so I think it had a significant impact on my life.
