Island Tattoo Meaning

Self-containment, sovereignty, isolation, and a sea-guarded refuge.

The Island is the sovereign refuge ringed by the sea — the self-contained world set apart by water, complete and defended on its own ground. To carry the Island is to carry self-containment, sovereignty, isolation, and a sea-guarded refuge — the whole, self-sufficient place that stands apart, governed by itself and guarded by the surrounding sea.
