The last five years have been very tough. The loss of a father and a hard journey with miscarriages before my son Aksel was born in 2023. I wanted a tattoo to celebrate my son and his connection to four different countries by incorporating elements of plants from each of those countries. Reinrose from Norway, Linnea from Sweden, Buckthorn from Denmark and Saffron flower from Iran. Now when I see the tattoo I think about my son, as well as all the people (lost and living) connected to the plants. I really like the incorporation of the roots, for me a symbol of personal growth during hard times and passage of time and life. Kristine
