Astral Lineage
From Roots to Orbit
Every mission begins long before liftoff.
Astral Lineage was completed during a full day session in Albuquerque, New Mexico at Happy Tattoo. The composition reads vertically from bottom to top, mapping a progression of evolution rather than a collection of symbols.
At the base, a tree grows from a double helix trunk. Biology becomes foundation. Identity becomes structure. Roots anchor the body before the mind looks upward.
Above that, the astronaut drifts beside an Apollo-era spacecraft. Exploration is not separate from origin. It is a continuation of it. The DNA that built the tree becomes the courage that leaves the atmosphere.
Constellations surround the figure, not randomly scattered but intentionally connected. A single star joining a constellation represents something larger than individual ambition. It represents unity. Teamwork. Collective intelligence. Human beings aligned toward a shared horizon.
At the top, sacred geometry stabilizes the entire composition. Order governs expansion. Precision guides transcendence.
This is not a space tattoo. It is a lineage tattoo. Biology evolving into consciousness. Consciousness evolving into exploration.

The Story Behind the Design
The structure is intentionally vertical to create narrative motion.
The tree at the base anchors weight visually and conceptually. The DNA helix trunk establishes biological origin. The roots spread outward to create grounding tension against the upward drift of the astronaut.
The midsection opens into orbital movement. The Apollo spacecraft is angled to create directional momentum. The astronaut floats slightly offset, reinforcing forward trajectory. Fine dotwork constellations create spatial breathing room without overcrowding.
The moon and planetary bodies are balanced asymmetrically to avoid central heaviness. Negative space is preserved so the composition does not collapse into density.
The sacred geometric crown stabilizes the entire structure. It functions as architectural closure. It brings mathematical order to biological chaos.
Bottom: origin.
Middle: exploration.
Top: structure and transcendence.
The reading direction is deliberate. The story moves upward.
Your Lineage, Rewritten
This structure can adapt to different personal evolutions. The astronaut may represent career, risk, reinvention, or legacy. The DNA tree can shift species or seasonal symbolism. Constellations can reflect specific dates, coordinates, or shared experiences.
The geometric crown can be reconfigured to align with different sacred ratios or philosophical systems.
The framework remains disciplined. The symbolism becomes yours.
Begin Your Ascent
If this piece resonates with your own evolution, start your process through the START HERE form.
Every project begins with understanding placement, scale, and your personal narrative. From there, the structure is built intentionally around you.
This is not decoration. It is alignment.
Astral Lineage — a full day fine line geometric thigh tattoo completed in Albuquerque, New Mexico at Happy Tattoo. This piece merges sacred geometry, space exploration, and a DNA-rooted tree of life to symbolize evolution, unity, and human ascent.

Bonus: The Helix Between Worlds
Every mission begins long before liftoff.
It begins in silence, in the twisting code of inheritance. A helix turns within darkness, carrying memory forward without applause. From that code rises a tree. Its roots grip downward with intention. Its branches divide between fullness and restraint, embodying both expansion and survival.
Above it, a figure drifts into orbit. Not escaping origin, but extending it.
A rocket arcs forward with engineered discipline. Planets rotate in patient geometry. A single star joins a constellation, becoming part of something larger without losing itself.
Structure becomes exploration.
The ascent is not chaotic. It is calculated. The helix informs the tree. The tree supports the astronaut. The astronaut aligns with the constellation. The constellation is framed by geometry.
Individual effort transforms into collective direction. Unity creates navigation. Ambition requires architecture.
And when the astronaut moves forward, he does not abandon the root.
He carries it with him.
