Sacred Vine
A Tribute of Myth and Memory
This fine-line geometric tattoo is a heartfelt tribute to a lost sister, blending mythology and symbolism into an exquisite custom design. Created during a guest spot in Seattle, the tattoo integrates the imagery of Icarus falling, the mask of Dionysus, and the sacred vine cross of St. Nino, a symbol of faith and unity. A delicate rose represents the sister’s beauty and grace, while the Greek script “KAIROS” adds a philosophical touch, emphasizing the importance of seizing the moment. This intricate work showcases the artistry and deep meaning behind fine-line tattoos.

Bonus: The Moment Between Time
When Icarus soared too close to the sun, his story didn’t end in despair—it became a timeless lesson in ambition and human fragility. In this tattoo, the falling Icarus meets a modern blend of science and myth. Dionysus’ mask symbolizes both the revelry and tragedy of life, a nod to the unpredictable beauty of existence.
The sister’s rose blooms in defiance of loss, a beacon of love and memory. “KAIROS,” written in Greek script, serves as a reminder to seize fleeting moments, much like a butterfly alighting on a flower before flying away. The sacred vine cross, steeped in Georgian Christian tradition, weaves faith and family into the design, binding the past to the present.
This tattoo captures not just one story, but many—intersecting lives, memories, and symbols. Like architecture intertwines math and art, this design is a structure of sentiment, crafted with the precision of software and the soul of storytelling. Whether you're inspired by ancient myths, modern sciences, or the fantasy of Marvel and Star Wars, this tattoo speaks to universal themes of light, dark, and everything in between.
