Soul Tether
Suspended in Balance
This unique tattoo, created during a guest session in San Francisco, illustrates a striking moment of suspension. The man hangs from a rope tied to a heart, symbolizing our tenuous grip on life’s emotional core. A smaller brain nearby and the word “proportion” highlight the delicate balance between feeling and thought. The design’s fine lines and geometric elements bring precision to this concept, making it both thought-provoking and visually captivating.

Bonus: Hanging by a Heartstring
In the moments when we feel most vulnerable, it often seems as if we’re hanging by a thread—caught between holding on and letting go. This tattoo, “Soul Tether,” captures that sensation in ink. The man, dangling below a heart, reflects the tension of clinging to the things we cherish most, even when they seem just out of reach.
Inspired by the symbolism in Star Wars’ mystical Force, where characters grapple with inner struggles, and the resilience of Marvel’s heroes who hold on against all odds, this piece resonates with anyone who has ever felt suspended in life. The geometric accents add structure to the composition, much like an architectural blueprint that keeps us grounded amid the chaos. It speaks to those with a scientific mind and a poetic heart—people who understand the balance between thought and emotion. In the delicate dance of life, we’re all “hanging there,” holding fast to our own tether.
