Vortex Vessel
Even When You’re Still—You’re Flying Through Space
This ongoing fine-line geometric tattoo sleeve was created at Ritual Tattoo in Berkeley, California. It’s the first of three sessions designed for a musician who was fascinated by the revelation that our solar system moves through space like a vortex at nearly 43,000 km/h. Even in stillness, we are in motion. This sleeve tells that story—starting from the wrist and spiraling upward, combining sacred geometry, musical elements, celestial bodies, time, and direction. Designed to read bottom to top, it symbolizes the evolution of matter into soul, guided by personal truth, and illuminated by cosmic forces beyond our understanding.

Bonus: The Musician Who Mapped the Sky
He didn’t believe in fate—until the night he saw the galaxy spiral through time like a score he’d never written. The Musician had always felt motion in silence, rhythms in stillness. When he learned that our solar system surges forward through space at 43,000 kilometers per hour, it clicked—he’d been composing the cosmos all along.
He etched his revelations into his arm. A Fibonacci spiral to honor sacred creation. Compass roses for the roads he’d ridden across California. A Sun of sacred geometry. Stars from constellations that had whispered to him. He charted a pulsar map—his home in the endless black.
At the top, a treble clef floated, eternal. Not a note on a staff, but a vibration in space. Every mark on his skin was music. And every motion—whether on a motorcycle or in a quiet room—was forward. He wasn’t just riding roads. He was riding the universe.
