Ouroboros + Tree of life/bonsai tree

meaning:
Ouroboros is a symbol found in many cultures, usually a dragon or snake eating its own tail. Whether its seen as the "perfect" creature or symbol of eternal life or the life cycle, its a powerful symbol fueled by my readings of Joseph Campbell.

The tree in the center can either be interpreted as the mythical tree of life, source of sustainance, or as a simple bonsai tree who's very care reflects the soul of the owner.

I also have this tattoo, and want to thank you for your beautiful design. Rob at King Street Tattoo, Newtown, Sydney, added more branches, but I love its simplicity. Pictures on my Facebook page: [link]
