Connection, origin, and orientation
Some tattoos are more than just art on the skin—they are a piece of personal history. This is also true of Fabiola's tattoo, which not only impresses with its fine details, but also has a deeper meaning.
At the center of the motif is a tree growing on a rock. This image is inspired by the landscape of Montana, where part of Fabiola's family lives. The rock represents stability and a firm footing, while the tree symbolizes origin, growth, and the continuation of roots. Together, they remind us that despite all the changes in life, we can always fall back on a stable foundation.
Above the tree is a compass—a symbol to remind Fabiola to always find the right path and keep a clear goal in mind. It stands for orientation, determination, and the ability to consciously shape one's own path in life.
Another exciting detail is the section of a topographical map that is also part of the tattoo. It shows a place in Montana, thus bridging the gap between art and personal memory. In this way, a geographical connection is made to something very emotional: one's own roots.
Below the motif is the word “Roots.” It stands for family, solidarity, and deep roots. It is complemented by complex geometric shapes that represent the complexity and connectedness within the family—a network that remains strongly connected despite all individuality.
This tattoo combines nature, symbolism, and personal history into a harmonious whole. It is not only visually striking, but also a powerful expression of identity, heritage, and the values that are important to Fabiola.
