Haida Native American Woodpecker Tattoo with Tribal Design plumeria that form a chain-mail effect

that form a chain-mail effect as a bracelet

When a bold color is added in the negative space

these dueling dragons twist and turn to make an armband that fully encompasses the arm

The design is a mandala of four intertwined hearts

Haida Native American Woodpecker Tattoo with Tribal Design plumeria that form a chain-mail effectA Chumash Indian myth tells that the world was once devastated by a great deluge, and every living thing drowned in the flood. But the woodpecker saved himself by climbing to the top of the world's tallest tree, where he ate acorns and stayed alive. This cheerful fellow is drawn in the style of the NorthWest Coast Haida Indians, and perched on his symbolic tree.
