SNAKE – a tattoo for the wild
the snake, that rascal, has been described to us since biblical times as the traitor
the tempter, that scoundrel who tries to trick you
the snake’s venom can be poisonous or even deadly, but taken in small doses, it becomes medicine instead, a powerful drug that cures all ills
when the snake gets tired, it sheds its skin, changes its life, starts anew, changes its outfit, takes off the old rags, and puts on a brand-new tuxedo, signed by Gucci
the symbolism of the snake is linked to the selfish one who thinks of himself, of his life alone, for his own purposes, with no one else beside him
it is that scoundrel who changes the game who asks you if you want a new card, who gives you another chance
then you have to understand if the new opportunity is a trick or not, like Adam and Eve’s apple
but it is also the one who can save your life with a drop of venom, giving you a new skin, a new world, another chance
it symbolizes absurd, extreme, wild lives, but living ones, it is a symbol of the protection that madness can give you
if you ask Alda Merini, Syd Barrett, or Elon Musk… they will probably love it, but it’s not for everyone
it’s for the few who accept a wild life happy, bold, on the edge, and they live it as heroes
with love, but always irreverent
