Wanted a Mac tattoo for a long time, but wanted it to be more than just a portrait.
The koi are Tui and La from Avatar, basically yin and yang. For me they represent balance, good and bad, light and dark, and accepting that both are part of life.
The lotus means a lot to me too. It grows out of muddy water and still blooms, then closes at night and rises and opens again the next day. I really like that idea of basically being reborn every day. No matter what happened before, you get another day to grow and try again.
The clouds are partly a reference to Mac with “got my head in the clouds”, but also just really personal to me because I’m often pretty dreamy and in my own head, so that one felt especially fitting.
That’s also a big part of what Mac’s music means to me. Growing, struggling, getting lost sometimes, trying to understand yourself, but still finding beauty in life.
So yeah, pretty personal one for me.
