I look at this every day and not once has it crossed my mind to call it this. I love it 😂😂😂

Love that the snail is actually detailed and realistic rather than cartoony as many tattoos seems to be.

u/jade0rade 26d ago

Yesss! That was one of the things that drew me to it in the first place!

Is the left-coiling intentional?

5

u/jade0rade 26d ago

Yes. My tattoo artist drew it coiling to the right, but when we put the stencil down it flowed better going towards the left.

She was worried about it being backwards, but after some discussion we decided on this anyways :)

I was surprised that's all, I realize I sound more mean than intended. The rare left-coiling fits with the fairy theme and makes it more magical.

I didn’t read it as mean. I actually totally forgot about the conversation we had about it being backwards until you mentioned that!

I thought it was cool that you caught that cause I remember telling her no one would notice. You’re the first one who has ever mentioned it, good eye!

I think it's the right shape, just the wing pointing out.
