There is a mighty oak tree its trunk is like an immense wall it is the world tree or the axis mundi the oak expands in all directions rainbow coloured xylem and phloem travel up and down its form the tree gently over at its top and bottom to become a circle this circle spins around its own centre like a great winnowing fan the fan slices everything including into razor thin sheets of multi coloured sunlight that scatter in all directions the action of the undulating pulsing infinitely coloured fan creates a gentle cooling wind that spreads healing everywhere every infinitely small slice of wind from the fan feels like the flutter of a million birdwings or butterflies all pain is dissolved by the fragmentation the pleasure emanating from the tree ebbs and flows like the ocean s tide it waxes and wanes as though pulled by moon force the tattoo illustrates connections to nature to my ancestors and to my loved ones through the oak tattoo idea - made by Ink Studio AI
