Jaguar

This tattoo explores the relationship between identity, heritage, and belonging. Designed for a client with ties to both Brazil and Ireland, the work combines a jaguar with Irish wildflowers, symbolizing the coexistence of two places that have shaped her life. Long regarded as one of Brazil's most iconic and powerful animals, the jaguar serves as both guardian and emblem of strength. Surrounding the portrait are patterns inspired by the visual traditions of Indigenous Brazilian cultures, carefully integrated alongside botanical elements to create a composition that honors Camila’s own Brazilian roots as well as the client's personal story. Blending hyperrealistic wildlife with symbolic ornamentation, the piece bridges realism and tradition, celebrating the connection between landscape and identity. Rich color, intricate detail, and expressive movement transform the tattoo into more than a portrait of an animal, into a reflection of home in all its forms. By Camila Conti.
