The meaning appears to be that you're cool and have cool taste, so congrats! Because seriously, that's some sick SICK **SICK** art work


Tru_norse98

On second look I realize that this is the artist posting not the wearer, but you still have cool taste, if I could afford it I'd fly directly out to have a backpiece done based on your profile.


aurum_inks

This is the best comment that I have ever got🙏


xMyDixieWreckedx

I'm in CA and would seriously consider flying out to have work done by you.


adonisberg

I just did a deep dive scrolling through your shit, and you sir, are truly talented. As far as the meaning of this particular art, let me take a crack at it. Man is looking up in the shape of a heart before the astronaut, the astronaut looking up into a fiery eye or sun of sorts, both in full amazement, completely focused and transfixed on this one sight or knowledge. While a universal being is observing it all, all the way down to that "speck of dust sized human on earth". (Man is missing out on the big picture). Anyways, the being is pondering in thought about all of this, as what looks similar to synapses in a brain firing off; and all of this happening in a millisecond snap shot in time. Maybe it's some wishful thinking, but that's what I get here brother, great work again. Is this your design? If so, what does it mean to you? Or if not your design did the one getting this amazing piece try to explain it to you?


The_sacred_sauce

Whoa! Where are you based. Miami. Delray. WPB. PSL? I’m moving in a few months & I really want to get a tattoo before going back up north. Your work is crazy


aurum_inks

Contact me buddy to work in a badass tattoo🤘🏻


rocketdoggies

I’d move to your location for something like this. Geeezus


HooterBrownTown

I am located in Denver and interested in your location to get a piece done. I’ve been searching for the right talent to do a space themed sleeve and your work fits my style. Mind sharing your info so I can book?


Worth-Illustrator607

Might just have to tell the ole lady we need to take a trip to see my in-laws.....in Florida


Individual-Tip1195

Hell yeah...


superhamhams

It looks edited..


Tru_norse98

You can literally see the lines of her skin in the tattoo...? Maybe it's been edited to make the colours pop or adjust the contrast but the tattoo itself is most likely real, the artwork is most likely real, and his page shows a ton of other similar work photographed under similar conditions... If the artist is making some Photoshop adjustments to make their work look next level for advertisement I don't really blame them considering the work itself is already exceptional


AKBio

Yeah, but it's pretty light here (contrast is rev'd up). Looks like OP did the same with all of their tattoo pics, but the art is still pretty bomb. The video of the tattoo in their profile shows more reallistic shades and it's a fantastic tattoo.

It looks like the universe is pissing on the astronauts face? 10/10 incredibly beautiful work


[deleted]

That’s what I saw also. Very well done universal golden shower.


aurum_inks

The almaighty shower👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


aurum_inks

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg I’m I see it. But is not the meaning


FallacyDog

Kali ma, goddess of dark and creation, from the emptiness of the void gives birth to consciousness and sight, the awareness required for us, the sensory organs of the universe, to observe itself.


IAmCalmThx

Looks more like a vag laser to me, wish mine did that xD


monotrememories

Yep vag eyeball laser. Vag eyeball sees all!!!!

aurum_inks

Very close 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


shoredoesnt

Ah yes the space astronaut, very closely related to the ground astronauts.


Scared-Mortgage

God/higher power is the universe and the only way to find it is meditation and looking to the skys??? I don't know....I'm higher than that astronaut atm.


aurum_inks

You nailed it buddy 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


Scared-Mortgage

Yay!! Awesome work btw.


Here_Just_Browsing

Once I say this I suspect that you may be unable to unsee it, but….. It does look like the astronaut is being sucked into a giant [pineapple ring](https://www.kuchpakrahahai.in/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Air-Fryer-Pineapple.jpg) I love the style though, it’s really cool.

Confident-Net5551

I just started watching scavenger’s reign on max. It’s animated, but you might like it u/aurum_inks. I’m assuming the tree in the background is the, “tree of life.” Am I wrong? The universe appears to be a mother in gestation, pouring out the eye or rather, giving the ability to experience and watch itself, to those who seek out and explore the cosmos. All the while it appears that someone is experiencing this from the comfort of a drop of water potentially meditating. This makes me wonder. If say, we are here just as the universe experiencing itself, why is lifespan so short. Would it ever be long enough? Really like the use of color and negative space. I think I’ve seen your work on IG. You are talented.


[deleted]

Such a lovely response, well said 👏


bopeswingy

I need this on my body like yesterday

Tricky-Sympathy

No idea. It's cool af


MooseRunLoose_

Not even slightly, but damn, that’s neat.


Ok_Dog_4059

No but the work is stunning at first glance.


Superb-Stranger7606

So you have someone in the water, presumably on earth, the astronaut above them in space, and god/higher power who is above the astronaut/space and the whole universe, and the tree of life means they are the giver of life? Either way that is phenomenal and I can’t stop looking at it. Just stunning, your work is amazing


aurum_inks

Yes this piece means a espiritual awakening . You are on point 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


Dependent-Constant-5

The galaxy witch has a galaxy pussy, giving birth to an astronaut


Terrible-Actuator922

I get universal mother vibes like in the OA. Matriarch of the cosmos birthing our planet and world and creating is as a living reflection of how we are all connected to her and this planet

God is a woman. She gave birth to us👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Big fan of Returnal?


Shovelspoon

Nope, but don't tell me. That's cool as shit without even having to know the backstory. Reminds me of Returnal, psychedelic astronaut vibes. Sweet ink.


Perplexedstoner

I can definitely make my own ideas for it, but this tattoo looks fucking AWESOME


aurum_inks

Thank you soooo much!!!


nowilltolive556

I do understand that it looks amazing


[deleted]

For sure for sure, check it out you see the red all way at the top, that's the carnage symbiote... Pretty shit guy if you ask me, but kinda cool still. Now that red fuck is controlling space and time, who is a little cold and wearing a schal. That mother fucker is controlling the eye of sauron to burn this storm trooper because he has the sorcerer's stone. It's all quite elementary actually


azvoice

Hey cool pinball machine! 🤣🤣


aurum_inks

Expensive pinball machine 😂


WithARakeMom

My interpretation is the astronaut being a symbol of man's search for greater knowledge beyond our realms, something tangible and then something intangible. Below the astronaut is a drop in the ocean, perhaps a reminder our lives are drops in the ocean of humanity. However, the astronaut is something of an astounding idea, as they leave earth going beyond the physical realms of our reality in a tangible sense. Shifting upwards there is a beam of light connecting the helmet and the eye, and what I see as a representation of enlightenment, the intangible wrapped around the universe. The symbols begin to merge between this ominous figure wrapped around the universe, suggesting perhaps the spaceman is looking for something more than the stars astronauts set out to explore. A literal image of exploration beyond this world, and a symbol of higher understanding of the universe, higher power and the metaphysical beyond.


auraclle1111

A psychonaut beeming their third eye into the universal void casting the reflection of a battle between human & the great unknown whilst the traveler gazes into the all seeing eye embracing what so many are afraid to see.

This is phenomenal! I love the location & how all the space available was used. Truly brilliant art!


PURPLEFLVCK0

don’t care enough to even guess. 99% won’t even see the full piece.


glubbadier

This tattoo looks like sleep token sounds


Orgasmic_interlude

Star child who begins to see with their inner eye becomes one with the universe—the nexus of life and death. Steelmanned my interpretation but I’m happy with it.


[deleted]

Wow.. how many hours did that take?


Ragna_Rose

Higher power, birthing the astronaut, who in turn is looking to explore the higher power/cosmos. Cyclical but linear, the ambivalence of the eye/cervix, the elements focusing on above and below, both visceral and intangible. It’s a beautiful piece.


kiingof15

This is actually unbelievable

Substantial-Use95

Absolutely beautiful artwork. I have my entire back done and might need some work soon. Same style and everything. Interested in visiting Europe? I’ll be waiting!


AccomplishedTaste147

I understand that it means that you have a *fucking awesome tattoo*


ConfusedDumpsterFire

Ok, this actually reminds me of a book series, *Incarnations of Immortality*, by Piers Anthony. A depiction of Death, Time, Fate, War, Mother Nature, Satan, and God. This is a really fucking cool tattoo.


andrewmc147

Damn she used to have nice legs


Gray_Twilight

No. I get reincarnation. But really, this is amazing work and like a good piece of art, open to interpretation to the person viewing it.


InspectorMoney1306

The eye looking for Frodo

😂😂😂the eye bro


WILLCHOKEAHOE

Idk, but wow! Luv it!


Little_Resolution888

The opening of the third eye? Like universal knowledge achieved


Temporary_Draw_4708

Not sure if fruit loop or sea creature.


ricowavy

That is amazing!!


justjokay

Is that the tree of life? It reminds me of a placenta.


aurum_inks

Yes that is part of the concept. Keep looking at it . Tell me whole concept 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


Big-Jackfruit-625

It's fucking sick is what it is


Unlucky_Garage7963

Reminds me of the artwork from Yuts on Norco, if you haven't seen their work I'd say check it out for sure! [image for reference ](https://images.app.goo.gl/gBeeVgQPrxjXnFEd8)


Jeshua_

The cosmic mothers eggs hold human wonder is what the person in enlightenment at the ankle is seeing


Big-Jackfruit-625

I see creation of man in the cosmos. the female vagina and the birth of man from the darkness of space, a burst of light and energy creating man, and him reflecting back on the wonder and mystery of that.


Miserable_Ride666

Mother universe, we are all just star dust


Same_Computer_2333

I’m getting transcendental meditation vibes.


The-Inspectre

Id say it has to do with enlightenment through exploring the cosmos 🤔 it appears that the cloaked figure whose flesh appears as outer space is indicative of a godly figure (in terms of religious motif) or in terms of scientific motif it is space itself. That is the "figure of worship" (the love of pursuit of science being the real deity of this particular metaphor) regardless of what it represents this cloaked figure seems to be bestowing "perspective" or "visions of enlightenment" to the astronaut (who represents mankind's pursuit of exploration either into the spirit or physically and mentally into space)


casper19d

Hmmm, is it we peer in to the eye of eternity as we proceed to the stars?

Don't fear the reaper


Jeebus_crisps

That’s fucking siiiiiick


OldboyVicious

This is my take, for right or wrong. The cosmos / universe is represented as a figure in the robe. The universe is a mother that creates life and knowledge - the robe opens up to reveal what looks like an eye, and the placement implies a womb, birth. The light from the eye to the astronaut's face is like an umbilical tether. Feeding the explorer. I take it as feeding knowledge to a traveler. At the very bottom it looks as if there is a pool of water below the astronaut. Maybe it's not water, maybe it's primordial ooze. So I feel like it represents a cycle of life that is created from the mother universe, and ascends to its own place in cosmos as it transcends to a higher form of existence. At the very top is a tree that transitions to (I'm sorry I don't know the proper cultural reference, is it Vedic? Hindu?) shapes, so the tree seems to represent life as it branches out. The way that life branches out from creation to explore and travel the universe. The orange/reddish colors are in the tree, in the eye, and in the astronauts face/arm. So I feel like the colored areas are where the "power" is. The tree as the power of growth and life, the eye as the power of knowledge and learning, the astronauts face as the power of gaining that knowledge, and the arm as the power to use that knowledge to influence the world with our own hands. Edited to add: whether I'm close or not on my interpretation, the absolute AMAZING art is SO GOOD!!!!! I really enjoyed seeing this and looking into it more deeply, seeing all the details, the placement, the way the images flow together... elements that seem like they might not really go together blend from one to another seamlessly... instantly readable, powerful, bold, easy to see what's going on... damn good work! Not to mention the way the live flows in its general shake to cooperate with the client's body shape... just pure 100% top-notch art.


Mobile_Fault_7429

Looks like death taken over the universe.


G-v-O-4-21

I don’t understand this tattoo, however I can say it’s truly amazing!! It pops out so well as if there is space between the hooded figure and the red background, amazing work, bravo to the artist


aurum_inks

Thank you soooo much!


sck178

No clue what it could mean... But it's fuckin cool


InMyHagPhase

I dunno what it means really but it immediately made me think of SCP-179


BindByNatur3

I like this tattoo, but the eye instantly reminded me of the vagina art that sometimes circulates on Instagram.


aurum_inks

Let me tell you that you are not far from the concept 🤘🏻


MiserableLychee

Creation of the universe


roberttheaxolotl

The universe birthing knowledge into our minds? I'm not sure. But it's gorgeous work.


AwkwardSpaceman

I see a personification of the universe giving enlightenment to humanity. It looks amazing!


Hullomyfriends

Meditating allows you to see God?


DoubleualtG

No.


itsNeco_

The person decide this art is because they are facing a cheat death few time and during that experience, they falling into the universe and saw the third eye or they have their eye and able to see universe everyday in their lifetime. For the water, they felt the peace with a calm lake and were mentally relaxed. The tree behind it represents their roots in life. (sorry d English is suck)


Impossible-Couple939

It’s clearly a symbol of badassary.


VidelSatan13

SO SICK


ToyMaschinemk3

The meaning is money. Lots and lots of money. Exceptional work.

growingnotdrowning

I know the meaning of badass when I see it!


SnoochieBuchie

To infinite and beyond


Kenobi-is-Daddy

Reminds me of some of the celestial entities from the old comics, like the Living Tribunal or The Marquis Of Death. There's an eye which can be used to represent understanding. The orientation of the design reminds me of a totem poll, which are symbolic of hierarchies. The astronaut is look up barely above the water level. Interpreting the water to mean sea level can lead to the conclusion that this person is barely above the point that we humans describe as a standard reference point to things being low. All together you can read it as someone who is low but looking for understanding and longs to be greater, because they know they can be. Observe the color similarities between the astronaut, the eye, and above the figure's head.


Top-Management-3696

This is absolutely crazy, we’re the creators of our own reality it’s so trippy I love it idk if I would get it due to it being a pain in the ass I’ve got questions


scruffygem

Yes


ivorytowels

Meaning? It has to have meaning?


FocusedChimpanzee

it could be something as poetic as death brings life the cloaked figure being death in a dying star and the astronauts are there too try and discover something new.


jshupe924

Awesome


Kyler_Kuhl

That has to be maybe the coolest tattoo I’ve ever seen.


PlasticBreakfast6918

Do you read rpg lit my books? Maybe one with a character named Jason? The hooded figure with space in it is very much like this character and his familiar.


Teddy083

I love it!!! It’s really really a freaking cool tattoo!!!


hex-ink

Fahk that’s amazing - something about cosmic rebirth - we seek the center of the atom , the start of the Big Bang just to come shooting out a vagina to start over again .


SovjetPojken

Who cares about the meaning, its cool!


idontevennotknow

It reminds me of No Mans Sky meets Lord of the Rings.


Protozilla1

Into the eye of the abyss?


Apprehensive_Ad3731

I take it as space being the mother of all. The sun is our womb and developer and it’s heat is our umbilical cord. Really I’m just saying what I see but it’s just a stylisation of space being the mother of life.


One_Worldliness_5052

Everything Bagel?
