Spiral Tattoo Photo #20969

The spiral appears in Neolithic stone carvings, Celtic manuscripts, and Polynesian tapa cloth-always representing cycles, growth, and the journey from center to edge. As a tattoo the spiral carries mathematical elegance and deep cultural roots in a compact geometric form.
