Snakes as Symbols of Transformation: Phenomenal Work of Korean Tattoo Artist Zihee

There are those who will shudder at the thought of snakes, leave alone permanently tattooing a snake onto the skin! But, fact is that snakes are legendary creatures, subject of many myths, and symbolic of rebirth, transformation, fertility, healing and eternity – all appropriate themes for body art.

But, who says snakes have to be creepy looking? Zihee, a celebrated tattoo artist from Seoul, has created exquisite tattoo art based on snakes – they are colorful, gentle, pleasing to the eye and, most importantly, life-affirming, as she cleverly combines nature’s beauty and snakes.
