This is probably the most famous if Princess Ukok's tattoos and for good reason. Not only was it the most complete but it was also the loveliest. It was the tattoo that led this series of work being produced.
As much as I loved it, tattoos are still seen by many as a divider in society. The mare tattoo itself was straightforward, simple, rustic...almost masculine in execution. I feel there is beauty in everything depending on the lens you use and I wanted the update the Mare to a more accessible, but still tattoo relevant, piece of work. She's still beautiful as well as being good for everyday use for everyone. She is definitely one of my favourites!
