The Maiden, the Mother, and the Crone: A Tattoo for Every Version of You
Some tattoos are decorative.
Others are devotional.
This flash piece was created for the latter.
Inspired by pagan and Wiccan ideologies, this design depicts the Maiden, Mother, and Crone — three archetypes that represent the full cycle of life, selfhood, and becoming. They are not stages you move through once and leave behind. They are energies you return to again and again, sometimes all at once.
Wrapped throughout the design are moonflowers, a night-blooming symbol of intuition, transformation, and beauty that unfolds in darkness. Together, these elements form a piece meant for someone who understands that softness can coexist with power, and that growth is rarely linear.
The Meaning Behind the Archetypes
The Maiden represents curiosity, beginnings, desire, and becoming. She is the version of you that is learning who she is — or reclaiming that curiosity later in life.
The Mother embodies creation, care, protection, and responsibility. She is not limited to literal motherhood, but instead reflects the part of you that nurtures ideas, people, communities, and yourself.
The Crone holds wisdom, endings, boundaries, and deep knowing. She honors experience, rest, and the right to take up space without apology.
This tattoo is for those who have lived many lives within one body — and who want to honor all of them.
Why Moonflowers?
Moonflowers bloom at night. They don’t ask for sunlight to be beautiful.
In folklore and symbolism, moonflowers are associated with intuition, dreams, protection, and spiritual awakening. They are often linked to the moon’s cycles — waxing, waning, disappearing, and returning — much like the rhythms we experience in our own lives.
In this piece, the moonflowers wrap around the Maiden, Mother, and Crone as a reminder that growth often happens quietly, in the dark, and on your own timeline.
A One-of-a-Kind Tattoo
This flash design is non-repeatable. Once it’s claimed and tattooed, it will never be recreated in the same form.
Normally, a tattoo of this scale and detail would range between $1500–$1800 based on an hourly rate. This piece is offered as flash to invite the right person — someone who feels emotionally connected to the imagery — to step forward.
While the design itself will remain intact, the color palette is fully customizable. Whether you’re drawn to muted earth tones, soft florals, dramatic contrasts, or celestial hues, we’ll work together to make the piece feel deeply personal to you.
Who This Tattoo Is For
This tattoo may be right for you if:
You’re drawn to mythology, folklore, and symbolic storytelling
You resonate with pagan or witchy imagery rooted in nature and cycles
You’re queer, femme, or simply someone who values softness and strength equally
You want a tattoo that marks growth, transition, or self-acceptance
You’re looking for a large, intentional piece that feels like a ritual, not an impulse
This is not a trend piece. It’s a marker. A mirror. A reminder.
