Whale of Tranquility: Cosmic Waves

Create a tattoo design for the side of the chest featuring a stylized whale gracefully swimming amidst swirling waves and twinkling stars. The whale should be depicted in a semi-abstract, flowing style, emphasizing its majestic curves and fluidity. Incorporate intricate wave patterns that wrap around the contours of the chest, blending seamlessly into the starry background. The overall artistic style should lean towards a blend of traditional and modern, with bold outlines and soft shading to enhance depth. Opt for a color palette of deep blues and aquamarines, accented with shimmering whites and subtle golds for the stars. The tattoo should span approximately 8 to 10 inches in height, making a striking statement without overwhelming the body. Infuse the design with cultural symbolism, referencing oceanic mythology and the whale as a symbol of strength and freedom. The overall mood should evoke a sense of tranquility and wonder, celebrating the beauty of the ocean and the cosmos.
