You could choose the petroglyph of what looks like the warrior with a rainbow over his head. The rainbow warriors were mythic fighters with special mana that made them unbeatable. You could go with the niho mano, or shark tooth. It is the basic triangle of Hawaiian tattoo design. The shark is a symbol of power, and the niho mano has become a symbol today to show mana.
