I've been tossing up the idea of getting a tattoo, but never really knew what. i didn't want one of those tribal tattoos because they just look old, but i liked the idea of a pattern. i did a little research and this is what i've come up with

All of these designs have personal meaning except for #5 which I thought just kind of looks cool, they all relate mostly to medicines, light and the 'other side'. #1 is my favourite though, was thinking of getting the script tattooed on my left shoulder blade and the serpent part tattooed down the back of my left arm. #3 would just be on the inside of the wrist, or running down the inside of my forearm or perhaps even the back of my neck. #2 would be stretched over my right arm so that the head crest is over the front side of my shoulder, i dunno, they need to be tweaked a little more first but this is the way i'm thinking of going, a very aztec/mayan/incan sort of feel

Ermizhad did the latin translation for me, by the way so thanks Ermizhad. It's probably still incorrect as I haven't had a chance to check it against anything yet, but that's the general idea of it.
Number 1, I can't remember the exact story behind it, something about a serpent bursting out of the spirit realm with a message or a revelation, I just remember reading about it and thinking "nice" so I put my sig to it which I thought was nice and appropriate
#2 is just a little Inca statue that i shopped with contrast/brightness to get most of the shades out of it, i'll try and find another statue or carving to get if that one ends up looking dodgy

3 is just a small Mayan graphic. As far as I know it has nothing attached to it

Just remember, the more intricate the details, the shittier it will look down the line.

it's in my sig. it's just something i thought up after a big trip on acid
"I am a figment of my own imagination I am a part in this universe therefore I am the universe experiencing itself I am the universe questioning itself"
like a year after i wrote that down, i was reading this little handbook thingy about philosophers and found something by a guy named Carl Sagan that said "...we are the universe becoming conscious of itself….we are stardust that has begun to contemplate the stars……"
that really freaked me out
