Alright, let's see if I can get my tattoos started this week. Design notes:
- On my left arm, starting on both sides of the wrist, intertwining to the outside of the arm, up the bicep, and out to the top of the shoulder.
- On my right leg, starting on both sides of the anchor, intertwining to my current tattoo, continuing up both sides of the knee, to the right side of my thigh.
- Overarching design: ancient Indian motifs and patterns; leaves, paisleys, and vines. The rough idea is that my skin is dark wood, wrapped in creeping vines, thoughts, and teardrops.
- Will include both the second and fourth iterations of my sigil (the second is what I have tattooed right now, on my right calf).
- Quotes and thoughts to include in the weave:
Dance in your blood
Secretly, between the shadow and the soul
And over us, death has no dominion
Life without Love (a modified angelic symbol, a sin to be avoided)
All life is suffering.
Elysium
- Drawings to use in the pattern:
Cypress and asphodel
The om symbol
Different sigil renderings
The curve of a smile
Teardrops
Blood drops
Rain drops
Cedar bark
Ancient, pitted sandstone
Waves crashing on the beach
Wisps of cloud in moonlight
Embers and ashes
