Tattoo notes

Jul 05, 2007 22:17

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
