Welcome to my life, tattoo
Been feeling the urge to get new ink for some time, and lately the itch has grown stronger. turtliewings' post today added more fuel to the fire. I think it will happen in the next week or two.
What, you may ask, am I doing to myself now? Well, I am mostly fire and air; grounding has never been my thing. I don't want to be too earthbound, but I have to remember that I live here, and bring this into balance (though my arbiter_of_cool is helping a lot in this area).
So... I thought I should make the root chakra a visual cue, a visibly permanent part of me (ankle and not sure why but left feels right).
Found a couple images online that suit me well. I like this one for the simplicity and color, though it lacks the lovely Sanskrit:
Like the clean lines here, but I think would want more vibrant color:
This one is too big and too detailed for the space-would have to forgo the border-but I love the richness of color:
I'm getting excited to have a new pretty, and see what changes it engenders in me.
