My tattoos

Description

This was taken about a day after my second one was done, so if you look carefully you'll see that the skin is a little red and the tattoos are a little raised. I don't have time before I leave for Christmas to charge my batteries and set up a good shot of how they are now, so this'll have to do.

This second time around I got first one done again as well because an unfortunate situation after the first one was done left little holes in the perminant colour and it needed re doing.

Usually the first question people ask when they see these tattoos is "what do they mean?":
Well, the first one (the spiral with a red arm), is basically a yin/yang symbol, meaning balance. For personally it is a reminder that in order to be emotionally and spiritually healthy I need to balance my "negative" emotions with my "positive", and not supress those negative emotions.
The second one, the one that looks like a script means the highest self, in buddhism I guess it would be the potential enlightened self, new agers often call it the christ/buddha consciousness.. there's all sorts of names for it, but basically it reminds me to always be growing towards my highest potential on all levels, to always work towards becoming a better person.

The second one, the script, is viewed sideways. The line of my shirt is "down" and towards my wrist is "up".
