day 261 'my only tattoo'


i got this tattoo in seattle nearly 8 years ago. it hurt like hell. then half of it came off with the scab and i had to go back and he practically had to redo the whole thing again. now it's more of a raised scar than a tattoo, but i still love it.

*leo glyph*

The symbol...or glyph...of Leo has, since ancient times, been likened to the mane of a lion, or even its tail.
However, it has also been thought to represent the two valves of the heart...the area of the body which Leo rules.
Yet other interpretations of the glyph are that it is representative of the "serpent power" or creative force of the body in its coiled or dormant form, or that it symbolizes the heat or creative energy of the Sun, the celestial body which governs this Zodiac Sign.
In Vedic Astrology, this glyph represents creativity and childbirth, likened to a sperm cell which is the creative power of life and heralds its beginning.
