TATTOOS

To me they are an extension of myself. They are so much more than the black and coloured inks scribbled on my skin. They are more precious than all of the utterly satisfying materialistic valuables I have. They are going to stay on me….. stay on me until my whole anatomy is completely burnt out or buried six feet under.
People around me think that I consider myself to be cool or that I am cool or that I try to flaunt or maybe that I am an entrenched rock music lover giving my dedications to those headbangers (cuz all of em have it). False hypothesis.
All the people know that I am tattooed. But only a couple ask what they mean.



An Irish four leaf clover - My first one.
The four leaves are suggestive of Hope,love,faith and luck.
The mystique of the four leaf clover continues today, since finding a real four leaf clover is still a very rare occurrence and an omen of good luck. Sir John Melton wrote: "If a man walking in the fields find any four-leaved grass, he shall in a small while after find some good thing."





A Gothic ambigram - The most beloved one.
The four alphabets 'm' , 'd' , 'p' , 's' . Hence 'MDPS'.
MD-> My mother's initials
PS-> My father's initials
Turn it upside down it still remains 'MDPS'. An ambigram.
This piece of art makes me feel that my parents are always there with me no matter what.





A Heartagram - A telltale.
A heart + an inverted pentagram = Heartagram
A human being is not perfect to the hilt be it the moral deeds or everyday duties. We all have our wolves inside of us.
This artwork is a modern day ying-yang symbol representing the good inside of me (heart) and the not-so-good or simply bad (pentagram). It also symbolises the balance between life and death.
Now why is the pentagram considered to be wicked? Well that can be googled. :P
I would rather have someone asking 'Why is the heart considered to be good?' when there are so many unjustified acts of dishonour and violence budding around. Some openly, some discreetely.



Be that as it may, I LOVE my tattoos and I love their concept if its portrayed the right way.
I hope there are more to come. :). Oh wait I already have HOPE(clover) inked on myself. Hell yeah they WILL come.
