#my tattoo
New moon in Aries tonight and my birthday tomorrow so having a nice relaxing bath, setting some intentions for the coming month

“Etymologically, the noun nostos ‘homecoming’ indicates a ‘return’ or ‘coming-back’, derived from the verb-root *nes– ‘return, come back’. This root *nes-, as already noted, has a deeper meaning: ‘come to’, in the sense of ‘come back to consciousness’. The noun nostos itself, meaning ‘homecoming’, also has a deeper meaning: ‘coming back to light and life’. Etymologically related to the noun nostos in the sense of ‘coming back to light and life’ is the noun nóos ‘mind’, which has the deeper meaning of ‘coming to’ in the sense of ‘coming back to consciousness’”

You can look, but don’t touch. I’m burning brighter then I ever was
Rytsas! Bisy atroksia issa! (=Hello! This is an owl!)
(So, apparently, there’s this app called Duolingo that can teach you various languages - including High Valyrian, that I’m currently, huh, “studying” - because yeah, who doesn’t need to know a fictional language… <sarcasm> )
Here it is! The original drawing for my tattoo (the very first version, I had to change some stuff to make it more tattoo-friendly). I made it veeeeery sloooowly on a tablet (a Picassotab), and it’s currently the only drawing I’ve made entirely there (actually, I applied colours first on the pc, then refined everything nice on the tablet).
It took ONE YEAR, more or less xD (no, seriously, it’s also a lot different from the first sketch, I changed so much stuff).
Go here if you wanna see the tattoo itself (I can make only shitty photos apparently, and I don’t want to ruin my gallery with them =3= )
Do you think I should give it a name? :P

I’m so obsessed with my new machine-free tattoo! It’s not quite healed yet but I couldn’t help but shoot my instant film tattoo with some square film. Thanks again, Leah!
