Thinking about..

Ok..ive been thinking about getting a new tattoo lately. Ive already got two and ill admit one of them means nothing to me and was a huge mistake. However..one of them has a huge spiritual significance to me and I believe, overall, that tattoos should always be of a spiritual significance and should only be gotten for spiritual reasons.

Think about it..it is a personal scarification process that will permanently be with you forever and ever. Its almost like a mark on the soul, if you will.
I got to thinking about tattoos the other day when I saw an episode of “No Reservations” where the host of the show traveled to Malaysia and got a traditional Iban (headhunting Malaysian tribe..ancient tribe..) tattoo on his shoulder, tattooed by a member of the Iban tribe. He didnt get the tattoo traditional STYLE, though, which sort of made me sad. The guy tattooed him with the tat gun or whatever and the traditional Iban style is with a needle, bamboo, and a hammer..but whatever..heh.
Anyhow..it got me into thinking about tribal tattoos and how spiritually significant they were, and are, within ancient tribes and the remnants of those tribes. The art of tribal tattooing is really a lost art and eventually in my life id like to get a traditional style tattoo, no tattoo gun and all that.

Lots of people get spiritual tattoos, cross tattoos, Buddhist and Hindu tattoos, etc. Another really popular spiritually significant tattoo are the Native American style tattoos and I kinda wanna get something along those lines but my idea is a bit different..im not gonna get the typical feathers, dreamcatcher, yadda yadda. But im not unveiling my ideas because I dont want anyone to steal them hehehehe.

Anyways..ive seriously been contemplating getting a new tattoo..well, technically two of them..its gonna be a while because tattoos should be very very well thought out ..what do you guys think?
