Ink Consciousness

Our bodies are made up over 70% water, and from my previous post we know that when water is charged with imagery or words it can visibly alter the structure and quality of water, so it is little wonder the effect the kind of words we use when speaking to one another has on our physical and spiritual well being.

Taking this one step further we can turn our attention to the popularity of tattoos. These specialist marking were once used to convey specific meanings, the tribe or clan the individual belonged to, and their position or rank. Nowadays people seem to think nothing of adorning their bodies with skulls dripping with blood, negative words, scenes or characters from horror movies. I wonder just what affect this will have on them; will it make them angrier, moody, depressed, and violent?

A few of years ago while listening to an interview with a Hollywood correspondent; she mentioned that she had a tattoo of the Chinese symbol for Good Luck. She went on to report that since then her career really took off and she is now incredibly successful, rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous on a daily basis and living a full and very happy life. Could this be a coincidence or something more? She certainly believed that there was a connection.

This lead me to think about what drew me to my choice of tattoos A few weeks after I miscarried my first daughter I had a tattoo of a butterfly in remembrance of her. For many months after I had it done I would see butterflies everywhere, not just real ones, for there were plenty of those, but on TV, adverts, magazines etc. What really stunned me was one freezing winters day I was stood by a tree I had planted for her when a gorgeous Red Admiral fluttered around me for a almost a minute, then vanished out of sight over the hedge.

As butterflies are symbolic of renewal and remembrance, metamorphosis and transformation, did the tattoo trigger this? Was it my daughter’s way of saying she had moved on and that I should too? It seems that not only should we be aware of what we put into our body but also what we put onto our body too.

I also have a tattoo of a ladybird, which is a symbol of good luck. I have certainly been helped through my fair share of scrapes and when solutions to a challenge seemed impossibly out of reach, the right person or opportunity popped up just at the right time. I believe I have chosen intuitively the best imagery needed to guide me through my life’s journey.

How has your choice of tattoo changed your life?
