hey
im thinking of getting my first tattoo as a gift to myself because im turning 24 on friday.
not sure if people will change their perception of me, dont really care.
I studied math, the idea of the tattoos is to have some concealed meaning to myself mostly, to tell a story about my individual thoughts and experiences, encoded.
was thinking about getting either an hourglass on the inside of my left wrist / forearm (small, no colour). I have a few variations of this idea.
1. hourglass
A 2dimensional inverted triangle sitting on another triangle, no verticle lines on either side, in the shape of an hourglass. The triangle is the greek letter delta, and the inverted triangle represents the inverse of it. Delta is used to signify "change" in mathematics, so the inverse delta would symbolise a constant. Together, as an hourglass, "constant change" or "change is constant".
2. hourglass
the other idea would be a small 3d hourglass, with the sides. It has sand running out of the top, but the bottom half of the hourglass is smashed, and has shards of the broken glass of different variations. So there is no sand in the bottom of the hourglass, the sand is flowing downward, into nothingness, or oblivion. It represents the irreversible nature of time, and the inevitability of death.
or
getting putting a small mathematical sign/symbol that means uniqueness on the inside of my inner right wrist. Literally in english, it means "There exists one and only one".
oh yea, dont steal my ideas
