I spoke to my tattoo designer and got the other labyrinth idea sent but feel I am going to go with the original as on my starting post. I just feel it's cool and a bit more querky. My designer said that the sun could be made a bit more like the native American sun moving a bit to one side. I'm feeling though that whereas that symbol encompasses peace and the healing arts which I love I feel it looks a bit too trapped without the rays just expanding out. I like how the original design is quite expressive and more yang. The sun and the labyrinth just being that whole sense of the self overcoming the shadow, growth, evolution, death and rebirth, the whole me becoming the new me.
I've enjoyed looking at the design and just thinking how it will look on me. I do feel I'll be more me with it. It feels like a great treat for myself and something I can live with. It's been planned well enough I feel. It will still have the seven big rays which for me will be about the chakras and still the link with the native American sun, healing arts etc. I will remember that I gave that original foundation.
I guess a tattoo doesn't have to encompass every single thing about a person. It's those main themes though and for me it is the whole rebirth into the new me and this tattoo really has that. I feel I can enjoy it and wear it with pride and honour as a representation of confidence in the new me and my newfound sense of self. It has been a difficult time which I have come through and now I know I'm loads better for it. :)
I will call on Monday to make the appointment. :) I can put another $100 in the account for it on Thursday making $300 which should totally cover it really. What a wonderful treat for me. I'm excited while being nervous about getting it. I do feel I'll be more me with it than without it. My soulful expression on my body. It's great to write and feel that. :)
