skinhead tattoo imagesskinhead tattoo picturesWhy the term Skin Head? Is it only because someone chose to shaved and got it tattooed. Then, it should be Skin Arm Tattoo or a Skin Leg tattoo. Whatever maybe the reason, this skin head tattoo is quite interesting due to its complex and a thought provoking design.

The tattoo artist shows how the two parts of universe, water and sky merge with each other. The lotus, growing in water and the feathers, (angel wings, as it looks to me), represent sky and the two meet with a glow of light in between.

What becomes further interesting is the eye enclosed behind the lotus. This sort of complicated design holds a special meaning to the man adorning the same. You might want to go ahead with a simpler design and own that special Skin Head tattoo.

Francis. Some historians attribute it to a point in time before St. Francis; while some consider he certainly wrote it and they consider it the most universally conventional history of the prayer.

While I may not believe this history to this prayer without any proof, but its meaning holds an ever-lasting importance. This is the wish of each inner self in today’s growing world of hatred and violence.

The ornate design of the Ace of Spades, common in packs today, stems from the 18th century, when certain duties on playing cards were exacted by the monarchy. Stamp duty, an idea imported to England by William III, was extended to playing cards in 1711; this taxation lasted until 1960.

Over the years a number of methods were used to show that duty had been paid. From 1712 onwards, one of the cards in the pack, usually the Ace of Spades, was marked with a hand stamp. In 1765 hand stamping was replaced by the printing of official Ace of Spades by the Stamp Office, incorporating the royal coat of arms. In 1828 the Duty Ace of Spades (known as 'Old Frizzle') was printed to indicate a reduced duty of a shilling had been paid.

The system was changed again in 1862 when official threepenny duty wrappers were introduced and although the makers were free to use whatever design they wanted, most chose to keep the ornate Ace of Spades that is popular today. The Ace of Spades is thus used to show the card manufacturer's information.

greek tattoo symbol images
greek tattoo letter picturesFrom enthrallment of mythology to the heritage delight – there are many reasons why one gets a Greek tattoo done. This image particularly is very interesting and rather intriguing as it pictures the sorcerer, someone to stay away from.

The sorcerer rising out of smoke and his hidden face behind the mask reminds us of magic, mystical stare and create a very remarkable design. Once exploited for a type of punishment, Greek tattoos have become a fad now.

They can be categorized either in the league of devils or wizard. They can be dark or light, good or evil. It is for you to decide the style of Greek tattoo you would want to go with.

Aztec Myths

The Aztec civilization recognized a polytheistic mythology, which contained the many gods (over 100) and supernatural creatures from their religious beliefs.

Aztec culture is generally grouped with the cultural complex known as the Nahua because of the common language they shared. According to legend, the various groups who were to become the Aztecs arrived from the north into the Anahuac valley around Lake Texcoco. The location of this valley and lake of destination is clear – it is the heart of modern Mexico City – but little can be known with certainty about the origin of the Aztec.

There are different accounts of their origin. In the myth the ancestors of the Mexica/Aztec came from a place in the north called Aztlán, the last of seven nahuatlacas (Nahuatl-speaking tribes, from tlaca, "man") to make the journey southward, hence their name "Azteca". Other accounts cite their origin in Chicomostoc, "the place of the seven caves", or at Tamoanchan (the legendary origin of all civilizations).

The Mexica/Aztec were said to be guided by their god Huitzilopochtli, meaning "Left-handed Hummingbird" or "Hummingbird from the South". When they arrived at an island in the lake, they saw an eagle which was perched on a nopal cactus full of its fruits (nochtli). (Due to a mistranslation of an account by Tesozomoc, it became popular to say the eagle was devouring a snake, but in the original Aztec accounts, the snake is not mentioned. One states that it was eating a bird, another indicates that it was only perched in the cactus, and a third just says it was eating something.) This vision fulfilled a prophecy telling them that they should found their new home on that spot. The Aztecs built their city of Tenochtitlan on that site, building a great artificial island, which today is in the center of Mexico City. This legendary vision is pictured on the Coat of Arms of Mexico. Read More...
