no, its tyr's rune.

Awesome!

You'd think your army buddies would appreciate a rune dedicated to the God of War, though...

Is the painting by Lucian Freud? It looks it...

I got it two years ago and it has faded a bit. I plan to redo it and I'm also working on a double sleeve design which will become reality probably next year.

fuckin awesome

That was a silly generalization. Tyr is the god of bravery. All norse gods were, technically gods of war.

All the gods were pictured with weapons. Even the chicks look like thier ready to disembowel someone.

Mehndi is henna. We use it for dying hair, and we also use it for hand tattoos in weddings or special occasions. Note that mostly women use Mehndi, not really men.

For your hair, it's actually quite good for it. For the hands, it lasts about a month and then fades off. It takes some time to apply it for tattoos, a stencil is used and usually applied by elder female members of our families.

The major downside of it is that it stinks like high hell for about a week... not a poo smell or anything, just like... really wet muddy earth.

Weird. My friend never uses stencils, she free hands it. And it doesn't smell to me.. at least not in a bad way. Plus you soak it in sugar and lemon after you apply it so you smell more like sugar and lemon after than anything.

But yes it's a woman's art. And not just for your hands. My friend went to a baby shower yesterday to decorate the woman's stomach with mehndi. I want to do that when I'm pregnant. You can put mehndi anywhere really, though hands and feet are what were traditionally done in India and the Middle East.

Metal tats are ace

I've got nothing now. I'm not totally opposed to getting a tattoo if I come across the right one, but it wouldn't be very big or anything. I probably won't ever get one. Definitely not going to pierce anything. That's gay.

If looking different is what you're after, it seems like staying un-modded is the way go. I like the idea of staying in a natural, sans modification state, but I do shave every other three or four days. I'm never going to be able to grow facial hair, so I'd just look stupid if I didn't shave.

 

[Pessimism]

I don't understand why you would get a back tattoo like that

Top left looks nothing like Hetfield. Good work on the bottom two though, especially Lars.

The tattoo artist must have been terrible.

at silly american boy trying to teach me about Norse mythology. No, all Norse gods were not gods of war. Tyr, God of Combat. Final. And don't quote Manowar to prove me wrong!

 

[genocide roach]

CV is right. Tyr is the god of war and justice.

[Pessimism]

Well duuuur.

Only a total dumbass would need that to be explained to hi.....shit.

 

[Susperia]

If you would have said henna I would have known what you were talking about. :zombie:

Henna is simply the ink you use in the process, but mehndi is the artform. It's like calling tatoos "inks". They're not inks really they're tattoos.

I thought Odin was also a god of War and Death as well as of Wisdom.
