I would never tattoo myself, but if I did I would choose the yin-yang motive.

You speak for all of us? Your prejudices just shows how weak and pathetic you are.
Why don\'t you go somewhere else with your twisted, racistic thoughts?

tygerwilde, I dont think he meant to say Celt. Fanomatic2000, kirillian probably had no idea what you just typed means, so dont bother.

oh, perhaps he meant cult? actually, if you want to be technical, christianity is a cult, in fact, if you look at the FBI\'s listing of the worlds most dangerous cults, christianity ranks among the top 15.

see, the definitions of a cult are very broad, let me show you how anyone, if you look closely enough, can be considered a cultist...

A system or community of religious worship and ritual.

see, all religions rely on worship and ritual, except for those that don\'t worship a given god, such as bhuddists and atheist. by this definition, something like 70 percent of the worlds population become members of a cult...

A religion or religious sect generally considered to be extremist or false

by this definition, all those that aren\'t covered above are cultists

An exclusive group of persons sharing an esoteric, usually artistic or intellectual interest.

by this definition, most of us, those of us who are truly interested in this game... a common interest, much like monty python having a cult following, it\'s all a matter of perspective...

i\'ve got a tatoo when i was around ten years old ...made in the old painful way - my brother stabed me in the arm with a pen and i\'ve got the mark for ten years now ...it just won\'t go away (no bullshit!!)

[tygerwilde]

heh, that I\'ve had happen, my best friend at the time was drawing dirty pictures in the dirt with a ball point pen, teacher was about to come around the corner, so I went over and scrubbed them out with my foot, he got mad and jabbed me in the arm with the pen, sank to the bone, it was so freaky cause I had a hole in my arm, but it didn\'t start bleeding for like ten minutes, we were sitting in the principles office when the blood started oozing out...

Hey Tygerwilde...do tell, I would really like to hear about your religion. I guess I could just look it up, but it wouldn\'t be the same...

[tygerwilde]

As a druid, I believe in one god, a god of balance, one side is the universal creator, who designed all, and brought about religions(all religions) as a means of teaching man to treat each other with kindness, and the other half is ruled by destruction, who brings about death and chaos, which is required for order to grow. neither half is evil or good

we don\'t believe in evil, all actions taken apon us in our lives, all things that happen shape us, make us who we are, if we commit a crime, it\'s merely a touch of the destroyers influence on our past, something bad that happened that caused a slight personality flaw

now, although we don\'t believe in evil doesn\'t mean that we don\'t believe in wrong, just because we have these flaws passed along to us in the past doesn\'t mean that we are required to pass them along

our religion is very disorganised, most practice without any connection to the church, I myself am debating joining, I\'m leaning towards staying independent truly

there are three major factions, in our religion, because of the duality nature of our god, order, neutrality and chaos. all are considered equals within the orderwho are below the high priest, although even he has little power among us, we have few rituals, mostly centering around our holy objects, or the four gates (the origin of the winds/points/spirits ritual, although wiccans have claimed for years that they designed that ritual) I am the only druid in the area in which I live, we were also the first to celebrate the solstices and equinoxes.

we also believe in meditative magic, which is where most people come to believe that we\'re quacks,


if you want to learn in more depth what we believe, an excellent source of information is \"The twenty one lessons of merlin\" the authors name slips from my mind at the moment, but it\'s gives an alternate arthurian history, where young arthur meets merlin, who trains him in the way of the druid as guidance in tolerance to make him a good king, every chapter comes with a lesson guide, giving history of the gaelics, history of druids, and lessons in our rituals and beliefs

I\'ve got henna an my arm right now. It\'s supposed to stay on for 4 weeks but it\'s rubbing off after 5 days. And you\'re supposed to wait 6 hours till you peel off the stuff so I had to keep my arm perfectly straight because I drew it from the top of my hand to the inside of my elbow and I was afraid of messing it up.

I went with my sister a little while ago when she went to get her second tatoo, just a little christian fish, and I saw some Tibetan symbols I really liked.

I considering taking up being a tatoo artist while in college to pay for things but it seems like there\'s so much training involved that it would take up too much of my time and money for a non-permenant career.

Just a piece of advice, don\'t get any band-names or symbols. Linkin Park will probably become the equivalent of the Beegees in 30 years.

Peace

you\'re prolly just shedding your skin fast is all. See, henna dyes the top layers of your skin, whereas tats put the ink under your skin and scar tissue. When your skin dies and flakes away, the henna marks fade. Don\'t worry, it\'s a natural process of your body.
