I'm the market for a new tattoo. In keeping with my others, they have to have some obscure meaning in my life. I'm thinking of going the "ancient religions" route this time, seeing as how I've been poking my nose around in alot of Gnostism lately. My first idea is a chnoubis, a lion-headed snake that was a Gnostic seal for protection against poisons and such. I figured I'd let the guy I go to do his own take on it though since he's a fucking AMAZING artist and I've been promising him business soon, hah.

I have other ideas, but I'm exploring them further first. Even though you guys don't know me that well (yet) I figured I'd open up the floor for suggestions. Spit 'em out, kids.

You know you want to.

I like the image of the Asclepius Wand. I was thinking of a snake slithering like how it is sometimes depicted on Athena's shield. Then, with that, I was going to put in an evil eye - not really evil, but that's what I call the Greek eye that is supposed to ward off the evil eye. I can't decide if I want one or two - two for symmetry and for the two snakes the Minoan goddess is holding in her hands (death and rebirth).

I'll be curious to hear what you decide on!
