A while back I posted a teaser video of me getting a new tattoo. I just realized I never followed up with actual pictures. Here's what I got:



It is a symbol from the TV show Twin Peaks. It's based on the logo for The Bookhouse Boys, a secret society dedicated to fighting evil. Members receive a patch with this logo, as seen here in the show:



This tattoo balanced out my other Twin Peaks-related tattoo:



... which is the Owl Cave symbol, representing a number of themes in the series ("Fire Walk With Me", "The owls are not what they seem"), but foremost, it is the pathway to the Black Lodge; an evil place, where one's spirit must pass through, on the way to perfection. There, you will meet your own shadow self. If you confront the Black Lodge with imperfect courage, it will utterly annihilate your soul.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
Here is what one of the characters in the series had to say about The Black Lodge: "A place of almost unimaginable power, chock full of dark forces and vicious secrets. No prayers dare enter this frightful maw. The spirits there care not for good deeds or priestly invocations, they're as like to rip the flesh from your bone as greet you with a happy "good day." And if harnessed, these spirits in this hidden land of unmuffled screams and broken hearts would offer up a power so vast that its bearer might reorder the Earth itself to his liking."





Obviously, I am a bit of an obsessive nut for that show. Given that the it only ran for two seasons, 20 years ago, I don't expect that I'll ever run into anyone that knows what my tatts mean. That's okay, I didn't get it for anyone but me, anyway. smile
