Found it.

But what is it indeed, HI?

It is a skull with eagle perched on top and snake coiled round the base of. I had it made at the reckless age of eighteen, out of defiance and to underline my independence and 'coolness' and to stress on my 'deepness' too (I would not have done the same for same reasons now) Skull was supposed to symbolize mortality, the eagle - angel and reason, and the snake - fallen angel and vanity, the whole composition implying struggle of the two for the human soul. The snake's tail higher than eagle implyed possibility of pride to overrule reason. But that were inner considerations, outwardly reasons given were like 'it helps me with the ladies'

I see.

So did it help you with Mrs. Istarion?

HerenIstarion · 07-20-2005, 01:20 AM

I suppose so. We met at the sea two years back, where I were with my 'What? Where? When?" team at the South Caucasus Championship (see, there was a war between Azebaijan and Armenia some years back, and they do not visit each other, hence, if some enterprise takes place with triple participation, it is usually in Georgia) and she was just on vacation.

First time we saw each other, I was, besides being tattoed, also 'bandanned' and in a company of equally 'bandanned' chaps of the similar bearing (we have a superstition of playing on SCC heavily 'bandanned', not that it helped us win it yet, though) she at first thought we were some rock band or something

. Do rock bands attract girls?

But we better ask her herself, though

. I hope she finds the time to log in and see this, seeing as they have audit at the moment in the office she works at

Doubtless, together with intelligence of HI, it seemed very attractive, especially on the sea

... Pirate?

Very cool tat, Heren. And yes... rockers do attract women. It's something about the good girls like bad boys thing. Or just to annoy their older brothers. Whatever works.

With or without the tatoo and bandana, Mrs. Istarion, you are (as you doubtless know) a deeply blessed lady. For several years I have enjoyed H-I's friendship, kindness, spirituality, humor, chivalry, and courtesy. I hold him in very high regard, and I wish you and he all the best, from the depths to the heights.

Sounds cool, Heren. I like the symbolism -- seems like you thought it out pretty well.

Hear, hear!

Dear Heren and Mrs Istarion - very belated (but none the less heartfelt) congratulations from me too!

* Anar kaluva tielyanna!*

Lovely wedding-pictures! (I remember so well when I was in Paris and in love many years ago...)
