Thank you. Not really a story, I suppose. I designed it and had it done in pieces. Everything on it means something to me and has great personal symbolism though. I like cats (animals), have an affinity with black cats. I like spirals and books(not sure if it's visible but the cat is sitting on an open book. The iron scrollwork and ivy are both reminders of New Orleans. The ivy is also for my sign in Celtic astrology and when I had a rough night last year, when crashed my car into a curb...I passed out in ivy. So it's also to remind me not to be so fucking stupid ever again. The ankh is for eternal life, as I'm sure you know and I adore ancient Egypt. The crescent moon was for mere design purposes, but I've been known to stare aimlessly at the night sky. I once wanted to be an astronaut.
Someday I hope to have the Egyptian goddess Ma'at on the small of my back, with outstretched wings. She was the goddess of truth and justice. I wanted two small symbols on my wrists too, but I'm still deciding.
That, is more than you wanted to know...I'm sure. ;}
