Ok, I had to go and take pictures, I didn't seem to have any!
The "tribal" armband is a repeating sequence of the Egyptian symbols "ankh" and "eye of Horus." Both were used as magical charms in ancient Egypt. The ankh was not only the hieroglyph meaning "life" but was also held by Pharoah's as a wand symbolizing their power over life and death. As a small charm, such as was wrapped with a mummy, it symbolized eternal life. The eye of Horus was both a literal God's eye, it was also a symbol of that God's protection. The myth indicates that it was an eye ripped from Horus in a fight with his uncle and it was then replaced by his father as a magical eye that could see for miles and over time to keep Horus safe from enemies. It becomes then, for me, a charm bracelet granting me a long and safe life. I hope.
The picture that shows my hand is for placement purposes, so you can all see exactly where it sits on my body.
On my right shoulder blade is a winged, feathered serpent from ancient Mesoamerican (Central and South America) history known as Quetzalcoatl. He was many things but is known best for being a light and life bringer. In some myths he is a "blond, blue-eyed stranger that came over the water in a winged boat. Upon his departure he swore he would one day return." This is used as a way of explaining how easily the Spaniards overcame the Aztecs as they were reluctant to attack what MIGHT be a god returned. This tattoo was gotten in honor of my mother. No, she is not Central or South American but she is very wrapped up in the history, culture and society of those countries and they have become, in my head, synonomous with the love I have for her.
Both of these items are over 10 years old and are, unfortunately, beginning to show the blurring and loss of color that comes with age on a tat.
I have a third but it was the first I got, and I did not make a good choice of tattoo artists and it is shameful. Like a colored jail house tat! Besides, I have a cover up design that incorporates a small scarification. One day.
