Has anyone else noticed the running figure and bird? on the trunk?

Does that make any more sense?

I see what you mean, kinda(purple is person running, red does look a lot like a crane or some big bird). But really it all just looks like a severed arm or leg was dangled above a lion, taken away and then dunked in a bag of grass clippings.

I'm meat on the hoof


Other people have opined elsewhere, and they may have an idea:

"Harry Potter reference? Looks like a snake at the lower left, into a passage of some sort? Phoenix in the middle, on.... a lovely womping willow? I don't even know what to say about the purple person who looks like they're swimming"

"Ohhh, yes, I think we have a winner! The secret tunnel under the womping willow with Fawkes flying overhead while Ron (with his broken leg) is dragged into the tree."

OTOH:

"From the bottom up it looks like a used condom that has a 90 degree bend and is filled with poop. At the end of the poop filled condom there is a mass of hair that looks like it just went through a failed green dye job. And for some reason there is a dead bird lying on top of it, and there is a little fairy lady swimming in the poop. Sorry, that is the best I can do."

I, too, have been completely mystified by this hideous tattoo...enough to do some reverse-image searching which landed me in Reddit where someone claiming to have insight says that the woman in the picture drew the art herself and then got it tattooed.

This can't be real, can it? I still don't believe it, but anyway... posted:

Just looked at her shared image on Facebook. The circle is an ouroboros, relatively simple. And then growing out of that is the roots that then right angle up to the tree.

In the tree there is a purple person dancing and A Phoenix flying, these can be seen as paintings on the tree.

the tree has a feminine shape, possibly the paintings on the tree double as patterns on a dress. The dance of life toward meaning — rebirth being either something all humanity is destined for or something the artist believes is fact(unsure) the feminine frame of the trunk possibly symbolizes Mother Nature

I also believe the branches and leaves of the tree double as peacock feathers , flannery O’Connor believed the circle on the peacocks feather was the eye of god, judging all.

So from the ouroboros, a symbol of the constant cycle of life and death, grows the Phoenix— a being that has overcome death by being reborn from fire— and humanity chases this desire. And the god of the peacock, though a similar beauty to the Phoenix, is of the earth. Does not rebirth. But it holds with it gods protection and love—his gaze and permissibility (the leaves blowing in the wind, unlike the stern unmoving trunk of the tree) and although she is lovely and desirable, Mother Nature is deceptively harsh

...If I had to hazard a guess

e: And it also reminded me of that story about the girl whose boyfriend was mad at her so he tattooed a pile of poo poo on her back, complete with flies. I really always thought it was fake, but when looking for the picture, turns out the tattoo is real but it's supposed to be moths flying toward a flickering candle.
Anyway, real or fake, these gals should be friends.

e2: Imgur isn't working for me and I've already been too involved with this whole mess! But if you search for poo poo back tattoo, you'll see it. As if you could forget.

Well whether it's intended to or not, I think it definitely works like defensive eye spots on moths. Any predator is going to be struck with paralytic confusion trying to figure out what it's looking at while she makes her escape.

Cannot yet assign positively to animal or vegetable kingdom, but odds now favour animal, probably represents incredibly advanced evolution of radiata without loss of certain primitive features. Echinoderm resemblances unmistakable despite local contradictory evidences. Wing structure puzzles in view of probable marine habitat, but may have use in water navigation. Symmetry is curiously vegetable-like, suggesting vegetable's essentially up-and-down structure rather than animal's fore-and-aft structure. Fabulously early date of evolution, preceding even simplest Archean protozoa hitherto known, baffles all conjecture as to origin.

In case anyone's wondering, the sound is not being reproduced from the scanned tattoo. The audio is stored on the phone and whenever the camera sees the trigger image - the tattoo - it plays the audio.

That was my first thought :thumbsup:

And now I'm wondering what the highest fidelity you could get out of a picture of a waveform would be. (pretty dang poo poo, but how poo poo?)

Which basically guarantees that in 5-10 years this tattoo will be meaningless.

I doubt you could tell what was being played back from a tattoo of a waveform, the sampling rate would just be too low. Maybe if you had terrible white noise and could convince people it was the sound of ocean waves? :v:
