Body modification is important to me... I see my body as a canvas and a tool. To mark it with the strength of my faith, and honor that wich is important to me.
Pain is a sign of life, acceptance of it is strength and acceptance of the hardships in life. Having them reminds me that pain passes, and any hardship can be overcome, and at the same time, pain can be enjoyed and hardships in the same way should be welcomed and enjoyed. Because it adds to who you are.
Tattoos and scars are abit different. They are both a way of honoring those important to me, showing my faith and path, and a form of aid. Talismans and charms of sorts. So far I only have three done. Aegishjalmar:
And two customs that I did of full bodied tribal wolves. In honor of Hati and Skol. Soon I am getting a sun and moon placed in front of each, respectively.
I have many more piercings and tattoos to come. My sketchbook is filling to the brim...
My back will basically be a piece honoring Fenrir and Hela (with Iormorgund, Hati and Skol in it as well.) Between Hati and Skol it will be Hela, arms spread with runes between her hands that say "Lupus Chaoticus". And upon her hands the binds for "Life" and "Death" respectively. Under which it will have Fenrir breaking free and shaking away the chains, sword being shattered in his powerful jaws. Beneath fenrir will read "The chains are off, take heed and fear the wolf." In runes. Underlined by Nordic knotwork of Iormorgund.
I am getting the Runic helm on my other shoulder, and a tiny Valknot beneath my right eye. I also have wrist bands designed. The left will read: Death Chaos Destruction The right will read: Life Peace Creation (its pretty obvious balance is important in my path.) There are others... But it seems my post is getting rather long... sweatdrop And yes, I have put years and years of thought into these. Most of my sketches have been worked on, slowly reaching their desired image, over the past few years.
RAGE

Shimegamis_Rage TeaDidikai Wow. Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Most Asatru I know have a good understanding of this concept. Heh... I'm not an Asatru, I'm an Erilaz... sweatdrop Similar... Same deities, pretty parallel beliefs... different way of going about things, different way of practicing...
No offence taken I hope. Sorry for the assumption. Interesting... could you PM me with some more info?
