So, I've wanted a tattoo for a while, and of course the difficult part is always deciding what art to get. Thinking of going with something based off of these ancient rock pictographs:
Saw these guys earlier in the year at Hueco Tanks in TX, mecca for bouldering and longtime oasis for native tribes crossing through the desert. It's still a spiritual place for the Mescalero Apache and other tribes. It's an amazing spot - serene, clean like only the desert can be, surprisingly alive with plants and wildlife in the middle of a desolate countryside. I felt a sense of freedom there that I rarely feel, and would like to commemorate that in ink.

Tattoo: Visually the last one, do you care about what they mean? If so what do they mean?

I'm not sure what each one means specifically - not sure anyone does. The mask-like ones were found in hidden-away niches that probably used for ceremonial purposes. Some of them are thousands of years old. To me, they simply bring to mind a place where I feel very alive and free, and remind me that many others had similar thoughts.
