tattoo and what it means

Nov 27, 2006 21:24

This is my first tattoo and the meaning behind it. I think it's pretty sweet. And it makes me look like a bad ass, even though I'm definitely not.






It is a koi fish with and eye in the middle and it says "make yourself". Brandon and Jose from incubus both have the fish. Make yourself is a cd and song.
Why I got it-
The koi symbolizes fish swimming through water without fear. So too must people go through there life without fearing the unknown and others.
The eye is for wisdom. I hope to be a wise old man one day.
"Make yourself"- Gandhi said something about make yourself into what you want to be. Don't just except who you are. If you don't like something, fix it. Make yourself the person you want/need to be. Do what you would want to do and think is right. I am making myself into the man I want to be to some extent without changing who I am.

So that's my tattoo and what it means to me.
