    ok so im going to get a tattoo in the spring, i know its months away but i want to start working on ideas and have time to think about them and also find a good shop and check it out,my first idea is the alchemy symbol for platinum it is the amalgamation of gold and silver,Gold is one of the seven metals of alchemy (gold, silver, mercury, copper, lead, iron & tin). For the alchemist, it represented the perfection of all matter on any level, including that of the mind, spirit, and soul. The symbol for gold could also be used to represent the sun in astrology and Silver is one of the seven metals of alchemy (gold, silver, mercury, copper, lead, iron & tin). The symbol for silver is also associated wth the moon in astrology. heres the pic http://www.chemsoc.org/viselements/pages/alchemist/alc_platinum.html


    also i wanted to know if anyone knew any symbols or something that would symbolize dreams,tell me if you think it would be a good tat idea im working on a couple other ideas i will post

    Why not try coming up with symbols that mean something to you?

    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. George Bernard Shaw. i think this qoute explanes me VERY well, just the way ive acted and my personality sence as far and me and my parnets can remember, im VERY strong with my views. the reason why i wanted to do the alchemy symbol is it represents the sun and moon, my philosophy of life has ALOT to do with the universe and how it works this was just one of my idea to represent this.

    I think shaw was half retarded.

    and I think the symbol looks stupid. I wouldn't get either.

    I think the symbol looks cool, and your reason for it is better than just "it's pretty". It's also fairly individual, I haven't seen anyone with a tatt like that - I say good idea! Where would it be?
    I'm not so sure about the quote, if it really means a lot to you then yeah, but loads of text might just look like you've been scribbling on ya arm with a biro :) Depends where you're going to have it. But it seems like you've thought about it, and once again, it'd be very individual. If I were you, I'd probably get the symbol but not the quote, but of course that's just my personal taste - it's your body and whatever you get, good luck!

    well i have to get it where it can be coverd because my dad said if i got one it should be coverd which i dont have a problem with, so my leg is my first choice right on my calf?(damn my shitty spelling) above my shin.i wear jeans most of teh time so it will be coverd but also not always coverd i do wear shorts in the summer and im not in school or anything so it wont realy matter and if i ever get a job ill just wear long pants,the stop i got picked out is my forarm and i wear long sleave shirts mostly flanel (i live in the country i dont give a fuck about fashon) so i t will coverd but not as much.
