but, what does it mean?

A bird, a leg? a kneeling person?

If I told you then I'd have to kill you. :- )

It wouldn't make sense to pick something sort of obscue, that very few would know what it is, then just go telling everyone would it?

I didn't just pick that off the wall. Some thought went into it.

The young artist dude who drew the stencil thing did a nice job. The pic I gave him was very basic, it was that but like block lettering, square and boxy. Good starting point I thought. I said "I want this. Can you make it more interesting?" Got just what I wanted.

Gotta give credit to the man who did the inking too. Nice job.

Hmm. 6:00. It's now 1 day and 30 minutes old. Here's my other one. After 20 years it's faded a bit.

Ha! now I know where else I'd posted last night! I was racking my brains trying to remember & hoping I hadn't said something really stupid.

Well, phooey! I'll just have to Decifer(?)your hieroglyphics then.

I'm guessing it's not "MOM"?

Arc: If you know what it is, no telling! :- )

Ooooohh! I must go put my lipstick on!

It's either that or A&D ointment. I think I'll use the A&D. It is a baby after all. I'll save the thing of sunflower oil organic chapstick stuff for work. Gotta keep it moisturized and all for a couple of weeks.

My dad used to have a fierce leopard one that over the decades has shrunk and faded to a kind of sick looking alley cat. My mother's husband Ray had "muff diver" tattooed on when he was in Vietnam but he later had it covered up with a rose and the name "Bonnie" (my mother's name). It was funny, though, cuz he still had "muff diver" when we were all born-again and got baptized in front of the church in a big church font in Texas in 1981 ... and there was the tattoo. ha ha

Arc: The thumbnail one is a bat. I have a thing for vampires. Not the evil icky kind, ones more like the slightly romaticized ones in the Anne Rice novels.

Wanna make me purr? Nibble on my neck, works every time :- )

It should look like Egyptian hieroglyphics! That's what it is, now can you tell me what it is?

It's the symbols on the back of an article of clothing that give the washing and drying instructions... Warm water / no bleach / gentle spin cycle /

Arc: Hahahahaha! That's good! I like that. Next time someone asks that's what I'll say.
