A long journey


The tattoo symbolizes the mans family history in the line of the forefathers. Irrespective of the actual timeline it is designed in the style of scandinavian carvings of the 10th century, beeing somewhat broadminded in taking in motives of other ages.












Concerning the family history, there are no evidences for the time before 1800, but the linguistic analysis of the last name suggests, that the man's ancestors originated from a hill in the southwestern region of today Germany, an area that was populated by the Alamanns during the Migration period.

Most likely the ancestors of the man where peasants, but that is just a guess, so the first character, the eponymous forebear, living on the hill – symbolized by the man's breast – could be a stock farmer, but also a butcher, a hunter or even a priest, making sacrifice - or just cutting the horns of an aurochs, as well.





The next figure symbolizes an armed man moving to (East-)Prussia, the region allegorised by the (post-medieval) prussian coat-of arms-eagle on the shoulder. To stay within the chosen iconographic context, the character is designed as an alamanic warrior.




In East-Prussia the documented part of the history begins: the oldest assured ancestor was a farmer and presbyter.





 One of his sons moved to Westfalen, pictured by the old symbol of that region in the western part of today Germany, the rampant horse, and became a metal worker, represented by the smith-figure. Two generations of metal workers followed him.




The bearer of the actual tattoo eventually choose a different profession and became an archivist. Translating this vocation into the chosen iconographic system, he choose the myth of Mimir and his well. The horn, beeing of importance in different ways to the bearer of the tattoo, completes the circuit.




 Allover view of a very complex design, an inkmark of a long journey, of being rooted in land and family, of following the ancient tradition of "carving the skin in memory of the forefathers" (notice double- spiral in the design, symbolizing the flow of life here)

Thanks for visiting me, wherever i was, for the nice sessions, nice food n drinks ;)

Hi Tian, Hope you are still enjoying Austria.

Have you seen this tattoo?

The character is actually the Japanese katakana ホ (ho) not 木 (ki, tree). The mistaken use of ‘ho’ is quite unfortunate considering the woman as both subject and canvas. And yes, the hip-hop slang meaning of ‘ho’ (whore) is known in Japan and written with the same character.

Germany






Bedrohlich, der germanische Wald
Schon seit Urzeit finster und kalt
Voller Tropfen, Geheimnisse und Lichter
Verflochten, verwoben in tote Gesichter

Es rinnt der Schweiss, es rinnt der Regen
Alle Legionäre müssen alles geben
Hosenlos, auf römisch`Art
Verschmutzt, erschöpft, doch ohne Bart

Bis zu den Knien im Schlamm sie waten
Sich immer enger und enger scharen
Tiefe Furcht sich in ihre Kehlen schnürt
Ob dem, was ein jeder hier spürt

Er scheint zu leben, der beklemmende Wald
Durch den ob Nebel und Regen nun nichts mehr schallt
Da schlägt ein Ast, da glotzt ein Pilz
Im Moor, es greift nach dir und deine Seele will´s!

So sind die Soldaten durchfroren und ohne Kraft
Alles durchnässt, dreie das Moor weg gerafft
Doch: “Semper fidelis!” Immer treu, folgen sie Varus, ihrem Führer
Den seinerseits Armin, der Cherusker führt

Plötzlich des Waldes nagendes Angstgefühl
Wandelt sich in Menschengewühl
Als der Cherusker einen Pfiff ertönen lässt
Und die Legionen stachen in ein Wespennest

Aus dem Schlamm, den Blättern auf Boden  und Bäumen
Plötzlich unendlich Germanen schäumen
Ein Schrei wie von tausend Bären ertönt
Der der zu Tode erschöpften Römer Ängste nur nährt

Und schon, vom Schwerte ergraben der Blutstrom fliesst
Sich in tosendem Lärmen zu Boden ergiesst
Russgeschwärzt Germani alle
Bringen, getarnt hervorgestürmt den Tross zu Falle

Pfeile und Speere von Bäumen und Hügeln regnen
Als die Reihen der Römer behende sich ebnen
Doch auch schwarze Gesichter gehen nach Walhall
Und Blut und Schmerz ist allüberall

Es regnet Köpfe und Arme und Hände
Blutrot ist des Waldes Moor am Ende
Und zerrissenene Münder und Augen
Im Tode verzerrt aus der Erde nun schauen

Bis zur dritten Nacht zieht sich das Grauen
Im Lichte der Fackeln sieht man die Frauen
Wie sie berauben die Römer, finden den Mann
Weinend den Liebsten erkannt, der nicht entrann

Kaum zieht der Morgennebel seine Bahn
So sind schon Wolf und Aar heran
Letzen sich am unendlich geflossenen Strom
Totes Fleisch nun ihre Gier belohnt

Durch die Haufen zerfetzter Leiber
Wühlen schmatzend sich Reiter
Auf Bahren tote Cherusker ziehend
Waffenvertrieben die Gierigen fliehen

So werden die Gefallenen aufgeschichtet
Und durch Flammen nass schwelenden Holzes vernichtet
Nur die Römer bleiben, genagelt an Bäume im Blutmoor zurück
Auf Altären geopfert, Stück für Stück

Ihre Schädel und Waffen Wotan dargebracht
Im heiligen Haine, im Schutze der Nacht
Noch lange rauchen die Seelenfeuer
Durch die sich die Seele erneuert

Und weit in Walhalla droben
Noch lang´die Cherusker sich lobten
Wie brav sie die Römer erzogen!



(The poem is inspired by a battle called clades variana, one of the most desastrous events in roman military records, the romans got terribly defeatet by germanic tribes, check out the historical background:
