WP Prompt: What tattoo do you want and where would you put it?
When I was in high school, I wanted a Wolf tattoo because I loved wolves.
When I became a Morticians Apprentice I wanted a tattoo of Anubis.
My Mom suggested a little nightshade flower, because she’s my Mom and gets me.
I walk by a tattoo parlor that a lot of my friends have used and over the years I debated going in and getting the job done. I never got around to it and to be honest I’m glad because now the idea of those particular tattoos sort of bore me. .
On the other hand, if I could look into the future and see that my tattoos could create the stir the 3,000 year old Deir el-Medina mummy has caused I’d go out and get all three of those tattoos tonight-wouldn’t you?
The tattoos include two seated baboons depicted around a wadjet eye (top row), a symbol of protection.
