Symbols you find interesting or identify with

[Phoenix87x]

Just something that was on my mind.

I'll start things off with the  Ouroboros







I think it ultimately has a different meaning, but to me I see the concept of repetition of cycles and how it can be self destructive. Like as a person with flaws and having aspects of myself I want to grow past, but failing and repeating the same destructive patterns.

Its like a reminder of the consequences of failing to break the cycle and I've always been drawn to it as a symbol.


How about you guys. Are the any symbols that you find interesting, that you identify with or find meaningful?

Agreed, and also how everything in nature is cyclical. Not a fan of Bible but "From dust to dust..." and all that. Ouroboros is actually a form of infinity symbol, would get a tattoo of it if anyone and their grandma didn't already have it

All I see is a dragon pleasuring himself, but that's just me

I have no ink - and the odds are better than 50-50 that that won't change - but if it ever was to change, there's no doubt that it would be the Eye of Horus.

I don't think there's any literal basis for that - the symbol varies (depending on which eye it is) but generally refers to health, well-being and protection, but I think there's a sort of comfort there and a sort of peace to that.  I don't know. I just like it.
