Deathly Hallows, my future tattoo

Hi! Soon I 'm going to get a tattoo and would like to share with you and see if you like.  I love Harry Potter so it wanted that my first tattoo was something related to the story. I want a deathly hallows tattoo.

History
The story revolves around three wizard brothers who once conquered death for a short time by defeating a deadly obstacle with their magic. The personification of Death appeared out of anger because he felt that they had cheated him, but pretended to congratulate them by awarding them gifts of their choosing: The Elder Wand, The Resurrection Stone and the Invisibility Cloak. Two of the three brothers wished to conquer Death beyond what they had done already, and foolishly chose their gifts accordingly, leading to their early demise. The third brother was wiser, and hid under the Invisibility Cloak that allowed him to postpone death until he was ready; he lifted the veil that had helped him to evade the afterlife and was welcomed by Death.
The three objects mentioned during the tale are meant to be the Deathly Hallows, the most powerful magical objects in existence. The Elder Wand is the unbeatable wand of the oldest brother, the Resurrection Stone is the stone given to the second brother, and the Cloak of Invisibility is the cloak given to the third brother that could hide the wearer even from Death.

Meanings

The triangle symbolize the Invisibility Cloak, the circle symbolize the Resurrection Stone and the line, the Elder Wand.

I do not even know what kind of tattoo I want. I have two options;

Option 1

On the wrist

Opción 2

With details, on the wrist

Please, shake your opinion ;)

Mexican skulls, a way of remember

The tattoos of Mexican skulls have received an enormous popularity in the last years. They have a fascinating aesthetics that calls the attention, it can become personal of many forms, for which it does not lose originality in spite of his popular character, they can be located in diverse parts of the body and can be done in all the styles, but besides everything, have a very interesting symbolism. Let's speak a bit on the tattooes of Mexican skulls and let's enjoy a gallery of photos.

History
En la cultura mexicana, las calaveras son celebradas. Mientras que para la gran mayoría de las culturas esto pueda resultar espeluznante y hasta desagradable, pues refleja la muerte que es, después del sexo, el mayor tabú que existe, en México ocurre algo bastante diferente. En tierras mexicanas, así como en varias otras partes de Sudamérica, hay una celebración llamada “el día de los muertos", que hace que ese miedo se expulse y sea compartido con los demás, quizá para no sentirse solos y así celebrar tanto la vida como la muerte de los que nos han dejado. En vez de mirar a la muerte con desdén, se ve con ironía y humor.
Meanings
A skull to be tattooed can serve to remember a dear person who has gone away.

Wiz Khalifa, an inspiration

Well, you will be wondering why I am going to speak about Wiz Khalifa. At first, for those who  do not know him, Wiz Khalifa (Camerón Jibril Thomaz) is an American rapper, singer, actor and composer of songs. Initially, it is possible that you think that he does not have a relation with tattooes, right? Look at this;







Do you continue thinking the same thing?
Wiz-K started doing tattooes to him at the age of 16, his first tattoo was the name of his group (Taylor Gang). He says that the majority of his tattooes are of spiritual motive, or they have to see something with his life and all his tattooes have a meaning. He has one dedicated to his uncle, and other one to his sister. His passion for the tattooes does not finish there, in 2009 he wrote a song, " Ink my whole body ", in which it was describing his fanaticism for the tattooes.

Here I leave you the link of the song and the lyrics;

Body marked up like the walls in the 80's
Speakers scream loud like a car full of babies
Chain's so sick, think my charm came with rabies

Niggas say it's "hard", white people think it's awesome
Chest, neck tatted, whole sleeve on my arm done
They say I look like Tyga man

Can't wear a shirt, the bitches lift it all up

Dream-catcher, a native symbol

History
A dream-catcher is an original object of the people ojibwa (one of the native peoples of North America). It is composed by a circular hoop on which a network is woven in the shape of spiderweb and is in the habit of decorating by pens and accounts. Some people, grant magic properties related to the dreams to him like amulet. Also there is called he a hunter of dreams. In language ojibwa it is called asabikeshiinh (spider) or bawaajige nagwaagan (trap or bough of dreams).
Properties
 For the ojibwa, an dream-catcher is capable of leaking the dreams stopping to spend only the positive dreams, staying the bad dreams caught in the network and disappearing when it dawns.
For the people lakota or lakhota (of the tribe Sioux), the dream-catcher works on the contrary, that is to say, the nightmares happen across the network and the good dreams remain caught in the network and slip for the pens up to the person who is sleeping below. 
Meanings
In some occasions, there are persons who grant a different meaning to him, giving him the value to help to obtain what one proposes, interpreting the word 'dreams', with the meaning 'aspiration' and ' longings'. Dream-catcher have become popular in many places and there appear variants like earrings or necklaces. Inside the world of the tattooes, as multitude of ethnic elements, also they are represented dream-catcher in tattooes, though it is not of the most common. The motives for which a person carries out a tattoo of a dream-catcher are diverse. It can symbolize protection.

Ying & Yang, a representation of our nature

The symbol of the Yin-Yang, also known as "Taijitu", in which the black represents the "Yin" and the white the "Yang". It is a symbol that reflects the inevitable duality of all the things in the nature, a topic of debate and very common reflection in the Taoism. No quality is totally independent from his opposite one, nothing can be so absolutely pure that it does not contain a track of his opposite one, though it is in a minimal level: this concept is represented by the design of "yín" and the "yang", two separated forms, though very interlaced inside which we can find a point of his opposite (a white point inside the black zone and vice versa). It represents the life, with his good and bad aspects, his opposite sides.

Wings, a soul liberation

Wings symbolize the peace, the love, and the link between the land and the sky (between the human thing and the divine thing), a symbol of liberation. In the alchemy and the magic, wings are a symbol of the transformation, allowing to a person to accede to a new condition, which before was unattainable. The presence of the wings allows the combination of different elements, land and sky, wind and fire.

Wings combined with a symbol of the love, is one of the more popular motives of tattoo. For the mystics sufíes, the winged heart symbolizes the longing of the heart for reaching the skies. For the artists, it has been always one of the favorite metaphors, not only for the concept of "freedom", but also for the "protection” idea. In heraldry, the wings represent the value in his higher representation, acts that they defy to the death, or acts of great honor. An angel, with three couples of wings it represents the dignity, the glory and the honor.

El ancla, un icono para los marineros

Tatuarse un ancla no es una moda pasajera de hoy en día, es más, es uno de los dibujos que más se ha utilizado a lo largo de la historia del tatuaje moderno. Lo pusieron de moda los marineros y pescadores del siglo XX ya que, para ellos, tenía un gran poder simbólico.

Uno de los significados más importantes de los tatuajes de anclas es el vinculado al plano sentimental. Así como el ancla representa para el marinero la esperanza de retornar a salvo a casa y la confianza en el mar, esta simbología se traslada a los afectos siendo el ancla el vínculo que nos une a quienes queremos, que nos sujeta a esas personas que apreciamos. Así, es común ver tatuajes de anclas con nombres o iniciales y también que una pareja o amigas cercanos usen este símbolo para tatuarse, dejando en su piel grabado el afecto y apego que los une. También significa estabilidad pues el ancla es la que sujeta el barco a tierra para que no vaya a la deriva.
Aquí os muestro algunas fotos;

*En esta foto, el ancla simboliza la                   
 estabilidad de la pareja.
