*** CHEST AREA ***
- I feel my chest area is a Cosmic Enigma to some, but I will break it down.
- A Warrior Angle with a Flaming Sword standing among the stars, planets of which one is exploding and an asteroid has been shattered by the power and force of the flaming sword.
- A Heart shaped Lock displaying that which has taken hold of and is forever locked within my heart. God, my Son Aaron, words which reflects me; Serenity, Courage and Wisdom, my career with the USMC and my title of MOGY365. However, it also reflects the mighty power of a Warrior Angel totally obliterating the name of one that was once kept secure there.
- Tribal Phoenix Tattoos:
- My (Inner Animal). One on each shoulder.
- The Phoenix is a Greek myth of a mythical bird which can periodically burn up and then regenerate from it's own ashes. It's the symbol of immortality by resurrection. To many a Phoenix represent a new beginning, that no matter how bad (hot) things may get, you will get back up on your feet (rise out of the ashes). Representing any time a crash & burn of an intimate relationship takes place...I am reborned into something new....stronger....better!
- Front Of Both Shoulders Egyptian Pharaoh Skull w/Ankh Symbol Tattoos:
- Pharaoh is an Egyptian ruler, king and at one point was also worshiped as a God.
- The Ankh is an Egyptian symbol for 'Life' or 'Eternal Life'. It is also a Vampyre symbol.
** Stomach **
- Stomach Warrior Angel w/ Vampre Symbol Tattoo:
- The Warrior Angle symbolizes protections and strength.
- The Vampyre symbolizes, among many things, Love, Romance, Power, Fantasy, Everlasting Life, Everlasting Desire, Everlasting Thirst, a true Predator, someone to be Feared by Foes. Vampyre spelled with a 'y' instead of an 'i' is one who needs the energy of others to keep themselves both healthy and sane, but they are nothing like the vampires you’ll read about in horror stories or fairy tales.
** Sides **
- Left Side Male Warrior Tattoo: How I see myself.
- Right Side Female Warrior Tattoo: How I see the type of woman I would love to have.
** Back**
- Full Sexy Tribal Back w/ Warrior King Sagittarius Centaur & His Queen and a Crown, Roses & Diamond Tattoo:
- Full Back Tribal Marks. For me, Tribal Marks represent internal pain made visible.
- The Crown is a symbol of royalty and status.
- The Rose is (and in particular, the blood-red rose) has come to be a symbol of love, of life and of blood. The thorns symbolize the pain, risk or threat of injury which can come with these associations. As a Vampyre symbol, it is a poignant and sentimental one.
- The Diamond is a symbol that represents status, strength, everlasting love, beauty, purity, and wisdom.
- The Warrior King is a symbol of royalty and strength. The king as a centaur represents my November 26th birth day zodiac sagittarius sign. The Centaur is a mythological creature. Its head, arms, and chest are those of a human and the rest of its body, including four legs, hindquarters, and a tail is like that of a horse. The centaur represent the struggle within each heart between good and evil, moderation and excess, passion and propriety, forgiveness and retaliation, belief and unbelief, god and beast. It is also the symbol of lust.
- The Warrior Queen is a symbol or royalty and strength. She rides nude bareback on the centaur as his lover. She represents beauty, purity, sensuality, sexuality and an object of desire.
** Left Arm **

- The lion is a symbol for strength, Courage, Power, Royalty, Dignity, Authority, Dominion, Justice, Wisdom and Ferocity. It is a lunar animal. This is how I see myself.
- Left Outer Arm Dragon & Sword Tattoo:
- The Dragon is the highest-ranking animal in the Chinese animal hierarchy, strongly associated at one time with the emperor and hence power and majesty. Dragons in the Orient are associated with wisdom and longevity. Asian dragons are usually associated with water in some way. In Chinese Kung-Fu it is a Southern Style. Southern Dragon Kung Fu. The dragon represented two of the ancient elements, Earth and Water, endowing the creature with powers of illusion and strength. A Yang symbol, the Taoists saw the dragon as a personification of the Tao itself "the Dragon reveals himself only to vanish." Shaolin Buddhists saw him as a vision of enlightened truth, to be felt, but never to be held. The dragon is also a modern symbol of the Vampyre.
- The Sword is said to be the emblem of military honor and should incite the bearer to a just and generous pursuit of honor and virtue. It is symbolic of liberty and strength. The sword (especially borne with flames) is also a symbol of purification. It is a symbol of a true warrior.

- The Ankh is the Egyptian symbol of life, also referred to as the Key of Life. It has also become a Goth/Vampyre symbol.
- The Eye of Horus is an ancient Egyptian symbol of protection, royal power and good health.
- Right Inner Arm Yin Yang Tattoo:
- KARMA The Yin and Yang of it. The Chinese philosophical symbol of Yin and Yang, pictured here, illustrates the one great Truth of the Universe that all things are held in balance, even this great globe upon which we minutely sit rests in space in a majestically circular state of finely balanced tension. Upset that tension and it will either readjust, or fall apart ! The same applies to such abstracts as good and evil, sound and silence, health and sickness, life and death they are all relative to each other, all depend upon each other, all finely balanced the one with the other.
Each one of us has a soul to keep in balance. Upset that balance with some foolish and hurtful misdeed and we spend a succession of lives re-establishing the Law of Opposites reaping that we have sown. The process of balancing is what we call Karma. It owes nothing to religion but relies upon knowledge and responsibility that we should (but usually don't!) have. We all have our own way of expressing the Law that controls the Law. We call it God, or Shiva, or Jehovah or even Buddha though the latter, possibly more than any other man was responsible for bringing the phenomenon to our notice and in truth is too historical to be made into a God.
- Full Sleeve Tribal Marks. For me, Tribal Marks represent internal pain made visible.
** Legs **
- Left Outer Calf USMC Devil Dog Tattoo:
- My (Inner Animal).
- "King of Mean" USMC Devil Dogs. The German Army coined this term of respect for U.S. Marines during World War I. In the summer of 1918 the German Army was driving toward Paris. The French Army was in full retreat. In a desperate effort to save Paris, the newly arrived U.S. Marines were thrown into the breach. In June 1918, in bitter fighting lasting for weeks, Marines repeatedly repulsed the Germans in Belleau Wood. The German drive toward Paris sputtered, fizzled, and died. Then the Marines attacked and swept the Germans back out of Belleau Wood. Paris had been saved. The tide of war had turned. Five months later Germany would be forced to accept an armistice. The battle tenacity and fury of the U.S. Marines had stunned the Germans. In their official reports they called the Marines "teufel hunden," meaning Devil Dogs, the ferocious mountain dogs of Bavarian folklore.
- Right Outer Calf Black Panther Tattoo:
- My (Inner Animal).
- The Panther represents power, strategy, and stealth, cunning, calculating and stalking. I'm the type of man that observes before acting and only reacts when the time is right. It is a symbol of ferocity and valor. It embodies aggressiveness and power. It is a lunar animal.
