Well, It's not about worshipping a god of some sort. It's about the symbolism the image represents. Now this represents the personification of the ways I can bring an end to some of my suffering [demi God Garuda as a vehicle of Narai, who comes to alleviate human suffering] which for very personal reasons means a lot to me in my life right now. That moment will be frozen here for me to remember each time I see it.
When I got my first tat, I got it so other people would see it. I realize now that it is much more than that. The decision to permanantly mark your body changes you. If it is something that actually means something to you, it changes you profoundly. I got this one for me, not for the benefit of others. Make sense?
