Infinity
Tattoos - neverending possibilities of manifesting yourself. This
tattoo design is best described as a figure eight on its side, it is
used to denote that which is limitless and without boundary or end. The
symbol as a tattoo would stand for the state or quality of being
infinite. The concept of infinity first appeared as a mathematical
conceit and was quickly adopted by philosophers. Historically and
culturally, the infinity symbol is similar to mythological creatures
such as Ouroboros, the snake that consumes its tail and is a creature
without end. Circles and loops are reminiscent of the idea of life being
conceived as an eternal, often times seasonal cycle, that endlessly
repeats itself. In many eastern religions and belief systems the idea of
endless reincarnation and planes of existence is similar.
