Subject: Four Element Tattoos
I was thinking that Kyle (my brother), Joe, Tom (Joe's brother), and me should all get a tattoo symbolizing a different element, and it would sort of bond all of us. We talked a little about it but here is just something I came up with.

Well here are the four elements and definations:

Fire: (Kevin)

Definition: Alchemical symbol for fire. One of the four alchemical elements, Fire has the properties hot and dry, and symbolizes emotions. In alchemical tradition, the elemental spirits of fire are Salamanders.

Water: (Tom)

Definition: One of the four alchemical elements, water has the properties cold and moist, and symbolizes intuition. In ritual magick and Wicca, the elemental spirits of water are Undines.

Air: (Joe)

Definition: Alchemical symbol for air. One of the four alchemical elements, Air has the qualities of coolness and dryness, associations with breath, life, communication, and the holy spirit. In the Latin Alchemical language, it is Flatus, gas. In Ritual Magick and Kabbalah, it is the element overseen by the Archangel, Raphael. The ruler of Air is Peralda, and the elemental spirits associated with air are Sylphs. In Astrology, it rules the signs Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra. The elemental sybols are derived from the hexagram.

Earth: (Kyle)

Definition: Alchemical symbol for earth. One of the four alchemical elements, earth has the properties cold and dry, and symbolizes physical sensation. In esoteric tradition, earth represents the manifestation of matter.

and here is kind of what I was thinking....

Fire:
Water:
Air:
Earth:

Of course you can make yours however you want but this was just a thought, and Joe is the only one that claimed air, after reading fire I was surprized to see it mention emotion... Tom and Kyle just kind of picked like they didn't care, then again me and Joe don't think they will do it anyway.

You like this idea or do you have your own? I'm sure its more up to us than our brothers.

Yeah actually I really do. Because they're all pretty uniform in a way, with the triangle theme, yet different in their own ways. i was afraid we'd each get an element but they'd be different in design and wouldn't look that cool, i.e. someone got a wrap around of water and the person who got rock would just get like a stone on the middle of their arm or something, it wouldnt make sense. but these look like they're connected. i like a lot
