I think I found it...

I was online today looking up Yule; traditions, celebrations, customs, the Yule Log, etc. and I found this Pagan symbol:

I think this is my next tattoo!!

Here's what it is and the meaning behind it:
The Triple Horn of Odin is made of three interlocking drinking horns, and represents Odin, the father of Norse gods. The horns are significant in the Norse eddas, and feature prominently in elaborate toasting rituals. In some stories, the horns represent the three drafts of the Odhroerir, a magical mead.

Mom's side of the family is Scandinavian so this would be fitting for me. And hey, I do like to drink....

I have been thinking of getting another tat and I've decided I want to get a Celtic knot arm band. Thought I had found a design I liked, but then I saw a picture of someone with the exact one I want... so now I think I'll wait.

So, where should I put it? Since I want to get the arm band on my right bicep I was thinking about putting this on my calf.... I want it where I can see it, so my back and shoulder blade is out. And I have something else in mind for my pec muscle... so I think the calf is the best place. Anyone have a better idea...??

Interesting... I was just looking up Yule logs the other day as well. We are doing the 12 days of Christmas for a couple families in our neighborhood, and I thought about giving them a Yule log to burn on Christmas Eve. That is, until I figured out neither has a fire place :(
Hope all is going well. Love Ya, Det
