I can't find a good resource for mayan logograms anywhere. I would have thought a logogram would have been a good choice rather than a syllabary-made word

I've heard you won't actually be able to get a tattoo done over a scar anyway.

Its a cluster of three quarter sized scars under my armpit, a 1 1/2in scar from the procedure under my shoulder blade and some smaller marks from the scope etc -- not planning on having it huge but there is space between them

Those are incorrect, if you wanted to be pedantic it would be 'inferior to the axilla/inferior to the scapula', its just beating a dead horse by now

Your sweat glands are subaxilliar, a puncture wound on your side is inferior to the axilla

And what point are you trying to drag on?

Oh damn, I clicked on that youtube link and now I got other songs from that damn band in my recommended sidebar on the youtube site. Not to mention that I listened to that crap in the first place.

I saw this post before I got to the context. I was hoping it'd be Ted Nugent. Oh well, maybe next time.

If you're having a problem finding an aesthetically pleasing scrap of Mayan, I would recommend getting some tribal tattoos in the area, or maybe something classy like the name of a dead relative surrounded by stars.

video is freaky good
medical story is quite frightening
Choosing a tattoo is something personal;
Some maya's glyphs would give a freaky frightening linguistic interest
Anything else is a crap...

(what about the date in maya transcription)
