I know that's been a joke, but I always thought of having a thistle getting blown in the wind like a dandelion. There's some imagery in their to convey new beginners and new journeys, like a phoenix being reborn.
I can't find it but recently saw it on a meme, lolbase type website. It was a picture of three 80y/o guys covered in full body tattoos with the a quote saying along the lines of:
I get asked what I would think of my tattoos at 80. I tell them I don't care. They ask me what I would do. I tell them I would hangout with other 80y/o tattoo'd guys shirtless looking bad*** while the world is filled with old generic people that all look the same.
I like Tribal, and i like the design, but as others have said, you'd be better off with a good 'sleeve'. Personally i think the best i've seen yet is the one George Clooney's character in 'From Dust Till Dawn' has.
Don't.
But what does it mean?
Don't.
