First-timers Love Armband Tattoo Designs
Armband tattoos are very popular with people getting tattoos for the first time. On one hand, these tattoos have become somewhat of a fashion statement, and that puts them in high demand. On the other hand, they can be hidden under most short-sleeved or long-sleeved shirts, so they are suitable for individuals who may need to fit into a conservative social or professional environment.
Another reason that armband tattoos stand out to first-timers is their ability to be created as feminine, masculine, or gender neutral designs. The many options that armband tattoos present gives those who aren't absolutely sure about what kind of tattoo they want the ability to experiment just a bit.
Armband tattoos seem to be universally accepted by the entire tattoo community. From bikers and sports icons to corporate gurus and exotic dancers, there seems to be an armband design acceptable for all trades. Its possibilities are seemingly endless.
Some of the more frequently sought after armband designs include Celtic knots, tribal patterns, Hawaiian themes, floral arrangements, dragons, snakes, and other serpents, feathers, and Native American patterns. Armbands can be adapted into nearly available style.
Armband tattoos are usually inked on the upper arm, at the widest part of the bicep. And while the outside portion of the upper arm can be one of the least painful parts of the body to get a tattoo, the inner upper arm can be a bit more sensitive.
Many people have been led to assume that the sensitive nature of this area has caused some individuals to accept incomplete tattoos. But, it is quite the contrary. Because the shape of the arm changes as the arm is rotated, only tattoo artists extremely adept at armband tattoos can actually make the two ends of a band meet due to the fluctuations in the arm as it moves.
Many first-timers new to tattooing quickly get addicted and choose to complement their armband tattoo designs with a wristband or and ankleband tattoo. With these, too, the possibilities are almost endless and are only limited by the confines of the imagination of the one choosing the art.

Quetzalcoatl ("feathered snake") is the Aztec name for the Feathered-Serpent deity of ancient Mesoamerica, one of the main gods of many Mexican and northern Central American civilizations.
The name "Quetzalcoatl" literally means quetzal-bird snake or serpent with feathers of the Quetzal (which implies something divine or precious) in the Nahuatl language. The meaning of his local name in other Mesoamerican languages is similar.
The Maya knew him as Kukulkna; the Quiche as Gukumatz. The Feathered Serpent deity was important in art and religion in most of Mesoamerica for close to 2,000 years, from the Pre-Classic era until the Spanish Conquest.
Gukumatz was a culture hero who taught the Toltecs, and later the Maya, the arts of civilization, including codes of law, agriculture, fishing and medicine. He came from an ocean, and eventually returned to it. According to Mayan legend, Gukumatz will return to the Earth during the End Times. He also represents the forces of good and evil, similar to the ying-yang paradigm of Oriental religions.
Gukumatz was a god of the four elements of fire, earth, air and water, and each element was associated with a divine animal or plant:
Air — Vulture
Earth — Maize
Fire — Lizard
Water — Fish

Dragons
Sometimes serpents and dragons are used interchangeably, having similar symbolic functions. The venom of the serpent is thought to have a fiery quality similar to a fire spitting dragon. The Greek Ladon and the Norse Níðhöggr (Nidhogg Nagar) are sometimes described as serpents and sometimes as dragons. In Germanic mythology, serpent (Old English: wyrm, Old High German: wurm, Old Norse: ormr) is used interchangeable with the Greek borrowing dragon (OE: draca, OHG: trahho, ON: dreki). In China, the Indian serpent nāga was equated with the lóng or Chinese dragon. The Aztec and Toltec serpent god Quetzalcoatl also has dragon like wings, like its equivalent in Mayan mythology Gukumatz ("feathered serpent").
Is there some reason for the plethora of closed threads on metatalk recently ? Either were having a run of terrible posters or the mods are becoming rather hypervigilant – let us either pelt these posters with tomatoes or force the mod annoyer to apologise for annoying the mods. Does no one realise the elemental powers these mods possess ? They can direct bolts of meta lightning from their meta fingertips. At our meta golf clubs. As we are meta holding them. Or are these closed threads a sign that metafilter is nearing its end ?
