Ollin Aztec Tattoo – Aztec symbol for the Day of Movement
I was born on the day of Ollin*, according to the Aztec calendar. The protector of this day is the god Xolotl (the Double, the Shapeshifter, the Evening Star, the Lord of the West).
I feel that it is a perfect symbol for me to have close to my heart, pretty much centered on my body. I have realised that 26 years have shaped me into the person I am today, and I am still evolving and growing and changing and I like who I am becoming. Adam, at Adrenaline in Vancouver, did a GREAT job, and even though it hurt like hell at times, he was really great about giving me breathing time.

*From www.azteccalendar.com:
Ollin is a day of the purified heart, signifying those moments where human beings may perceive what they are becoming. A good day for transmutation, which arrives like an earthquake that leaves in its wake the ruins of rationality, order and the preconceived.
