I got this tattoo 4 years ago. It’s on my right leg.
It’s a Macedonian Sun. (*edit* Make sure you read Michael’s second comment; very informative!)

Oh no! I didn’t know you had that, you’re on the wrong list on my page!
Any other mods I don’t know about?
It looks lovely by the way :)
Nope, that’s the only one I have MM. ;)
List, tell me more about the list. LOL
That’s usually the area I grab onto when I, um, …… ahhh…. Nevermind.
Great tat!
Nice! I wanted a tat when I was younger but never got it.
The Rosetta Stone software doesn’t teach Macedonian. Yet the actual Rosetta Stone was inscribed in three ways and two languages: Egyptian (in both hieroglyphic and demotic scripts) and Greek. According to The Museum of Antiquities Collection:
The Stone was discovered by Napoleon’s army in 1799 at Râshid (called Rosetta by Europeans) on the Nile Delta. Through the Rosetta Stone and other similar bilingual inscriptions scholars were able to decipher the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. The Ptolemaic rulers of Egypt, of whom Cleopatra was the last (died 30 B.C.), were of Macedonian origin, and spoke Greek.
According to Eight Wonders of Macedonia:
Discovered in Egypt in 1799, the writings on the Rosetta Stone date to 196 B.C. The text is transcribed in three languages, and the stone is considered a critical key to deciphering ancient script, especially the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt. Just last month Macedonian scholars said that the third language on the stone was Macedonian, and not a form of ancient Egyptian known as Demotic, as had been thought. It makes sense: the Macedonians ruled Egypt under Alexander the Great and his appointed regent, Ptolemy Sotir, founder of the last dynasty.

Macedonia isn’t just a byproduct of the break up of Yugoslavia. ;) And to think that I am coming home to my wife, who could be related to Cleopatra, is terribly exciting. You should all be so lucky!
love it!
Umm…I love you pointing to the 2nd Michael comment, but I’m still laughing at the first one. Interesting about the Demotic/Macedonian disagreement. It makes TOTAL sense.
AFF: the first comment = total man, thinking with penis. the second comment = man thinking and then using penis as thinking tool. LOL
lol I love the info from Michael..lol
I have a Wile E Coyote on my shoulder.
LOL… Michael has been very… ummm.. informative tonight.
