Waiting for the Punchline

fuckyeahtattoos:

This is my first tattoo, and it will probably be my most personal. The lyrics are, for one, by my favorite band, Hundredth. I got it in memory of my dad. He isn’t dead, but he might as well be to me. When i was younger, he was my hero, and i was his little girl. i did absolutely everything with him. He is the whole reason i have such intense passion for music and art, but he is also the reason for a lot of negatives. i spent most of my childhood with him. He and my mom divorced when i was around 4 years old. Even after that i loved him because I never really knew why they did or my why my whole family hated him. i didn’t know anything. But when i got older i found out. He would beat the hell out of my mom, getting her down on the floor and kicking her in the ribs laughing in her face. He treated my two older brothers like dirt just because they weren’t his. he emotionally scarred my mom, and she didn’t deserve it. he is re-married with two sons who don’t even know i exist and my step-mom hates me. For a long time i thought i was a burden to my mom and two brothers, because if it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t have had to go through what they did.

Everything about me is from him, which i can’t change, but i can change how i live my life. i haven’t seen him in a little over 4 years and I’m nothing like him. I love my mom and two brothers more than anything in this world. My two brothers got me a tattoo for Christmas and i wanted this to be the one they were there for, because i did it for them, my mom, and myself. 

It was done at Tattoo FX in Owensboro Ky by Jim, he did more than perfect, it is exactly what i wanted. <3

Nokhur Graveyard by Carpetblogger on Flickr.

At the cemetery of the isolated village of Nokhur, nearly every grave is marked by a wooden post adorned with the horns of a mountain goat. They are thought to fight off evil spirits, and help the soul of the deceased to ensure a safe passage to heaven. Aside from their appearances at the village cemetery, skulls of mountain goats are found at some of the houses’ doorways of the village as well.

The Nokhuris, the mountain tribe of the region, have always considered mountain goats sacred animals, admiring their strength and endurance. The reverence of mountain goats clearly predate Islamic traditions, and although today the Nokhuris are devout Muslims, parts of the ancient belief system has continued to survive.

The cemetery of Nokhur is an excellent example of how Islam works in Central Asia. Other than in the Middle East where the arrival of Islam virtually erased all traces of pre-Islamic religions, in Central Asia certain parts of pre-Islamic belief systems have simply been incorporated into the newly arrived religion, creating a syncretism often symbolized in the burial rites of local tribes.
