Today, on the 4th of Pyanepsion, a day sacred to Aphrodite, Eros, Hermes, and Apollon (and more), I had this tattoo made.

It’s a laurel wreath on my right wrist. I chose this because it is a symbol of Hellenismos, and has strong ties to Ancient Hellas. Historically, wreaths were often prizes given to athletics for winning a match, race, or other sporting event (e.g. the Olympics).
The god Apollon is also often depicted wearing a laurel wreath on his head, and laurel is considered sacred to him.

The laurel wreath is a symbol of my religion, and this tattoo is therefore my way of showing my devotion to the Theoi. Each branch has thirteen leaves, one for each of the major Hellenic deities.
