Amphisbaena

[smokingboot]

I'm thinking about the tatts I may need. I asked Bro his thoughts. Randomly he told me I should go for an amphisbaena. It took me less than 10 seconds to say no, because while I like snakes, I see no reason for a two headed one. I think it's fair to say that of all the beastly characteristics I've had attributed to me, my only snaky attributes include my adoration of heat and light. Pliny might disagree if feeling snarky;
"The amphisbaena has a twin head, that is one at the tail end as well, as though it were not enough for poison to be poured out of one mouth."
I see. Cheers Bro.
Still, there are a couple of cute amphisbaena images out there. This (https://www.redbubble.com/i/art-board-print/Amphisbaena-by-Bekssketches/37241938.7Q6GI )
would work better as inspiration than the Mansee for all its drama; (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-headed_serpent#/media/File:Double_headed_turquoise_serpentAztecbritish_museum.jpg) but I think my favourite is this (https://www.mexicolore.co.uk/images-aus/aus_36_01_2.jpg) because the serpent looks so absolutely gormless and the chap's side eye is perfection.

How big is the area you want to cover?

I might go with a perfume vial given your love of scents. There are some nice ones out there:

There are going to be two areas, one under the arm, one across the breast. They are likely to be long horizontal scars but I don't know how long yet.

Beautiful perfume bottle, and yes, it would be a great theme for me! I love everything about it!

I do like the gormless snake but yeah, not really you.

Quite right, not me at all!

Tbh, I think my brother just wanted to use the word 'amphisbaena' in a conversation :-D
