*sigh* Why does it have to be called "alternative religion". Alternative to what? There’s a billion different religions in the world... And it’s amusing how they have the ankh as a ‘new age’ design. WTF? Anyway...

The Sila/Sheela represents the pathway into life. It looks funny and dirty to people now, but quite a few old religions worship the vagina and breasts because they have the power of creating and nurturing life. And see that fat little goddess statue they drew at the bottom? I have one of those.

Wombing, nice choice for a tattoo. You probably already know, but for those who don’t and are interested, the serpent eating its own tail represents the cycle of time, creation and destruction, birth and death. One is all, all is one.

And, in my defence, this post wasn’t meant to sound all know-it-all. I did briefly go searching but I didn’t find any galleries or anything like that. =/ When you do get the tattoo, post a picture of it!
