Tattoo!



It has now entered the itchy stage. Yay me.

Transliterated, the whole thing reads, "Megalunei e psyche mou ton kurion kai egalliasen to pneuma mou epi to theo to soteri mou." Gradually, I'm getting better at saying that, since quite a few people ask what it says. (There are two kinds of 'e's and 'o's, since epsilon and eta, and omicron and omega, are pronounced differently.)

Of course, a lot of people don't seem to know quite how to react to it, too.

Does it wrap around in four individual bands, or is it a spiral?

Also, I highly approve. :)

It's a helix! (Yes, I'm anal-retentive about the distinction, since I did my thesis on helical antennas!)

Also, thanks!

There's a question.

What's the difference between helices and spirals, anyway...? One is finite and the other isn't, one angles into the center of the outlying circle and the other doesn't, or...?

That's right, I know the correct plural form for helix, but not the difference between a helix and a spiral, lol. XD
