Symbols you are curiously attached to

[rosac]

So, I have this thing with the symbol of an ankh, the Egyptian symbol for the key of life (if my shoddy knowledge of Egyptian writing is correct). I can't really justify why, but I have wanted to have an ankh tattooed on my left wrist for the past 2 years.

I also have an attachment to the number 27, ever since it was my designated team number on the volleyball team, and the 2 of hearts card. I have one in my passport to mark the relevant page, but I first got the card by being given it by my boss after he had found it on a bar table.

Are there any symbols/numbers that you are attached to and can't really explain why?

CAPTCHA: Stop wasting time. Shut up captcha, my revision can wait!

EDIT: out of interest, can anyone see my avatar? It's meant to be a guild wars skill symbol, but has vanished.

This symbol is just so cool and its iconic. Loved it from the first moment I saw it, the mark of Chaos from Warhammer 40k.

I can see your avatar OP, try refreshing the page or clearing your cache out if it hasn't appeared yet.

OT: I really like the infinity symbol, the concept of rebirth and renewal and all that, not really sure why...

Spoiler: Infinity Symbol

Iconic of the man with no superpowers...

Phwoaaaarrr yeah.

Huh, my first thought to that was "a waiter"... seriously, a head, one hand resting on the table and the other holding up a tray. It all makes sense now!

The ampersand.

Oooh. That gave me shivers. Let's see it a little bigger.

Spoiler

Phwoaaaarrr yeah.

By the way, the ampersand is a fancy way of writing "et", which is the Latin word for "and". Just thought that was a neat little fact.

OT: I really don't have any symbols that I'm attached to; or at least any that I can remember.

OT: err, I don't know. I guess the closest thing to this would be logos for things.

I've always loved the various glowing blue Forerunner symbols in Halo.

Guess I'm just a sucker for bright lights.

 

[Heronblade]

The five fold symbol, representing balance and unification in all things.

 

[Iwata]

The Imperial aquila from Warhammer 40k.

I have it tattooed on my back.

Come at me bro! Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the skull throne! Your false god is nothing compared to the might of Khorne!

 

[NemotheElvenPanda]

I guess horned god symbols resonate with me the most, or anything to do with Western European paganism, which is odd being Buddhist. Maybe it's the Celt in me.

Spoiler: Lightning icons like this

I just... I just love them! I can't explain it.

For me it is easily the Triquetra. It has had a few different meanings but I like to believe it means the unity of the mind body and soul.

Spoiler: I love the Watchmen smiley. It is iconic and well thought out on Alan Moore's part. For such a simple symbol, a smiley face with a drop of blood, it has a complex meaning. I even have the badge!

Me too! I'm thinking about getting one tattoed on each of my forearms... Maybe in a few years though. Damn money, why dost thou detest me so?

Aside from that, I like pentagrams. I'm not any kind of satanist or anything, I just think they're cool. And maybe because I've been a huge Anthrax fan for the last twelve years.

Spoiler: The Zerg Emblem. It looks kind of like a C, which is the first letter of my name

Spoiler: This ouroboros is pretty badass too. It's a symbol of death and rebirth, or infinity, and snakes are badass. If I were to get a tattoo, this would be it.
