Lynn, Týr, and the Fenris Wolf

I met Lynn in my neighborhood over the summer as she was headed to <a href="http://www.greenspany.com/services.html">Green Spa & Wellness Center</a>, where she works as a massage therapist. She has a ton of ink, and shared the piece that dominates her right arm:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbSLAZKhGzszuP9jMnVpVuGaYmHUkeRXEw8VUb40bmBXxMr0dQtpLdHHvLe_8RT3gW2j4Btg-b3kmiaz3x3d2AswenniA31ZXtj8Zhb4myB7lJvxevcxJLgPgSHIHho64Usr_Z5XuUfQg/s1600/Tyr.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbSLAZKhGzszuP9jMnVpVuGaYmHUkeRXEw8VUb40bmBXxMr0dQtpLdHHvLe_8RT3gW2j4Btg-b3kmiaz3x3d2AswenniA31ZXtj8Zhb4myB7lJvxevcxJLgPgSHIHho64Usr_Z5XuUfQg/s1600/Tyr.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br />Lynn explained that this piece depicts the Norse god <a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_35469710">T</a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_35469710">ý</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%C3%BDr">r</a> and the <a href="http://www.mythicalcreaturesguide.com/page/Fenris+Wolf">Fenris wolf</a>.<br /><br />She elaborated:<br /><blockquote>"Týr got his hand bitten off by the Fenris wolf to prevent chaos from entering the world ... I kind of identify with that because I do massage therapy. I help people ... I injured myself helping people -  I'm right-handed ... it's not quite the same thing, but [it's] the whole idea of self-sacrifice. You know, the greater good."</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Twtej_4_KidVzEuk3vaGN8TCovNK8YFygz76_6oUg7Dij095QUk9bH3wBf5dimwwGfyrDg7LyGuBfju09WPgQBMYVSz7NfPUYDyLD49wOyucM4AvdrbSivX2R0lTY98HFkj8SITbvhY/s1600/wolf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Twtej_4_KidVzEuk3vaGN8TCovNK8YFygz76_6oUg7Dij095QUk9bH3wBf5dimwwGfyrDg7LyGuBfju09WPgQBMYVSz7NfPUYDyLD49wOyucM4AvdrbSivX2R0lTY98HFkj8SITbvhY/s640/wolf.jpg" width="291" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi05vIqW-WsKjLp1MJGGe21iZ3FFIvnBjbn5DjwTYqd9Kqy1F6znmYgFh_AOXG1j8zyeCQ9PYSPwzlHr1BcAlOh0RR8TgatoO9spyouGVsgzImL5OpSfDJVoUeyOw6JmWPMWwmFL8HzWis/s1600/Tyr+closeup.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi05vIqW-WsKjLp1MJGGe21iZ3FFIvnBjbn5DjwTYqd9Kqy1F6znmYgFh_AOXG1j8zyeCQ9PYSPwzlHr1BcAlOh0RR8TgatoO9spyouGVsgzImL5OpSfDJVoUeyOw6JmWPMWwmFL8HzWis/s640/Tyr+closeup.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />Lynn credits <a href="http://www.brooklyntattoo.com/willie.html">Willie Paredes</a>, co-owner of <a href="http://www.brooklyntattoo.com/">Brooklyn Tattoo</a>, with creating this piece.<br /><br />Thanks to Lynn for sharing her tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">This entry is ©2011 Tattoosday. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: x-small;">If you are reading this on another web site other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
