Kaci Shares Her Skytree Tattoo

I met Kaci on Seventh Avenue in the fall, close to 14th Street. She was walking by me in the opposite direction and I had to ask her about the tattoo on her right leg:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRX7LvHejEcBbqYxSTCw0B-QYebcA8cWcT0L1JYy63l3GqmUEzKXVAkF0tr5_1fLWo1nsq0rmwv1JF6bU2Jt1juoGB0jRmOgNFw4AmSjFUxMeY_9kroP29Zvd6DtG7kERf8nwY4WSTyy8/s615/IMG_0724.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRX7LvHejEcBbqYxSTCw0B-QYebcA8cWcT0L1JYy63l3GqmUEzKXVAkF0tr5_1fLWo1nsq0rmwv1JF6bU2Jt1juoGB0jRmOgNFw4AmSjFUxMeY_9kroP29Zvd6DtG7kERf8nwY4WSTyy8/s640/IMG_0724.JPG" width="353" /></a></div><br />Kaci told me that this is an illustration of <a href="http://he-man.wikia.com/wiki/Skytree">Skytree</a>, a character in the <a href="http://www.he-man.org/">He-Man</a> story.<br /><br />Having absolutely no general understanding of the narrative, Kaci gave me an abbreviated version of the significance for her:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"I just really like the story, it's Skytree. He's the oldest living thing in the world and He-Man has to destroy him to save <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She-Ra">She-Ra's</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Randor#King_Randor">father</a> ... [and is] frozen and is held captive by this dragon who's the second oldest thing in the world ... He-Man finds out that Skytree basically gives life to everything else in the world so [He-Man] refuses to cut him down and goes back to the dragon dude and is basically <i>he didn't do it</i>. [The Dragon says]  <i>You're the only one that's opposed me and showed some faith in humanity so I'll release [him] anyway</i>."</blockquote>Kaci got this at <a href="http://www.blackhivetattoo.com/">Black Hive Tattoo</a> in Jacksonville, Florida, crediting artist <a href="http://www.imaginationsquared.com/bios/col_41_to_60/col58bios/gary_doyle.html">Gary Doyle</a>. He's no longer on the Black Hive Tattoo site, so it appears he has moved on.<br /><br />Thanks to Kaci for sharing this cool tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!<br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><br /></span><b id="internal-source-marker_0.8384445684496313" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2013 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are seeing this on another website other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.
