Passing them through the millenniums, they connected the present with the future. Such a tattoo will give a puzzle and wisdom to its owner.
2. The Greek Sphinx externally differs from the Egyptian, it has a female head and a dog's body with bird's wings. It was this mythical animal who was asking a question that no one could answer and was deprived of for this life. The image value also differs - it symbolizes the dark side, destruction, demons. The image of this sphinx on the body will give aggression and strength to the possessor.

I had a Sphynx at one time, his name was Yoda. I had to get him for allergy reasons and they are the most amazing, but needy cats alive. I will own another one day. This picture is lovely. Thanks for sharing.
