What do you do when you're stuck in a foreign country with your friends? Get matching tattoos!! The stepped cross with four corners, ridged with three steps each is called the Inca cross or “Chacana”. The Chakana symbolizes the dynamic between the universe and the life it contains. The Inca believed that the Chakana was a bridge between the three worlds - the world of the gods, the physical realm of man, and the spiritual realm. I chose the Inca tattoo for my deep spirituality and connection to God and the universe, as a symbol of my love for my mother, whose name is Inca, and as a constant reminder of this epic trip to Peru with my friends - a trip in which I pushed myself beyond limitations I didn't think I was capable of surpassing. My first tattoo and I LOVEEEE it! Muchas gracias @luque.skywalker!!!
