Seriously, could you put it in context? Where did you find it, for example.

[angel6m2000]

Idk thats why I'm asking. I found it in my tattoo folder but had no meaning on it and now idk where i found it. =/

Probably stands for something that has to do with infinity or immortality or something along those lines. It looks like it could be Hindi (East Indian) type of writing or symbols.

It also could possible be just a mirrored image from left to right. Maybe one of those little squiggles is a word?

Now that would speak to me, if I know it is my number and I was drawn to it, I would contemplate as to the reason...are you going to get a tat? Is Buddhism special to you?

[Solace733]

It could be the eightfold path?

It is the link between Source = the Sun and Earth below surrounded by the firmament. It is the omnipotent, omniscient knowledge that is our inheritance between ourselves and our one true Source..Light.

Thats amazing. thank you for sharing that.

The 8 looks like a vertical lemniscate, the infinity symbol. The squiggles do not remind me of anything except snakes, lol. The dots are also symbolic of something.
