SHANNON'S TATTOOS
PERSON IN CIRCLE
I found some info about the design behind one of Shannon's tattoos.
I was reading a book called "The Scared Wisdom of the American Indians"
by Larry J. Zimmerman. This book is available here: Amazon
Here's the caption for this image:
Spindle whorls were used by coast Salish people during spinning
to prevent the wool from slipping from the spindle. This wooden whorl
is decorated with a human figure in a fetal position, a common
motif in Northwest Coast design, and two others.
