Symbolum Aeternus, the philosophy of powerful tattoos
A deep dive into your being — past, present, and future. From this journey, eight symbols may emerge, each with a purpose and a power. Then, an artwork is born. Get it on your skin. Be empowered forever.
THE PHILOSOPHY
SYMA is a way of imbuing tattoos with meaning, purpose and power, using the self and your personal myth as foundations.
It isn't about illustrating self and personal myth on skin—which could feel egocentric—but using them to discover the stories and art that would best empower you to live a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
THE SELF
Discovering and understanding cardinal aspects of your being—life story, personality, values, beliefs—is key in SYMA.
THE PERSONAL MYTH
The fundamental stories you tell yourself (consciously or not) to make sense and meaning of the world also play a major role.
WHO AM I? WHERE AM I GOING? WHY AM I GOING THERE?
Maybe understanding is enough, maybe change is necessary.
And to change the stories is to change your life.
What stories are you living?
I took it upon myself to get to know “my” myth, and I regarded this as the task of tasks…”
THE JOURNEY
1. Consultation
Discussion about your readiness and intentions, as tattoos require serious consideration and commitment.
2. Illumination
Psychological tests and contemplative exercises to illuminate your inner world.
3. Dialogues
A series of dialogues exploring your personal myth.
4. Revelation
Symbols with roots deep within your being begin to reveal themselves.
Eight may manifest, each bearing its own purpose and power.
5. Genesis
Your aesthetic tastes merge with the symbolic revelations, as we craft the visual language.
Then, a concept comes into existence.
6. Lexicon
Everything gets organized and documented.
7. Connection
We connect you with an excellent tattoo artist that fits your preferences and location.
8. Tattoo Design
The artist uses the SYMA Lexicon to create your tattoo design.

Your SYMA takes physical form through the art of tattooing.
