so I'm getting a tatto on my wrist, and I thought about getting a series of runes. The ones I want are uruz, wunjo, ihwaz, ansuz, & perth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runewww.sunnyway.com/runes/meanings.html I've thought about it, and the symbols take on special meaning for me, but just to be sure I'd like to ask you guys if there is any mystical/aesthetic reason to not get these runes or have them in that order. Any objections?

Is there ever a reason not to decorate your temple..
Tattoos in Ajah have very important religious and spiritual contexts. Many times they are patterned specifically around which deity is to be honored and placed accordingly on a part of the body related to the deity being worshiped. Since before the beginning people have been marking themselves with the signs of their dieties. On the outer level of meaning, they are trying to gain the strengths and abilities of the diety. On a more inner and mystical level, diety tattoos mean that the bearer has a close and mysterious relationship with this image of spirit as his tattoos are permanent way to honor the one self. Tribal people believe that the spirit is an exact replica of the human body. This matches many modern belief of the astral body. In both cases, spirit and astral, this allows you to use the proper tattoos as a rite of passage in the spirit world. The people of Borneo, especially the Kayans, believe that not only would their tattoos get them into the proper spirit world, but could also be used as a further qualification, for obtaining certain profitable occupations in the spirit world.
The Ajah knows that the body is the temple for the soul
To decorate and adorn your body in sacred images, and healing mantras is to pay homage to the God (spirit) within the Goddess (Nature)
Ajah can be tattooed for various reasons but they are usually religious reasons, such as talismans, tributes to the gods and or to act as a connection to the divine.
