I intend to have this:

tattooed on my upper back, with the tip of the beak just touching my lowermost cervical vertibrae (nape of the neck). I plan on doing this as soon as I can get my finances in order. The actual wingspan is 6 inches.
The crow is my adult totem, and the spirit wheel on the crow's upper back represents the totality of the universe. The crow, as a totem, represents the keeper of sacred law, the intermidary between the material and spiritual worlds, wisdom, insight, change, transformation, and personal growth.

Crows are the keepers of the Sacred Law
and to have a Crow totem is very powerful.
Personal Integrity are your watchwords
and your guide in Life.
If you have a Crow totem, your prime path
is to be mindful of your opinions and actions.
You must be willing to walk your talk,
to speak your truth and to know your life's mission.
Crow is a omen of Change.
Crow lives in the void and has no sense of time,
therefore, it sees past, present and future simultaneously.
Crow merges both light and dark, both inner and outer.
It is the totem of the Great Spirit
and must be respected as such.
They are symbols of creation and spiritual strength.
Look for opportunities to create and manifest the magic of life.
Crows are messengers calling to us
about the creation and magic that is alive in the world today
and available to us.
Basically, I want this tattoo as a way to unify the various parts of my cultural identity and personality. It speaks to my native american roots as well as to my present state of mind and way of life.
Oh, and it'll look damned good with a corset. Iamsogoth.
