Atheist Transhumanism Tattoo

Description

Okay so this one takes some explaining.

In the center is the IPU symbol - the atheist symbol
Surrounding that, is a trefoil knot symbolizing "immortality"
Right: 余 - yo, meaning "over" or "more than"
Left and encircled: よ - yo, meaning "over" or "more than"
Upper Left: 人- hito, meaning "human being" or "mankind"
Bottom and encircled: ひと - hito, meaning "human being" or "mankind"
Bottom Left: 天 - Ten, meaning "sky" or "heaven," also used a symbol representing "immortality"
Top right and encircled: ひ - Hi, meaning "Fire," "Light," "Day," or "Sunlight." Representing the dawn of a new era

The reason I made the と smaller was to enhance the focus on the ひ. So that there would be two "ひ"s and a "よ". Or rather two "U"s and "d." Representing as in quarks, two up quarks and one down quark, which equals a proton. As we know one proton is written H+. The symbol for transhumanism is H+, meaning Humanity plus. For those that are "More than human." One of the goals of transhumanism is "immortality."

It all comes pretty full circle on this one.

I designed this myself:

Cool but I wish I knew what it meant. I'm an Atheist and a Transhumanist
