My tattoo drawing

I drew this in reference to one of my many favorite books called, Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. I learned what the ouroboros was after reading it and I love its meaning so much. It really resonates with me. And one of the quotes to describe the ouroboros was "Life after death. Creation from destruction." And it symbolizes life, death and rebirth.
