Vampire security guard with a tattoo


At the airport security check, as I was emptying my pockets, taking off my belt and shoes, struggling to put everything on the conveyor, I was directed by a young Hungarian lady. I noticed a highly promiscuous tatoo on her forefoot -- it was very elegant and fresh, must have been done fairly recently. None of those faded countours you see at times. It looked like Arabic to me so I asked her about it. Ehm, excuse me, that thing on your foot... Ah, that's a tattoo, said she proudly. Is that some sort of script? She nodded and I asked if it was in Arabic. She said yes so I immediately asked what it meant. She explained that it was from the movie Blade. Yes, but what does it say? She did not answer that but repeated that it was from Blade, the movie about the vampires. I am one of them, she added with a smile.

Wow, that's quite a confession...

So when I got inside the terminal, I got online and searched for the Arabic design from Blade but all I could find was tribal tattoos of Wesley Snipes (see picture). Maybe someone else can help me out here.

But once on the subject, I noticed in the past week that a lot of young Hungarians had tattoos now. Of course, I spent a lot of time by the water and this is when you notice that people have tattoos. But still, the tattoo industry must have undergone an explosion in the past year. There is a lot of women with large, elaborate artwork on their back.
