Will to Power Tattoo Sketch

Part two of three of the Wills to Life.

Tattooed over the heart on my upper left chest, pretty far left. First ink in color.

This design is in reference to my heritage and family (blood running through the heart, and my having the last name Hart), especially my sister (also having a heart logo tattoo), as well as to the obvious emotional underpinnings of its title, in reference to Human Motivation.

The shaky, upward moving graph line within is not only representative of a single heartbeat, depicting the wonderment of life, but with an upward trending allusion to Human Evolution, Human Experience, and Human Understanding. The shape created by a graphed heartbeat is fractal in nature, another theme which runs across my tattoos.

"macht" refers to Friedrich Nietzsche's Wille zur Macht or Will to Power, suggesting that achievement, ambition, dominance, and the striving to reach the highest possible position or class in life is the most valuable goal for man.
