Scabbard Tattoo Meaning
Protection, restraint, containment, and power kept sheathed.
The Scabbard is power kept sheathed and at rest — the sheath that holds the blade safely, restraint made into an object, strength held but not drawn. To carry the Scabbard is to carry protection, restraint, containment, and power kept sheathed — the disciplined holding of a force in reserve, ready but at peace.
