Looks like a nude, hogtied person. PS I am bad at Rohrschach tests.

a right-handed person high-fiving a left-handed person or vice-versa

Totally looks like some Jeezo shit to me.

shouldn't a high-five emoji just be one hand and then the person you are textually high-fiving can provide the other hand?

yeah that's diving light emanating there, not like high-five power strike energy lines, c'mon

divine light rather

But srsly I always took it for prayer of some kind

Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 1 August 2014 19:32 (nine years ago) link

it could be both, I can imagine a religion where people pray by high-fiving each other or their god

What is prayer but high-fiving yourself?

You got your left hand
You got your right hand
You got your left hand
You got your right hand

While the left hand diddling
While the right hand goes to work
I said the left hand diddling now
While the right hand go to work

You got both hands
You got both hands
You got praying hands
You got praying hands

They pray for no man
They pray for no man
Okay relax, and assume the position
Go into doggie submission

Wash your hands three times a day
Always do what your mom and dad say
Brush your teeth in the following way
Wash your hands three times a day

Real truth

Prayer hands clearly, I guess I might have been influenced by the order of the thread title since I hadn't come across this before. I am also an unrepentant "viking at sleep" voter so we'll see how this one goes.

So many tattoos have convinced me praying hands are best depicted at a different angle

I swear I'll never get over anyone thinking its "i'm a viking at the act of sleeping". These things are like fricking rorschact tests.

nine years pass...

it's prayer, there's beams of light around the hands, suggesting a divine presence, or shoddy carpentry in the home
