Double headed eagle tattoo?
The double-headed eagle is a common symbol in heraldry and vexillology. It is most commonly associated with the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. In Byzantine heraldry, the heads represent the dual sovereignty of the Emperor (secular and religious) and/or dominance of the Byzantine Emperors over both East and West. In the Holy Roman Empire's heraldry, it represented the Church and the State. Several Eastern European nations adopted it from the Byzantines and continue to use it as their national symbol to this day, the most prominent being Russia.

what should i do when i am board?
...well... you could draw, do calligraphy, write(doesn't have to be poetry, song or novel, a simple list does the trick just fine), try digital painting on your PC via apps like Krita, FireAlpaca, Gimp2, Paint.Net, even MS Paint (might help to own a "drawing pad"), write your nickname in funny Unicode characters, you could play some of your games or try new ones! In the case of videogames, if you don't want to spend money nor search for cracked games or emulate ROMs, you may try free-to-play games(mmmh... Hedgewars...?) or browse some Abandonware titles (Airfix Dogfighter, Crimson Skies, Zoo Tycoon & Zoo Tycoon 2, to name a few), & the internet has a few websites with free boardgames too(even the "Royal Game of Ur")! You could search for various stuff on the internet, look up heraldry, vexillology, instruments of various areas & eras, various odd aircrafts & vehicles in general, odd houses, obscure locations on earth, limited recognition countries that don't appear on the map, look videos showcasing the visual effects of old computer viruses, videos of Gotcha the (Moluccan) cockatoo or Vinny the Galah, listen to historic national anthems or the anthems of cities/regions/ethnicities/territories/federal states... the website AncientOrigins has some neat archaeological stuff! And, did you know about the "sea of stars" fenomenon that occurs on Vadhoo island,Maldives? Or about Agloe, the made-up town that somehow came to existance? These two are covered on the website AtlasObscura! Did you know about this other website, radio.garden, which allows you to listen radio stations from the whome globe in real time, from Svalbard to the Falklands & from St.Helena to Tahiti? Or perhaps how about browsing a selection of useless websites? Typing of, did you know you can literally design a webpage by using the notepad.exe that's on your computer? Just look up how to make a website or how to code in HTML! You could try making one in the fashion of the old Geocities websites... or you could use one of the online website-builders(but I prefer notepad. Note : after you're done you'd then have to find someone hostγg it, such as Wordpress, Neocities which was supposed to rievoke the old Geocities, the NEW Geocities.ws, 000Webhost, Infinity Free, AwardSpace, FreeHostia). Maybe you're tired of your country & wish you could run your own? Dwelve into Micronationalism! You'd get to design your own flag/s & coat/s of arms too! Speaki-erm, typing of, you could very well come up with coats of arms of fictious countries & other entities(including your own made-up stuff), fictious characters, real people even!(it's called "attributed heraldry"). You could make a conlang(constructed language) &/or make up an alphabet or syllabary, you could try making your own font (useful tools are Calligraphr, Birdfont, Fontstruct), you could edit sprites via MS Paint (&/or other image editing programs of choice), make your own from scratch, learn to animate your drawings/paintings/spritework & make either videos or just simple looped .GIFs (or .APNGs, those also exist, surprisingly)... oh, writing or reading a textwall on the internet, those are ALSO options ;Γ
What to do when you are bored?
You stop waiting for someone else to tell you what to do and you figure out for yourself what to do. Make a list of things you would like to learn to do. Would you like to learn to draw? Jump rope? Shoot baskets? Sing? Learn French? You have access to a computer. You can learn a foreign language. Make a list of what you want to do. You are bored because you have not yet taken control of your own life. You are sitting and waiting for life to come to you.
