So, it is approaching.

Oh, that's funny. My nullification surgery is scheduled exactly that day. I wasn't aware of this special date when looking for my surgery date. But could there be a better way to celebrate the international Eunuch day as to become a nullo? :)

I've always wanted to get a tattoo to declare my status ever since I was done but could never decide on an appropriate symbol and it's placement. Maybe March 24th is the time for eunuchs wishing to celebrate the day by getting one. It wouldn't have to be large, perhaps Just an "E" with the last two digits of the year they were changed. Any ideas on eunuch-suited tattoos and do others here feel this is a good way to recognize the day? There's still time to plan for one.

I've always been uncertain if that sign represents a nullo and should instead be the male symbol with a line through the ball for someone castrated but who still has his penis.

Those would be perfect ways to celebrate the day publically with audiences of potentially interested men and any fans of castration watching the free geldings close up each year ! Men could plan on it being available to watch, ask questions, talk with the freshly cut steers, talk with the previous years steers, and meet other fans each year. Watching other men get castrated and then thinking about it for a year before the next free group harvest would be a good waiting period that men could plan on. A yearly event would correspond with most serious men s growing desires over time to think more and more seriously about getting castrated. Becoming more eager every year to get themselves gelded to move into their next life stages as steers or emasculated past breeders.

A half-off orchie would defeat the purpose, though.😄

The half off sale would be 2 for the price of one. Or bring a buddy and get 4 for the price of 2. Even a half gelding would attract a lot of wanna bees. Or get your whole Frat or team gelded for half the usual costs.

In Wisconsin cats get a tattoo on their belly as a means to record they are neutered. Don't know if other states or countries do that. Just got two new cats to replace "Prince and Tiger" who both got leukemia, both new cats have tattoo's on their bellies.

This is good information as it will be my first year to celebrate following my nullification surgery. I kinda like the symbols shown above.

Several years ago I went to a tattoo parlor to ask about getting a small, traditional eunuch symbol tattooed on my my ass but she told me perfect circles are hard to accomplish on that part of the body because the skin eventually sags there. So I never went ahead at the time, not having what I thought would be another suitable place for it. I'm still desirous to get one, but where?

I'm leaning toward the modified Mars sex symbol with the severed spear, which seems to be the more established sign for a eunuch of the two shown above.

Do any other eunuchs or members have suggestions?

I always wanted to just get "EUNUCH" in all big caps old English letters in arch across top of my back. That way everyone at beach and whenever I had my shirt off would know I'm castrated and no balls between legs. Not sure if I could ever find an ink master that would be willing to do that tho.

That s because cat balls are tough to see if they are castrated or not. Us men and dogs its obvious if we have balls or not in our low hanging scrotums.

I think a combination of both tattoos is what I want the broken male symbol with a red diagonal line across it. What do you think

Sorry I'm late to the party- I'm just noticing this thread- Is March 24th really International Eunuch Day? What's the history behind it?

If this is in fact true, I'll be happily marking my calendar for next year.

March 24th was celebrated in ancient Rome as Dies Sanguinis (or the Day of Blood), the date on which the acolytes of the goddess Cybele, the Mother of the Gods, castrated themselves to become priests and to serve the goddess. Some theologians believe that Dies Sanguinis was the model for the holiday of Good Friday - a Christian day of blood.

Followers of Cybele believed that Attis castrated himself and died on the 24th. For the ancient Romans, however, it was the following day, March 25th, that was the day of resurrection. Attis was reborn on a day of grand celebration -- Hilaria, the Day of Joy.

As Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, the Papal Basilica of Saint Peter at the heart of the Vatican was erected on the site of the most important temple to Cybele (the foundations of which can reputedly still be seen in the Vatican basement). The site where the testicles of the new eunuch priests of the Mother of the Gods were interred was covered by the Christians with the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore - the great church erected to the Mother of Christ.

The faith dedicated to the Mother of the Gods was the greatest rival to early Christianity and the triumphant Christians tried to bury its major shrines and temples under Christian monuments throughout the empire. Many early Christian churches contain remnants of Cybele and her faith.

Some Christian theologians argue that Paul's Epistle to the Galatians, in which he stated that Christians did not need to be circumcised, was a reaction to the castration of followers of Cybele. Galatia was the center of her worship in the Roman Empire and castration and circumcision were equated in Roman law of the time.
