Written by: Jaclyn Popola

Of the thirteen tattoos I have permanently inked onto my skin for all time, four of them contain words or phrases. There's a single word on my lower stomach that hails from the Elvish language created in the "Lord of the Rings" saga by J.R.R. Tolkien, "wake your dreams" is on the back of my neck, "i only want now" is located on my lower back, and a Polish quote that means "anything I could desire, I already have" wraps around my upper bicep. As an avid reader and obsessive writer, I have maintained a love affair with the written word since learning how to read at age four. No matter how many times I tell myself, "Okay, my next tattoo is going to be an image", I always seem to end up getting more words.

We use words to convey meaning and express desire, to give solace and provide comfort, to impact and inspire. Getting someone's name tattooed can be a permanent memorial of a loved one who has passed away; inking the initials of your partner's name on your body can represent your eternal committment to one another; a quote from a favorite book or movie can serve as a daily reminder to live the ideals expressed in that particular saying.

And with so many different languages in the world, the possibilities are endless. Famous actress Angelina Jolie has a Pali incantation written in Khmer, the native language of her adopted son's birthplace, Cambodia. Others choose Japanese "kanjii" characters to represent the word or phrase they want to display. Keep in mind, however, that if you get a tattoo in a different in a place that is easily visible to passersby, you will constantly be asked the same question over and over again without fail: "What does your tattoo mean?"

If you're thinking about getting a tat, keep in mind that ideas are all around us at any given moment. If you have a favorite song lyric, instead of getting the actual words, think about getting the corresponding music notes or guitar tabs. If you're interested in getting yours or someone else's name, select a fancy font like Old English to make it interesting. Binary and barcode tattoos are also very popular right now because websites like Nickciske.com can be used to turn words and phrases into a series of numbers that only you will be able to understand. I am constantly on the lookout for new tattoo ideas, and currently I am considering two in particular: a quote by artist Kurt Halsey tattooed on my wrist that says "we are more than most will ever know" or a line from Dr. Seuss' children's book The Lorax which reads "unless someone like you cares a whole awful, nothing is going to get better--it's not."

Here are some examples of the many things you can do with lettering tattoos, all courtesy of the wildly popular Bmezine.com.

Latin for "Either I will find a way or I will make one."

Becca 4 years ago

agreed with you, Jesso. I'm looking for something similar. I've been considering "there will be an answer, let it be" from the Beatles song, "the journey is the destination" (or "it's not the journey, it's the destination", "all you need is love" (obviously I love the Beatles), and a few others I can't remember off the top of my head. I'm getting it on the arch of my foot, so it can't be too many words.

hi all i have a tattoo on my back and it reads as follows " La Vida Vive" translates to "and the life lives on" i quite like it. The next one i will be getting is "Its like the pray, playing games with the hunter. No where to run time to just surrender" song lyrics purely because in life we act as the pray and a hunter but to decide whether or not we surrender to whatever is yours alone but within the lyrics it doesnt necessarily tell you who wins because its your choice on my wrist will do just fine

i am going to get a tattoo that says "hold fast to your dreams, for without them life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly." a quote by langsten hughes. and then i am going to have a sparrow with it. it basically talks about following through with your dreams, and not letting anything hold you back. which is a huge part of my life. i was a foster kid, and was always told to follow my dreams... now i am a certified cosmetologist at 18, living on my own, in an upscale neighborhood i might add, and am extremely happy with my life. i also want to wright a book, i feel i can be a huge insperation to all kids growing up in foster care. :]

kadence 3 years ago

To Tara,

Im not sure if u want a quote or not but if u want something special for your mom you could get script on your rib cage saying "never to have suffer would never to have been blessed" with ur moms birthdate underneath the quote. it reminds you of your mom but also reminds you that u are blessed with happier times ahead of you.

im also 16 and i got angel wings tattood about a year ago.

I've been debating for years on the perfect one....and I just cant seem to decide, I want to get a quote or phrase and want something that Im always going to like and mean something to me...something that reminds me of how I want to live my life...or the attitude that I want to have...when things get off course.. I guess something that will give me a reality check when needed or snap me back into what i believe in... I was thinking maybe

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain"

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending"

"When the world says give up hope whispers try one more time"

"Life isn't measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away

"The only things in life we regret are the risks we didn't take"

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end"-semisonic

I Just cant decide...I think I want it with some other little design....and either my shoulder blade or lower back... Im lost!!!!

I have 5 tatts. My first one is a Celtic heart surrounded by the words "Love is never wrong," a feminist symbol on my hip, "Defy Gravity" on my ankle, "smile pretty and watch your back" on my calf, and "forget regret" on my foot.

The only tattoo I don't absolutely love is the only one without text. I'm thinking that I'll be adding a phrase in the near future.

And I cannot wait for more.

i'm 16 and am getting 2 tattoos this summer.

1. a personal one; i cant decide on what i wanna get. I'm going to get one similar to angelina jolie's pelvis bone one.. i dont want anything in english and i want a phrase that would pretty much sum up who i am. My dad abandoned me and my mom when i was 6 months old and left me dying on the streets, here are some of the quotes i wanna get.. help me decide?

- never forget, never forgive

- what doesnt kill me makes me stronger

- the past cannot be cured

- only hope (as in i am my own hope left)

Redfoot 2 years ago

I have the last line of footprints in the sand poem "it was then that I carried you" arched over a footprint on my right shoulder blade. the footprint is then colored red because my last name is redfoot.

I want another one on my foot and I have a few ideas but I'm not quite sure what to go with. I def want a quote or phrase

- "Trust Believe Dream Dare" on the inside of my foot

- "it takes courage to grow up and become who you really are"

- "If nothing changed, there'd be no butterflies" with a butterfly too

- "the future is always beginning now"

I know i want it on my foot but i dont want it to be too big. If i get a quote alone, I'm leaning towards the arch, but if i can get a pic to go with the phrase that would be great... any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated. thanks :)

There's loads of tattoo ideas I LOVE but the phrases I'm thinking of getting are:

'Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer' - from the song Thunder by boys like girls [amaaaazing song!]

or

'With or without you' - I know its an oasis song but the reason I want to get it is cuz its also a line from a song my ex used to listen to that went 'just know that I can do this - with or without you'. So for me it represents independence and reminds me to let people in but not to depend on them.

I got the idea from a song that is called that and every time i hear it it just really gets to me

And just for future reference, what does everyone think of a feather on my rib cage, that says "Live the life you've imagined" or a little sail boat, that says "I am captain".

Hey, I really wanna get a tattoo on my wrist (I'm a girl btw)

First I kinda only wanted to get one word, but then I started thinking of a word, and I can't decide about only one.

So this is what I'm down to :

Dream

Believe

Explore

I kinda wanna get all three word written down like that on my wrist with small letters, pretty looking.

To me, these words mean that you gotta let yourself dream about the future, I think that's an important thing to keep a person going, you also gotta believe in yourself, and that you can do whatever you set your mind to, finally you gotta explore your dreams,explore the world, and explore life to the fullest (whatever that means to you)

What do you guys think of this tattoo?

nicole 2 years ago

master coupe the spine is the most sensitive part of the body. it radiates the pain throughout but then again im a bit of a control freak seeing whats happening doesnt hurt as much as not being able too.

Hey ppl there's s great ideas on this site. I'm really struggling to come up for sum quotes to fit my tattoos. At the minute I have two tattoos... A tribal panther and an angel on my back. The angel covers the top half of my back. In a way it is similia to David beckhams backpiece. For the past two years I have been searching for a quote which will match this tattoo... Perhaps something religious or something about being able to fly (as it is a winged tattoo).

I lik the whole good v evil idea and recently seen a great tat which was angels fighting demons.

I'm really struggling can someone plz help!

If u hav ne ideas plz plz email me at g_mufc@hotmail.co.uk

My Tattoo says "life is beautiful" on my hip. I love it and everytime im down i can just look at it and I realise how stupid it is to not love life every second.

Im Hopefully getting my next one on my lower back saying either

"imperfection is beauty"

"heaven can wait we're only watching the skies"

"it was in love i was created and in love is how i hope i'll die"

mallory it all depends where u go and your artist i would say no less then 150 but no more than 200

tattooteacherlady 2 years ago

I think it is great that so many people are embracing different languages and ways of expressing themselves, but I want to remind you that you should be VERY cautious when getting your quote translated - not everything can be translated word for word.

This is ESPECIALLY true for Latin . . . each noun has 10-30 (roughly) possible different endings, depending on what it does in the sentence, whether it is singular or plural, and what gender it is. Each verb has about 60 different possible endings depending on who, what, when, where, etc. . .

It might be too late, but the person who wanted

"Degero Tui Somnium" will be getting a tattoo that means "I will have spent time on a dream of you"

There are LOTS of words in Latin that mean "live," and degero is okay, but it really implies wasting time to an extent...

I would say "vive somnium tuum" (live out your dream) or "agita somnium tuum" (live your dream in the sense of "make it happen"), but using the words you chose the most correct version would be "dege somnium tuum" (spend time on/pursue your dream).

As you see, it's complicated. No native Latin speaker is going to come up and mock you and if it means something to you that is great, but I would be embarrassed to permanently mark myself with something that doesn't quite mean what I thought it meant (just like the people who get Japanese symbols only to later find that it means something silly later on).

Life lesson: ask a real-live person if you want a translation of something BEFORE you spend the time, money, sweat and blood to get it inked onto your body... don't trust a computer program for something that important.

If you don't believe me about translators, do this experiment:

Step 1: Take your favorite song lyrics in English and translate them into another language using a translator program.

Step 2: Take the translation and re-translate that back into English using the same (or another) program.

Step 3: Grab your friends and laugh/cry at the horrible butchering of your favorite song. . .

I have a total of 3 tattoos.

1: 3 stars on my rights foot that are all different colors and get progressively larger. There is a sort of swirl that connects all 3 of them together. This was my first one because I wanted something simple and small in case I found I couldn't bear the pain!

2: This is a very personal tattoo to me and was gotten for a very personal reason. It's a Latin phrase which is "alis volat propriis" which translates to "she flies with her own wings" I have this on my upper, middle back with a set of angel wings coming down around the words. it was done beautifully by a friend of mine and it really one of my most meaningful possessions. I am extremely attached to it.

3: This is also a very meaningful tattoo to me and also on a personal level. It's a small puzzle piece outline that is on the inside of my left wrist and it has my younger sisters initials in it. We got them together tonight actually. We chose the left side because the heart is more to the left and therefore we're closer to the heart. She has the same one in the same place with my initials in it. It's really neat because when we hold our wrists together, the puzzle pieces fit together. It's to symbolize that she is my other half and we complete each other.

Im 17, turning 18 soon and im treating myself to a meaningfull tatto either on my wrist or my foot. i really want 'mea gloria fides' on my right foot which is my surname coat of arms motto written in latin. but i also want something in memory of my mum. shes still alive, but i want something that will be like a constant reminder of how shes always been there for me. shes always told me to live life. but i want to incorporate love in there somewhere cause, whilst im in love now, cant gaurantee its forever, but love isnt only targetted at one person. its everywhere. so im torn between that idea and "here and now" which i read in the book "Journeys of Socrates" a book about the struggle of a russian mans life and how he lost all who was important to him. it symbolises that nothing is as important as here and now basically. because no matter where you are or who your with, it will alwaysbe here and now. any ideas. email me, donnabella92@hotmail.com.

I have a clover on my back, and I want to add a text, no need to be related to luck. I'm thinking of "In the end, it doesn't even matter" 'in the end' lyrics, my fave song ever, besides I lived a near death experience, and I realised that when the end is near, nothing you have matters, no health, no money, no beauty, nothing

amber 2 years ago

my life motto is: "I'll sleep when I'm dead."

meaning go out and live as much as you can, don't miss out on anything because your too lazy / tired. I don't know if I'll get this tattooed but i see many people like the quote 'sleep is not mandatory.' :]

Love the site. I just recently had my wrists done, with "Stay Gold" in a creative writing done in black with gold on the top of the letters and white outlining.

Bacially, it comes from the poem "nothing gold can stay" by robert frost. and became popular from the book The Outsiders. and means "Be yourself, or stay the way you are and follow yours dreams" something ill always live by.

I'm 18 and I currently have 3 tattoos:

"La Vita e Bella" ("life is beautiful" in Italian) on my ribs.

A small outline of a star on my shoulder.

And a sparrow with black shading on my wrist.

I've been wanting another tattoo for a while. And I was thinking about getting "Sweet love o' mine" (from the song Sweet Child O' Mine) on the back of my shoulder. Opinions?

I have only text, no image tattoos. They are the following.

In an arch from collar bone to collar bone,

"Behind everything beautiful there's been some kind of pain"

With a breast cancer bow, for my mum, on the left, and an infant loss bow on the right, for my 4 miscarriages.

Across both feet i have:

" meet me jesus, meet me,

meet me in the middle of the air,

and if my wings should fail me, lord,

please meet me with another pair"

In memory of my Grandad.

I also have all the way down my right side:

" Ever thine, Ever mine, Ever ours "

For my boyfriend.

And from a piece i wrote about my struggles, across my stomach...:

Everything i've ever learnt about life can be portrayed thus; It goes on.

I also have "forget regret" on my neck,

and across the bottom of my back i have

"Tonight we dine in hell, Tomorrow we're heaven's guests"

I also have on the inside of my wrist:

"It's not dark yet"

Cheers!

alliee 2 years ago

alright, so this past year i have been through a lot. my boyfriend passed away, my best friend betrayed me, and i'm feeling rather lost with what i want to do with my life. i want my first tattoo to have meaning about how ineed to stay strong through it all.

my first idea is to get a sparrow on my hip, which symbolizes good luck. and near it somehow i would want 'she flies by her own wings'.

and for my second i want 'life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain' on my ribs.

for me, it means that i there is no need to stand around waiting for life to change, you yourself need to change it for it to become what you want it to become.

anyyy feedback on my idea would be amazingg (: email me at aschools@ymail.com

im a 50 year old man thats been tattooing for a living all my life. Im still tattooing after all these years and ive got some realy good advice for any young people out there who want it. 1) dont decide on ink until you have thought about the FACT that what you thought was realy cool when you were three or four years younger

,you probably dont even like now. FACT uor taste change

continualy until we are full grown on the inside . 2)an image says a million words. 3)for every good tattoo artist out there, is a hundred bad ones that dont know what they are doing and just want to use you to practice on, DONT let anyone work on you that isnt a professional

whos work you have seen for yourself,not just a photo that he says he did. 4)last but not least FACT when you get a tattoo you WILL either spend the rest of your life

loving it OR regreting it. think it through no hurry.

xo Kari xo 23 months ago

james, wht u said is sooo true...i've given my tattoos alot of thought and i love mine and plan on getting more. on my left shoulder i have "Dark Angel"...got it bc its kinda my personality...devious at times and a complete angel at others lol. and the other is a pair of dogtags on the inside of my wrist for my husband, he's military. my next is a quote tht i want on my forearm and i'm looking for the rght one. and so far i've fallen in love with the "Wake Your Dreams".

any other ideas please let me knw...thanks

I have just had "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" on the very top of my back, but in French. "Ce qui ne me tue pas me rend plus fort". I didn't like the way it translated into latin for some reason. My other favourite quote is "it's all okay in the end, and if it's not okay then it's not the end, but as I don't like huge tattoo's (well the husband doesn't!) i can't get it done. I'm thinking of this "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" which is Hebrew for "i am who i am" or a more accurate translation is "i shall be that i shall be". I love it. I want it on one of my wrists. I have wanted tattoo's on my wrists for ages and couldn't decide. I just can't decide if it would look best on one or split up????

NZer 22 months ago

hey guys, wow so many ideas!! im all the way from New Zealand and am looking to get my 2nd tattoo, and it wont be the last!! my first one i got th day of my 19th and is hidden, and is th outline of NZ in a maori (our native culture) pattern.

i really want to get my next one, im 22 now and have a few ideas, there from the internet so not very unique but the artist will make them unique to me. I really like the positioning of angelinas one on her shoulder blade and like this quote of john paul xxiii

"Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential. Concern yourself not with what you tried and failed in, but with what it is still possible for you to do.” but this is quite an intense quote however so meaningful and true!

or a similar simpler one meaning the same thing

Only as high as I reach can I grow,

only as far as I seek can I go,

only as deep as I look can I see,

only as much as I dream can I be.

-- meaning to me pretty much dream and aim big, achieve big things. what do others take from this saying?

i want this tattoo down my shoulder blade where angelina has hers, but similar sizing to the one she has on her arm to cover up the billy bob one. Im thinking of getting wither quote in another language (im polish and german) but the translation of things is not very trusting thru the net as everything seems to be different from one website to another.

also in this website there is the saying "anything I could desire, i already have". is this tattoed in english or polish? because I would love to know the polish version of it, as I am wanting this across my forearm about half way up.. however I also like

Polish

• Szukajcie, a znajdziecie

o English equivalent: Seek and ye shall find

• Ucz si? ucz, bo nauka to do pot?gi klucz

o Translation: Keep learning because knowledge is the key to power

and some of the ones from you guys that I love are

-stand up for something or you'll fall for anything

-dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today

and the simple words desire or dream or strength.

speaking of strength, does anyone know any cool strength sayings (in polish or german would be amazing)

i like

-when the going gets tough, the tough get going

-what doesnt kill you makes you stronger

-the future starts today, not tomorrow

anyone know the translations of these that would be amazing.

im 15 and i really want a tattoo and have since i was 13, i am planning to wait till im atleast 18 and not get one in bali or something like that. i want it to be meaningful forever and not just for then, for now i have so many ideas but my favourites are :

the opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation - from rent the musical

There is a place where the sidewalk ends… - Shell Silverstein

However great the distance, we will never be apart - for my dad

its now or never - from this site

Le remède est dans le poison. – the remedy is in the poison(french proverb)

all in a black semi-plain font, not to fancy but not boring. I also have thoguht of getting one in UV or skin colour ink saying : "its conceptual, you just cant see it" which is a line from a skins, my favourite show but im not sure if that quote will mean anything to me in 50 years.

I wanted a single word on my left collar bone, but now I think I'll choose another place. Like the word "clarity" because I wish life was more clear, or something pretty like "gravity", to show that my ideas and wishes aren't realistic, and gravity and other laws of nature hold me down.

Hey! I have a butterfly on my shoulder with the words, "let me fly" in cursive under it and I have. "Live&" on my left wrist and "&learn" on my right. Live love laugh is original but cute, to. A cute suggestion would be to maybe find a line in your favorite song and use that..for pictures I keep it simple..maybe something that symbolizes you in a certain way. Just don't get anything you'll regret when you get really old. Make sure you'd be proud to show your grandchildren :)

I really want another tattoo. And I found a few quotes I like. Let me know what ones you guys like best please.

You told me to get up, I got up and spread my wings and I flew. Just grant me the strengh for one mor day to get through

there comes a moment when it's more then just a game, and you either take the step forward or turn around and walk away. I could quit but here's the thing I love the playing field

Pain is temporary, it may last a minute or an hour or a day. But eventually it will subside and something else will take it's place . If I qui however, it lasts forever

Which one is best? it going on my side :)

Classical Turns - Latin Tattoos 21 months ago

Dear all,

There are many excelennt ideas here. However, to those considering a tattoo in Latin, it should be made clear that, unless you have many years' experience in the language, professional advice is strongly desired. Despite the best wishes of those offering amateur advice about translations on this page and elsewhere, the suggestions are either somehow inappropriate or entirely wrong.

With that said, it is perhaps worth noting, for those who have visited this page and desire expert help with something as serious and permanent as a Latin tattoo, that Classical Turns has introduced its own page to help with the difficult task of translation English into the appropriate Latin (or Ancient Greek) phrase for a tattoo. An expert service, including advice about authentic and appropriate fonts and layout, is now available at the cheapest rates online. Information about pronunciation can also be given. Classical Turns would be happy to help with all the translations above: no request is too difficult. Just visit http://www.classicalturns.com and click on 'Latin Tattoo Translator'.

I'm getting my first tattoo in a few weeks. I'm thinking of getting either "Always forgive, Never forget" or "What is past is prologue". Either one I'm getting, I'm getting it on my side.

Also, when I was in junior high, I was extremely depressed and would cut my wrists. I'm thinking of getting "HOPE" tattooed on my wrist because if I had just a sliver of hope back then, I wouldn't have done it. What do you think?

Which one should I get???

Hey! im 18.. i have a tattoo on the top of my right foot that reads "Every mile a memory." a lot of people are like..

(hes a guy, and im a girl so it cant be to girly and i dont want big!) to symbolize that no matter where we go and what happens im always carrying his love and vice versa. is that corny? or "have faith in me" symbolizing our trust. any other ideas? even picture ideas can be helpful! im at a loss for what to do! he says i pick it and he will stick it. haha. thanks!

I have a dreamcatcher on my back that I designed, the 3 feathers are of a peacock, bluebird and hummingbird, the circle is the ouborous snake (bites it's own tail to symbolize never ending), the inside is a leopard face with a butterfly blended in... the leopards eyes are on the butterflies wings. There is a ladybug running around the outside, and the word "Taibhrigh" which is the verb to dream in Irish Gaelic. I want my back to be completely done with the theme of dreams and originality. There is a song called Dream Big by Ryan Shupe which I wanted to get tattooed:

"When you laugh be sure to laugh out loud

cause it will carry all your cares away.

When you see, see the beauty all around

and in yourself, it'll help you feel okay."

I want to get song lyrics of some sort... Not completely sure what though, anyone know any good tiesto or armin van buuren songs? That genre of music has impacted my life greatly.

hey all...

So i need some suggestions please! I have the Japanese Kanji symbol for "Poison" tattooed on the inside of my left wrist. It has its own personal meaning to me, and i could spend hours tryng to explain why i chose that word. In a nutshell... I once felt as though i was a poison and everything and everyone i loved would eventually become infected and die or leave me... no im not THAT depressed.. i had just lost my best friend and fiance in the same year and while i have overcome those feelings, i never want to forget that there are poisons in the world.. but there are also antidotes. So here is my question... what kanji symbol should i get on the right wrist that reflects the opposite of all that?!?!

Sup,

I'm 15 and this year my dad bought a tattoo machine and has decided to start tattooing. He's already done a few on himself and they look awesome. He done my first tattoo for me about 1 month ago, it's 'Aotearoa' written in fancyish writting on the outer side of my right foot, It mean New Zealand in Maori.

I decided to get that because i have lived in NZ since i was 7 years old with my mum, and i officially call myself a kiwi now, and 6 months ago i moved back to Finland to my dad's. But i realized just how much NZ means to me, and i reall want to move back, but i've got to get my schooling finished first.

Cheers.

and for the person who said a person they love died in a motorcycle accident they could get the tattoo that says

My dad passed away when i was 13, at the moment i think im going to get his date of birth on my wrist, with something else under it. Originally i was going to get "the darkest days of our lives are not to be buried and forgotten, rather a memory to be called upon for inspiration to remind us of the unrelenting human spirit and our capacity to overcome the intolerable." then below that my dad's date of birth. was going to get that on my inner bicep. then i thought about "of all the things i have lost, hope is not one of them" but im really not sure!

I have 2 tattoos, one on my right ribs of chinese saying 'eternal inner beauty' and one of my left ribs of 'carpe diem' written in cursive writing. I am wanting to get one more but im stuck between a few ideas:

- life favours no one

- when the world says 'give up', hope whispers 'try one more time'

- forever trust in who you are and nothing else will matter

- realize, real eyes, real lies .

I've wanted to get a tat for a while now but never find the right words to put down.

But now I have an amazing job with an amazing girlfriend my life has taken a turn and things are finally going my way and this is what I want my tattoo to say I was thinking:

"wake your dreams"

"never give up"

"life without regret"

Ect. Something along them lines any ideas would be amazing thanks.

I have one tattoo already and I am looking for input on location for my second tat. My sisters and I were "little" hell raisers at our Catholic school so I am getting three frogs that correspond to the saying "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil". I was thinking about my neck above my shoulders or between my shoulder blades? My mom/grandmothers always said that our shoulder blades were angel wings. What do you think?

I am 18 years old and Im already getting my third tattoo done hopefully soon.

and a cross on the inside of my left ankle.

Im thinking of getting "laugh as much as you breathe, love as long as you live" on my chest above my heart. (a little lower then my colar bone)in cursive writting, or on my back between my shoulder blades..

what would be better??

Need help!! thanks =]

coachhosman 14 months ago

Does it have special meaning? If it does I say put it above your heart, but I think it would look good on your back too, but it should be a little fancier than if you put it on your front (more people would see it).

Meg 14 months ago

I am 19 years old and I want a tattoo very badly, but just not sure what to get. I was either going to get strength with a small anchor on my wrist, or the world beauty mark on my wrist (which both resemble my dads passing). the third phrase I wanted to get was "May the wind always be at your back" from an Irish blessing. I was also thinking my shoulder blade would be a cool place to get a tattoo.

someone please help me decide!

I have a tattoo on my forearm reading

every saint has a past

To anybody thinking of getting a tattoo get something that means something to you. And also wait an extended period of about 3 months before getting something to be sure you won't regret it.

I'm about to get a female guardian angel on my right forearm. I want it to be beautiful and meaningful rather than just trashy and westy looking.

Thoughts and opinions would be appreciated.

Pate 10 months ago

Firstly.. WOAH that took years to read.

Secondly, I am from Australia :) and am 17 turning 18 in a few months. I already have one tattoo on the inside of my left ankle that simply says "One Life, One Chance", I got it about 6 months ago and I like it because it's self explanitory and always reminds me that I've been blessed with the gift of life & I have one chance to live it and do it right. I knew it was right because I wanted it for years before I got it.

Anyway, I want to get another one after I turn 18 on my ribs, but I'm not sure what to get, I want something that's either:

- Inspirational and will remind me that even in my darkest moment, things will get better.

- One for my mother. Or..

- One for my sister/family in general, my mum and sisters and I have a very close relationship and have been through a lot together.

Any tips would help, I have found quite a few that I like from this page. Also, I want it to be done in another language, preferrably Latin.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, my email's - witapooh@hotmail.com :).

-Thanks.

i like the sound of your's "live on, no regrets"

i was thinking of getting "Regrets Are Worthless" somewhere on me; people go on a lot about regretting decisions and their actions in the past; but i think, why regret something that's already being and gone, it happened for a reason & you should think to make the future, rather than regretting the past :)

I have Mors nos non disiungit tattoed on my chest which means death will not part us, Amor vincit omnia on my wrist which means love conquers all and also my sons name and dob in elvish on my forearm.

I want either numquam moribimur on my forearm too which means we'll never die or ut amem et foveam which means whom I love and cherish (trouble with the latter though is David Beckham has it so maybe chavvy?

@Mb - I'd love to see pictures of your tattoos! I have a hub dedicated solely to Latin tattoos, and another for Elvish tattoos. It'd be awesome to be able to add your pics to the gallery. I have the Elvish word lumenn (meaning "to shine") tattooed on me, and I love it.

Here's the links in case you're interested.

Hey...alright so I want to get a tattoo on my wrist. I have been thinking and re searching for about 6 months and nothing has sounded perfect. But I want either a quote or a symbol on my wrist symbolizing a whole lot wrapped into one. I want it to inncorporate that I am strong, that no bad something is that I am tough enough to over come any obstacle thrown my way. To always keep my head up and to follow my dreams. Just a reminder that I can see every day that can tell me I can do this!:)

So any suggestions! Please help

Thanks for your kind comments, I'd love to let you see them. You will have to give me some instruction though as how to post!!

I also have my name in Chinese or Japanese (can't remember which language!!) on my upper arm but not overly keen on that style anymore. I have a few image tattoos too but always seem to go back to text, it's really intriguing as everyone always wants to know what it's says and why I had it.
