getting a tattoo.. help?

[DreamingOfPeace]

So I'm planning on getting a tattoo on my ribs. Something similar to either one of these pictures above.. the thing is I am stuck on what quote to get..
I've come up with a list but cant choose between them .
Which do you think is best? Or do you have any others to suggest ?
Thanks


“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

“Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die today.”

“Everyone falls over in life, but it doesn’t matter how far you fall, what matters is how high you can rise after falling.”

every saint has a past every sinner has a future

When she was just a girl She expected the world But it flew away from her reach so She ran away in her sleep and dreamed of paradise

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen carefully

What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls a butterfly

I would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinking
Let me show you what love means.

and life goes on

"We're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars"

Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it

Bear and endure: This sorrow will one day prove to be for your good

She flies with her own wings


Do not wish for easier lives. Wish to be stronger

The heart has reasons, which reason knows not of

As my darkness rises and falls I will defeat it,now into the light i shall stand

'The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible'

'trust your heart & let fate decide'

"Do Not Ask For A Lighter Load But For Broader Shoulders".

"I'd rather be a free sinner than a fake saint."

"I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be."

That one is my favorite out of them.

I like some of them, but honestly I have a very strong feeling that if you're going to put something permanent on your body you should be in control and 100% sure about what it is that you're putting on. I know you ultimately do have the control around that, but it just doesn't sit well to give you suggestions.. especially as someone who DOES have a literary tattoo. Because even though I love the words on my body, I love them a little bit less than when I got them tattooed on. And I can only imagine that if others had influenced my tattoo decision that that would be more true.

just my two cents. good luck in your artistic process!

"She flies with her own wings."

As Jas said though, this isn't ours to decide. Good luck!

I also like "She flies with her own wings", but as the others have said, this isn't something WE should be deciding on. Tattoo's take time and planning, and it's a good thing you've stuck with a decision to wait until you know for sure. Regretting a tattoo wouldn't be the best idea because...well, they're permanent, and it's very costly (and painful!) to have them removed. Keep on thinking, and make a decision you know you won't regret in the long run.

I agree with Jas, a tattoo is something you and you alone need to decide on.
You can do what my sister does, grab a sharpee and write the quotes you like most on yourself to get a feel for it. I think especially with quotes if you're not 100% certain and set on a certain one give yourself more time to think about it. My sister has a quote on the back of her neck that she regrets now (I kept telling her she would xD ), people change and quotes can be very personal. You have to think of which ones you'll still like in the future, what you wouldn't mind people reading on you all the time, if you'll want to expand on it later with a picture or not.

Ultimately it has to be your choice though.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.”

Don't know why but that gave me shivers down my spine. I mean it is very, very meaningful. It makes me think about life and about how lucky person I am to stand out in the crowd and.. I just love the quote^^

I like 'And life goes on...'. It's simple and has a big impact. You could style it out with a little heart or butterfly or something too.

But 'She flies with her own wings' would also be really pretty and is quite relevant I'm guessing.
The longer ones are probably going to be very painful and costly, so it's best to stay short and simple
