I'd like to tattoo something that actually had a meaning for me (and that could be read). For a while I considered getting this tattoed:
| quote: | | 行く川のながれは絶えずして、しかも本の水にあらず。 |
Which is the first sentence of a famous Japanese text that says pretty much what Heraclitus had said a few centuries earlier. But, because I can read Japanese, and the tattooist probably doesn't, I would probably regret it :p
edit: I'm having some trouble with the encoding... here's the source:

It's the first sentence. |

It isn't helping I don't have Jap characters installed... nor do I read/speak Japanese so I'll take your word for it. Is there anything culturally Brazilian which would work?
Aside from tribal, no sense getting something tribal like some dumb white s do here, when they're not actually in a tribe... well I guess dumb white s form their own tribe.
We call them bogans :p |

When Myra gets back I'll see if we can get a decent photo of the Dead themed Sun tattoo I have - it isn't "tribal", but I also don't know how else to really describe it. A friend of mine from back home was a pretty epic artist who went on to become a tattoo artist, and she designed the image and actually tattooed it on me herself.
I don't think a ton of folks have seen it, but Myra definitely always says it's her favorite of the tattoos I have - and it's probably also my favorite as it's the only one that I know is absolutely unique.
It was also probably the most painful of the ones I have as it basically goes from just above my left nipple up onto my collar bone. |

actually i have a godsmack t shirt protecting my mixer from dust a few feet to the left of me right now hahaa
but to get back on topic... i'm against getting any kind of random tattoo... i dont think you should get one unless it really means something to you, like others have said there are countless s out there with random tattoo's on them just because it looks cool, and shortly thereafter, they realize that they were really foolish to get it in the first place... |

There are quite a few things, but I just can't pick a sentence and/or a sign that really translated who I am, as the Tower of Babel and/or a quote about all things being impermanent.
I really wouldn't like to choose a design simply for aesthetic reasons... |

That's why I'm glad every single one of mine was music related (save for one which is music/heritage related - I have Neil Young quote that appeared at the end of Kurt Cobains suicide note that is on a banner with a shamrock - subtle homage to my Irish grandparents, hoping to add a flag eventually) - and not "flavor of the moment" music related.
Three of the four of them I had actually known I wanted for years before I was even able to get tattooed. |
