Next Tattoo Idea, any quote suggestions? -
March 19th 2012, 12:20 AM
Alright so, I got my first tattoo a few months back. I actually made a post on here with a few pictures I was deciding between lol. Here's a picture of the final product, it says Set Yourself Free;
Anywaays, I want another tattoo and I think I've found what I want. A cherry blossom tree because of its meaning. The fragility of the cherry blossom is the fragility of human existence;its brief period of life, like our own; its implacable movement towards death, and its individual and perfect beauty is ours. There are way more meanings to it as well.
And with the tree, I want a quote/saying/sentence. Something meaningful. I have a picture of what I hope it would somewhat turn out like but I just wrote in 'Life is too short' which I do like, but I think I could find something better..The other quote I was thinking about using was 'Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment'
Does anyone have any ideas?! Please post 'um I'd appreciate it (: Also I'll put the picture I made of what I want it to sort of look like..(I used a crappy version of photoshop lol)
Thanks in advance! : ) <33

I like the idea of a cherry blossom tree, and I get what and how you want it through the pic lolz. As for a quote, I don't expect you to really want to use it but just as something to maybe tweak or ponder on, "Life is like a kitten in that it is beautiful and kind, but only so long as you are kind and caring to it" Again just a suggestion, not sure I'd expect you to want it lolz.

I like the idea of the cherry blossom tree. I love the fact that you put so much thought into the meaning behind the tattoos you're getting. Personally, I love the second quote. I think it's a beautiful quote.
wanderlust consumed her;
foreign hearts & exotic minds compelled her.
she had a gypsy soul
and a vibrant heart for the unknown.

I like the second quote too, and for a moment I thought about how long it was, but if you want it, I highly doubt that would matter that much, and I think a cherry blossom tree would look really cool.
I've said it once, I've said it twice, I've said it a thousand fucking times
That I'm OK, that I'm fine, that it's all just in my mind
But this has got the best of me, and I can't seem to sleep
