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.

Theres an amazing punk song written by a band who are friends of mine called Not Indestructable which to me really describes him and his last moments. Last night I had 'Not Indestructable' tattoed on my wrist.

my sisters and i all have tattoos
mines a butterfly inbetween my shoulder blades and in tiny letters above it says 02 - 12 - 86 ( my birtthdate )
my younger sister has the same butterfly on her lower back with a design around it. and above it in hand writing it says 'forgive me for' and underneath it says 'my sins'
and our youngest sister got 'forgive' on one wrist, and 'forget' on the other.
all of our writing is in the same font and we each got them done on our birthdays, it was fun
what do you think of Hakuna Matata?
is that stupid or cute?
I suppose it's not stupid. Just because it comes from a cartoon doesn't make it stupid i guess cos the meaning isn't too bad.

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'm wanting something on my left inner wrist and I've got an idea but this will be my second and I want it to mean something and I want words. I would like it to have something to do with mine and my fiance's relationship. We're getting married October 3rd which was my grandparents wedding day. I am extremely close to my grandmother and was close to my grandfather who passed away a few weeks after I first met my fiance. To me it was like my grandfather found me someone to help me with losing him. So that's a little information any ideas would be great you can email them to me at jlulu1988@yahoo.com thanks.
i want a word tattoo. i have praying hands with a chain around them and my 2 grandfather's names, birth and death dates on them on my upper left arm. i found one quote "By preserverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great." - General George S. Patton Jr., that i like a lot and am thinking about putting it right below my left armpit but any ideas where to put it?
Okay. I'm only 16 and i'm getting my first tattoo for my first time. I want something to go with my mother cause she died when I was younger. So I want something cool. But I just don't know what to put on there, I'm so confused. I want it to look really special but no skanky. Any idea's?
Hi there, i have a tattoo in small but in script writing going accross my neck saying "Of all the things i have lost, i miss my mind most" I like it heaps any other people have ideas for quirky, witty strange phraes please email me at dirtytycoon@yahoo.com because i really want another one. and im sure there is much variety from people accross the planet.
Hey, can anyone translate: 'what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger' into latin?
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. :]
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 have "beauty passes wisdom remains" on my left leg
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!!!!

nonOn - the best place for a girl to put a tattoo for me is either the side near your ribs, the back of our neck, the wrist or the lower back of course.
What do you think of the tattoo "My Own Worse Enemy" ?
I have a few tattoos that are words/quotes, i got them years ago when i was 17, and i still love them all.
onegoing down the side of my foot that says "carpe diem", although watch out with the foot, cause it tends to fade.
i also have one over scars on my ribs that says "Never give up, Never enough, Never forget"
and one in the center of my back saying "ride or die", i know it sounds skanky, but i related it to sortof never giving up
i posted on here before but i dont think it got posted. but i was thinking about getting a tattoo on my neck that says "Never look back" but i think it might be corny? yes?no?
I found a very nice quote it's latin, but i love the translation. Dum spiro spero or "as long as I breath, I hope." It also translates into "while I breath, I hope" but I perfer the first. It was a wrist tattoo and I loved the idea of it.
hey
Does anyone know how to translate "she lives the poetry she cannot write others write the poetry they dare not realize" I love this quote and want it in Latin but am not 100% sure about the translations I am getting. Thanks!
hi! ive been tryin to get my first tattoo drawn out but i cant seem to get exactly what i want on paper.i want something with good vs. evil for my zodiac gemini but i cant get the right idea. any ideas or pictures?

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 promised my best friend i would go with her when she gets a tattoo for her birthday and that i would get one too. It will be my second but i dont know what to get. i know i want a quote on my lower stomach, kinda like angelina joile but im just not sure what to get. theres this muse quote that i absolutley love
'lets conspire to re-ignite all the souls that would die just to feel alive'
but i think its too long... so heres some others im thinking about
And I swear we were infinite - perks of being a wallflower
My soul is unbreakable- also from a muse song
To live is the rarest thing in the world
??? i am so confused and a have to do this in a couple weeks!!
"you can never lower heaven, but you can always raise hell."
lol, thats a good one
I know it's a little cheesy taking lyrics from The Streets but I like:
"I came to this world with nothing, and I'll leave with nothing but love"
how bout dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today i love that one
how bout dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today i love that one
Soo..I have one tattoo. Chinese Symbols meaning, "Passion, strength, and fire." On top of it is a butterfly flying away from it. From the chinese symbols to the butterfly are 4 small stars sort of looking like star dust of my family's birth stone. I'm kinda thinking about adding on to it somehow? Got any ideas?
My favourite quote ive being saying for ages now is
No expections - No Dissapointments
is that lame?
hey everyone, im thinking of gettin my first tattoo of 'born free' down the back of my arm.. yes? no? where else would look good?

hey im 18 and im looking to get my first tattoo. I really like the "wake your dreams" idea but i can't decide between that and "When I Fall, Don't Forget Me" - a song by northstar. Anyone have any suggestions as to which they like more?
Life without regret
Life without fear

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)

hi i am 22 years old.. i have lost like 60pounds and just came out to my family and friends... i wanna get tattoo on the side of the chest under my arm.... any ideas?
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 :)

Hey guys i really need your help i want my first tattoo to be meanigful and i have decided i want "Life on the other hand wont let u understand we're all part of the masterplan" tattooed on me but 1,i think its too big and 2,i dunno where to get it? and 3 i think its gonna hurt like hell and look awful?!! what u think?!!! i need help! x
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.
Correction - its a u2 song. Sorry :]
'stand up for something or you'll fall for anything' is very similar to The Scripts song Fall For Anything. im going to get that done down the side of my stomach
Im 19 Years Old, And Dont Have Any Tattoos Yet, Im Thinking Of Getting A Words In Latin Or Italian Or Some Other Language Down My Side (Ribs).. I Would Like Something Relating to my Father Who Passed Away a Few Years Ago, Any Ideas?
So My boyfriend passed away in a terrible motorcylce accident and I thought and thought and finally got a tattoo to do with his last name on my foot.. what do i get to go around it? A name, a quote, a saying?? I need HELP!
how about godzilla in chinese i got it lol ders so many things you can put laugh now cry later, night is darkest just before the dawn,scars remind you that da past is real, i rather die standing up den to live on my knees
how about his name and "forever ours" for the memories you shared but then nothing that any new boyfriend would feel threatened by...
I have about 9 tattoos and my favorite is one that is arched across my right foot that says "bruised but never broken"
i have two tattoos, both involving phrases. my first was a nautical star on my wrist with the words 'nulli secunda' [second to none in latin] and my second is a butterfly on my left hip with the words 'carpe diem' [seize the day in latin].. i think my next two are going to be swallows on my shoulders blades and i want a polynesian inspired sun on top of my shoulders or foot lol. :)
i have 'serendipity' written on my wrist...it means fortunate mistake and reminds me everyday to make the best of every situation i'm in -good or bad- because i believe everything happens for a reason
Got mine today: "Forget everything you know - cause you knew NOTHING to begin with"
I have a lot of tattoos as well....my boyfriend used to abuse me a lot - i have bones broken with metal plates inside of me and screws - so i put some tattoos of scars with stiches on me...i have a dragon - cause i'm a fire sigh and i love my tattoo that says "This Too Shall Pass"
Sajean, i really like yours - maybe i should put "Broken literally but NEVER defeated!"
Asheey, maybe you should put - you'll never be out of my sight or heart....
i did it before but in my language - "you will never be out of my sight of heart - cuase i'd rather be blind or dead........."
Do whatever you wanna do at your own risk - after all that is said and done - it will still come to you and your life and nobody but YOU are gonna be responsible for that...
where is the khmer words you mentioned on Jolie's back? I wanna read it.
can someone tell me what "forever ours," translates to in german my fiance is german and we miscarried and i want to get that tattoo to remember her by.
look up As Cities Burn lyrics...very good.
im getting "compassion" on my wrist and " this is romance" on my side.
They have some powerful stuff.
I was wondering if someone could tell me how to translate "wake your dreams" into elvish?? I am also looking for a very short but unique quote possibly involoving eternity...something beautiful that gives you chills when you read it.
I have also thought about "And throughout all eternity, i forgive you, you forgive me. -William Blake...any opinions would be much appreciated!!
I want to get a tattoo on the top of my foot and I was thinking of something like the words "always love" which has a simple but strong meaning to me because in life, hate won't get you anywhere and i think it would also be a good reminder that even when hate might be the easier option at the moment in the long run it wont benefit you. I got the idea from a song that is called that and every time i hear it it just really gets to me
What do you think? I would really appreciate any feedback!
okay i know ill sound a bit stupid..but
can plz someone explain what the phrase "WAKE YOUR DREAMS"
means??
I'm 16, and looking for a tattoo that isn't visible. I like graphic tattoos, for now. Maybe when I can make them visible I'll look into text tats. BUT! I was thinking of either a conch shell on my foot with music notes coming out of it, or on my hip, a little dove. 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". Let me knowwwwww your opinion on those, or any other ideas. I love the ocean and nature, and theatre. Thanks!
this would be pretty cool if you put it on the back of your neck:
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real
Awesome ideas. I want to get my first tatt on my foot saying "what will you stand for today?" Just worried it's gonna cain!
I was thinking about getting "forever young" but instead of words getting the music notes that go to the song by youth group...but i cant get the music sheets to the song anywhere!!!! anyone know wer i cud?? and where the best place to put them would be? i wanted to put it on my ribs but i dont think it would look best there.... reply pleaaase!!!!

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?
viking. i think its a great idea for a tattoo. if thats what u want to get do it. i mean we all dream big u gotta believe in youself no matter what finally get out there and take charge. exploring living out ur dreams u should def go for it.
@ caleymars : its esprit libre not libre esprit
i want to get this but its kinda long,
"You cant take nothing for granted and you cant take granted for nothing"
I plan to get "Forgive the Fallen" in latin I also want "Give me wings" in arabic.I also considered "fearful are the failing" in latin. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, am going to be getting another tattoo soon and was wondering if anyone can help me out by confirming that what I have found below is a correct latin translation...
Live your dreams - Degero Tui Somnium
Hello people, i need a little help im 17 and i am looking to get a tattoo, only a little quote something like only god can judge me or No man alive, knows the struggles I've survived! bas i had a bad accident couple years back but im stuck on a place to have it :( any ideass here a good place would be??
forgive those that trespass against us.... from the lords prayer x
you should get it on ur ribs at the top like wrapping around ur chest. did u ever think about the quote ur only as sick as your darkest secret. i thought about getting that done for awhile but decided against it.
'Rest not until life is complete'
How long will it probably take to get 14 words 56 letters
it really depends on the artist and how long they've been doing it. a more experienced tattoo artist would have it done n about an hour hour and a halfish. someone whos only been in it a few yrs could take 3
im getting a tattoo on my wrist.
it has to be small and elegant and i want it to be one word
ive gone through a lot in my life and i want it to be meaningful but im having a hard time coming up with the right word. help
i have 1 tat going along the side of my arm in old cursive saying
"Yesterday is history while tomorows just a mystery"
means live life daily
kimm what about courage or preserverence
im thinking about getting "Live the Dream" across my wrist.
please give me your thoughts and opinions.
I'm 17 and have only one tat ( for now)
"carpe diem" : sieze the day, in old English vertically down the side of my
ribs, it also stung like a bi**h, don't believe the artist when he says the shading doesn't hurt as much lol, then again your ribs might not be as sensitive as mine
I was thinkin another quote down my spine.. Any suggestions ??
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.
God give me strength to say "Thank you" more often than "Give me"
what would hurt more wrist or inside bicep?
thanks nicole, i decided on "vivre la vie" which is french for live lifee.

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
If u hav ne ideas
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

"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"
any opinions??
Hi I want a phrase about how close I am to and how much I love my 4 year old daughter. How our bond will never be broken. I want it to be quite profound...can anyone help?
PLease email dannyhill7@yahoo.co.uk many thanks
im seriously considering getting my first tattoo. I really want words on my ribs. anyone know an estimated price for the following words "If he opened up the sky and starting pouring rain like he knew that it was time to start things over again it would be alright"
mallory it all depends where u go and your artist i would say no less then 150 but no more than 200
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 "Family is Forever" written on my wrist. It means so much to me.

I'm 18 and for my first tattoo I'm getting "Be Who You Are and Say What You Feel Because Those Who Mind Don't Matter and Those Who Matter Don't Mind" by Dr. Suess on my ribs.
got my new tattoo today it says not all those who wander are lost in elvish
Check out Kip Fulbrek's tattoo book titled Inked. I think you'd really like it.
i want to get stars. what do ya'll think? is it too common?
depends is there meaning behind them
i want " nothing heals like time and love" on my lower back but should it be translated into latin/elvish or just as it is???
I want 2 get the saying "Dream to live, Live to dream", across my shoulder blades......What do you guys/girls think?
meesh nothing heals like time and love would be awsome as is in another language ppl would also have to ask about it when seeing it....which could be a plus. and josh i think thats really awsome
I have "its not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves" in script on my ribcage
i have a star with a music note in it on each of my hips
i was thinking of getting " there are things we dont want to happen , but have to accept , things we dont want to know bu thave to learn and people w cant live without but have to let go" down my rib cage with stars all around it
starting from my armpit and then curving down towards my hip so the stars go together.
i have a really long torso so im hoping it fits good.
BELIEVE and Chinese words are so overplayed.

Those are nice tattoos, I would like to have one image tattooed. My Grandma had plenty of tattoos in her hand, but it was part of religious thing.
