    tattoo help

    i plan on getting


    "the world is my expense,*
    the cost of my desire"


    as my next tattoo, on my collarbones, in 2 rows of font

    * with or without the comma

    i described it to 2 friends, and apparently i cant explain stuff too well, and the grammar is wrong on it too?


    wat do YOU guys interpret it the meaining as?
    and is the grammar wrong on it?

     

    and its the first lines of a song by my fav band, rage against the machine- sleep now in the fire

    Currently:
    12gauge septum
    00 gauge lobes
    0 gauge second holes
    stomach tattoo
    plenty more to come!

    Goals:
    00 gauge septum
    00G lobes
    0g second holes
    more tattoos!

    Re: tattoo help

     I'd personally forego the punctuation

    and my interpretation is that the lyric is profound from a badass band that I adore...

     and frankly, it's YOUR tattoo.. .your intepretation is the one that counts most.

    Re: tattoo help

    Not to be harsh, but I interpret it as meaning that if you have to get others to decode it for you then you shouldn't get it. It is permanent. It will be on you. You will have to answer the questions. Put your thoughts into it. Not the thoughts of others.

    Re: tattoo help

    If you're not 100% set on getting it right now no matter what, don't get it yet. Wait until you're that confident about it.

    In the words of quinnn (not sure if she's quoting anyone or just being a genious here), a tattoo shouldn't be something you can live with, it should be something you can't live without.

    All speech is vain and empty unless it be accompanied by action.
    -Demosthenes (384 BC - 322 BC)

    Most of us do not look as handsome to others as we do to ourselves.
    -Anishinabe proverb

    No answer is also an answer.
    -Hopi proverb

    Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
    -Jorge Luis Borges
