Need help!
Hello everyone, I just found this community and I am so excited that I joined lj just so i could write on it...
I won't be getting a tattoo for some time now, but I've already started to think about it and I need some help deciding what to get! I have a couple of options but I'm not sure which is best or where they should go...
The first option is part of a Lord Byron poem, because I lovelovelove nature and the movie Into The Wild, where I first saw it. I want the quote
"There is a pleasure in the pathless woods, there is a rapture on the lonely shore,
there is a society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar"
I am thinking of putting one line each on both sides of my hips, kind of wrapping around the sides, which I've never seen really seen before. Do you think it could be done, or would it not work out? If so, is there a better place?
Second are lyrics (which I hope counts as literary) from Bright Eyes. I would want an image similar to this:
with a bird flying out to the side of it, and instead of the words there, it would be the Bright Eyes quote which reads: "just let go and be lifted to the sky." I would either want it on my back or perhaps even on my feet.
I have a third option which isn't really literary related, so if i need to delete this section I'd be happy to do so...
But I was at the met once, and I saw this wooden shield that I fell in love with! It had an owl (my favorite animal) and the german words "wie wol ich bin der vogel has noch den erfret mich das" which it said translated to "though i am hated by all other birds, i nevertheless rather enjoy that" which is how i think most people view me. I woud love to get an owl tattoo with those words, but if i were to get that, would it be bad to have it in a language i do not speak? I would hate to change it.
I would realllly appreciate any feedback regarding your favorite option and where you think the best location would be, I just can't decide!
