What are your favorite vegan/animal rights quotes?I'm getting a new tattoo this weekend & was hoping to incorporate a short-ish line of text about animal rights/veganism, as it's going to be below my current "vegan" tattoo on my wrist. The non-text part of the tat is bird-related,

Honestly, if you're getting tattooed this weekend, you should already know what you want. Just my opinion.

[wendythevegan]

as stated in my post, the text is only a small incorporation into the main tattoo.

but thanks for the totally unnecessary comment.

Just imagine, for a moment, that blinddogs is not trying to be a jerk or trying to act better than you, but is actually trying to be helpful. People do regret tattoos that they have gotten at the last minute (I am not saying that will happen to you but it CAN happen).

I find myself so defensive in this community because there is SO much snark in it already that I often can't immediately tell if someone is being rude or not. I guess sometimes I need to take a breath and reread comments to figure out if someone is actually being snarky, or being helpful.

I could be all wrong, though. Maybe blinddogs is being a horrible, self righteous bitch. But I seriously doubt it.

is most tattoo ink not vegan?

[tartinglitter]

Not always, sometimes they use fish oils...sadly mine is of fish oils...I got it before vegandom...but I love the design. I did slave over designing a tattoo for over a year, went to the tattoo parlor and completely changed my mind. So...IDK but getting a tattoo for me was half about the experience and half about the design.

[wendythevegan]

yes, it'll be with vegan ink. as were my other tattoos.

I like the quote from Frankenstein's monster:

"My food is not that of man; I do not destroy the lamb and the kid, to glut my appetite; acorns and berries afford me sufficient nourishment...."

I always loved that Mary Shelly made him vegetarian.

[dreatastespie]

Aww I like this.

[vegetus]

Well given her and her husband the poet Percy Bysshe Shelly were vocal vegetarians I'm not surprised. It's a very cool quote :)

[zebrallama]

I'm surprised! Maybe I'm just more easily surprised than you :-) I knew the Shelleys were vego, but I had no idea that the monster was.

[autochrome]

O'er the ripe corn, the birds and beasts are dreaming-
Never again may blood of bird or beast
Stain with its venomous stream a human feast,
To the pure skies in accusation steaming;

That's from Percy Shelley's The Revolt of Islam. A bit long altogether, but just the two centre lines would work nicely.
