I need some help

[MissTake]

Ok folks,

I want to get a new tattoo on the back of my calf and it's going to be some kind of script, I've found a couple of things but I'm not done looking yet. It can be a poem or song lyrics or just a sentence but it has to be about family, life, love or unity. Here are the few I've already found.....

Happiness lies for those who cry,
those who have searched
and those who have tried,
for only they can appreciate
the importance of people
who have touched their lives.

Giving someone all your love is
never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
just wait for it to grow in their heart
but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

I know where my soul lies,
it's at the heart of my family

I love these lyrics...

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.


If any of you know of a verse that's so soul touching please post it up :great:

With perseverance the needle digs the well. - Hausa Proverb (Northern Nigeria)

 

[wigsaw]

The thing is, I'm not worth the sorrow
And if you come and meet me tomorrow
I will hold you down, fold you in
Deep, deep, deep in the fiction we live (The Fiction We Live by From Autumn To Ashes)

When you're thirsty it's too late to think about digging a well

Let me have, under her own hand, a letter, bidding me good bye — forever — and I may die — my heart will break — but I will say no more. (Edgar Allen Poe)

 

[MissTake]

Oh wow powerful stuff, thank you both 🙂

 

[Midnight]

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.”

“Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.”

" Everyone is different. And everyone's the same. The sooner we learn that Truth, the sooner the world can become a better place."

"Lift your eyes to a snowy peak
And see the soon- to- be we seek
Whisper DREAMS and let them rise
To the mountains old and wise
Climbers climb, it's time to try
Where the mountains touch the sky
Take me there. Oh take me now
Someway, Someday, Somewhere, Somehow"

Ben 😉

Have you ever had a tattoo before?

If you haven't, I strongly urge you not to get a whole line of text, maybe two or three words at the most. A whole sentence causes a lot of pain, I most certainly wouldn't be able to bear it, don't know about you though.

 

[Grumpy]

Hi,

I'm new here!

What was the point in posting that?

Living is the problem because everything dies -Biffy Clyro.

Not even these words on my back can describe my feelings for whom much I love my family.

Beauty captures attention, personality captures the heart.

As life goes on, we grow older, the people around us change, we lose family and friends, but theres one thing this world will never take away from me - my memories of whom I love!

If I was ever to have a tattoo, it'd be a Hitler quote. They're really interesting.

How about:

"Me Ass en holen, es bleedin en svollen" 😉

Sorry I can't help you I don't support tat's. 🙁

haha..

"Make the lie big, make the lie simple, keep saying it... and eventually they'll believe it."

Not sure why anyone would want that tattooed onto them though.

 

[MissTake]

See that's why I love you lot........there's brains, emotion and comedy all in the same thread!

I have to report that I now have my scripture on my calf, I went with this one....

Giving someone all your love is
never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
just wait for it to grow in their heart
but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.

But I still want to hear some more because now I'm thinking of getting my other calf done too to balance me up.

Creative, I'm a female tattooist and already have 8 tattoos before this one, although I must admit that it's far easier causing the pain rather than enduring it :lol:

I'll have to get a picture of my new one put up for you to see 🙂

 

[Grumpy]

Lol, I would collapse in pain after the first word was put on. 😛

So you didn't go with my idea? 🙁

I always thought it would be funny to tattoo glasses onto your face.

That would be painful right around the eye area. 😛
