Maybe I am stupid, ok I am def stupid lol, but not sure I get it. What kind of letters will it be written in? I am down with tats that have some meaning like that though. Of course some of the pussies on here will flame you soon for getting a tat but good for you bro. How many do you have now?

You are not stupid, let me explain, I am reading a book atm from Philip Zimbardo called the Lucifer effect - understanding how good people turn bad http://www.lucifereffect.com/ - I was so fascinated with his book that I bought another book from the same author called The Time Paradox:
The New Psychology of Time that Will Change Your Life.
Its way over my head and I have to concentrate real hard to understand it, however there is a passage at the beginning were he describes some of his collegues also a psychologies and sociologist visiting the chapel of the capuchini monks - http://www3.sympatico.ca/tapholov/pages/bones.html - (I have attached some images below what it looks like)
One of the inscriptions says - What we are they once were, what they are we will be - now with the pictures attached you will know what it means.
I am faszinated with death (not in a sick way but just really trying to understand myself).

I really don't care if people like my tattoos after all they are for me only I cover them up most of the time anyways due to the weather in ireland :D but I do only have tattooes that mean something to me.

When I understood (not even sure if I fully grasp what it means) the insignia I got chills and thought it to be incredible beautiful.

I found another incredible beautful saying: No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

*Heraclitus

Which I find equally interesting.


I am not sure what letters I will use maybe I am hunting down the old letters what they used at the time (not the english gothic gangbanger letters) but something more beautiful - I have about 10 tattoos - both arms and back.

All this is well and good but fact is, tatoos for the most part are for the "lesser" class individuals, any way you look at it. 

I can never really see myself getting a tatoo. I know too many people who have tatoos they regret.  Fast forward 20+ years, you might feel the same.

best of luck either way in how it turns out.
Wait for it....
