Tattoo quote ideas representing a tough life?

emme

I'm thinking about getting a quote on my ribs but i'm finding it hard to find a right quote that describes my life. I'm 20 years old and growing up i dealt with a tough life but i never allowed people to see the pain i was going through. I would appear to be this happy carefree girl to all my friends, but little did they know about my life i went through behind closed doors. I do not let what happened in my past determine who i am but instead define myself to be better for the future because of it. Also along with the quote i want to incorporate a feather breaking off into birds flying off to represent the freedom i have in my life now and to let go of the past and move on.

So any ideas of a short/medium quote that would be perfect for me???
This is my second tattoo
Sorry, i meant getting a quote that represents moving on from a tough life. And after 20 years of living that way, i want to look at my tattoo and think "i got past it all and look where i am today". Also to motivate me for when things get tough again. So yes i am looking for something positive please.

Answer
You're trying to get art that represent difficult times, and you might not like them later. I always advise people to represent the positive in life, not the negative. I've had girls come in that want tattoos for an aborted baby, and other unpleasantness. They usually end up wishing they hadn't done it, later. So I try to talk them out of those kinds of tattoos.

Guys: opinion on a small rib tattoo on a girl?

anonymous/

Okay so I'm 18, 5'1" and about 94 lbs so I'm pretty small and don't look very old. For a while I've been considering a small tattoo on my ribs, kind of close to under my breast but more on the side on the ribs. It will just be one straight line and it will say תת×××¨× ×¢× ×¢×¦××× which means "rise above yourself" in Hebrew. I want this quote because I've had a lot of body issues in the past and am very easily influenced by people, so I like that it would be there as a constant reminder to myself to be stronger than my negative emotions.
Anyways, would this be attractive to you or no? I'm still going to get it if I really want to because it's my body and I'm gonna do what I want, but I would like your opinions! Turn on, turn off? Any other opinions? Thanks guys!

"it will say תת×××¨× ×¢× ×¢×¦××× which means "rise above yourself" in Hebrew." - DON'T. It's NOT what it means. Don't trust things people tell you over the Internet, especially if the consequences are for the most part permanent. What you wrote means "get over yourselves" (plural) and NOT "rise above yourself." So although their meanings are somewhat permanent, in Hebrew it is something that is not always in the nicest context. Very similar to "pull yourself together." I would really suggest that you find an alternative. Maybe something that is more easily translatable to Hebrew.

As for the tattoo itself, I think you're a bit young now. You may like it for a while, but you will come to regret it eventually. Attractiveness-wise, it would really depend on the final look. A single line below your breast area to me would seem like a serious turnoff.
