Tattoo poll

[Rising Phoenix]

I'm covering up a tat on my right hip
It wont' be completely covered, I'm putting a quote over the tat, so it will still be seen but new.....get it?


option 1
I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him.
Booker T. Washington

option 2
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
Ghandi

original tat




some people ask why I always include a pic, well, a pic is worth a thousand words and I think it makes this whole on line life more personal and real when you have a face to go with the name ( be it an alias or otherwise)

1. If I was getting a quote tattooed, I'd pick the shortest one.

2. me,too....and not on the neck...

[Rising Phoenix]

4. no prob its on my hip.....the front of it

[Rising Phoenix]

3. ok ok, but I"m not afraid of the pain of either

take that out of the equation

quote 1 very specific to first tat

quote 2 more general about my life

[rug]

5. Hmmm, in that case I'd go with the first one.

Even though it's specific, it's a quote that stands well alone in almost every circumstance.

[Rising Phoenix]

6. true that

and that was my first choice, I happened to read the second one this weekend and it kind of made me rethink



but the first is usually the one!

7. Seriously, my granson is fighting a bad infection from tatoo!

He has been on IV meds for weeks and has a few more to go. He got a bacteral infection in lower spine that got into his bone, very serious, was in hospital for 10 days, took a few weeks before he could walk. He will never get another one, thats for sure! The pain he endured was terrrible! So think twice about tatoos. he got his at a supposidly reliable place, you take your chances!!
