I know what you’re saying about people not thinking about what tattoo they get. i have a friend who has just turned 17 and he has 14 tattoo’s (12 of which are stars) and not a single one means a thing to him. i got my tattoo at the age of 16 but i designed it myself and it means a lot to me. Im in a band and have been for the past 5 years and so i got something that will always remind me of the amazing times i had and will hopefully keep having.

that said im actually getting some of my own lyrics tattoo’d soon:

You just ran away
You never told me why
all you left was this note
your final goodbye

I have this tattooed on my right wrist…

“It’s me and the moon…” by Something Corporate.

I’ve been through really hard times, and I’ve struggled with depression most of my life… Music is my refuge, and since I’m a writer myself, I find solace in certain lyrics… That tattoo reminds me that I can get through everything. I have the symbol for strength on my other wrist.

[Reply]

Hm, good question because I told someone I wanted to get lyrics written on my wrist and they told me I was stupid when he heard them:

“Fear is the heart of love” by Death Cab.

In the song its not meant as a good thing, but that line has always stuck out to me, and for me, it IS a positive thing. Have you ever loved someone so much, and knowing that one day you might never see them again just made you need to show them as much love as you could in your journey together.

Other lyrics that I love are:

“I think I was blind before I met you…” - Bright Eyes, First Day of my life

I just got “Never Too Late” tattooed on my right forearm. It’s the title to a song by Three Days Grace that talks about suicide and how it’s never too late. I have dealt with many people in my life attempting suicide. Recently a close friend of mine committed suicide and it helps me to deal with what happened. I have her favorite flowers next to the script as well as a bird flying away to symbolize that you can be set free because I know I have. If you’re planning on getting a tattoo make sure that it’s something that is meaningful to you because you don’t want the same dolphin tattooed on you that 100’s of other people have- yes it may be pretty and you may like dolphins but do something at least to personalize it for yourself.

two years ago i got breathe on my right wrist and love on my left, symbolizing that the only thing that kept me alive and breathing, was love.

someone who is not me should get;

“does anybody remember back when you were very young? did you ever think that you would be this blessed?” -from the song guernica by brand new

i’m getting “celebrate we will, for life is short but sweet for certain. we climb on two-by-two to be sure these days continue” -dmb it’s long but you can’t use one sentence without the other if you want the full impact of the words.

I have been debating over this for about 6 months now, want an original tattoo that means alot to me so been debating over which lyric AND where to have it. My favourite song ever is ‘whatever’ by oasis cos it reminds me we can all be whoever we want, but the lyrics are dead simple ‘im free to be whatever i choose’. The other idea i had was for one from live forever, ‘i think your the same as me, we see things they’ll never see!’ i like that one the best at the moment im thinking! been tryin to find a pete doherty lyric to consider too cos all his songs so poetic!

[Reply]

I have A LOT of favorite quotes, Lyrical and not, but the ones that I’ve been considering getting tattooed are:

1.”The most beautiful charaters are seared with scars” I would get this one for two reasons. The first being that ive been through a lot in my short lived life, and i would like to think this quote would pretain to me. and the second reason would be that it would hopefully remind me not to judge people by what Ive seen or heard about them, everyone is beautiful, they just need to find there way to shine.

2.”Love ( Live ) higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide.” Think about it, think about the best thing that could ever happen ( love higher than that. ) And dont let you mind try to tell you that its not possible.

[Reply]

I have a tat with lyrics. I got it for my 17th birthday last year.
Yeah, I might be young, but that doesnt automatically make me stupid. I put plenty of thought into my tattoo, and I’m sure it will always have a lot of meaning to me.
I got “follow your bliss” in cursive under a realistic looking, and very beautiful sparrow.
The lyrics come from my all time favorite band, Senses Fail. This band has been my favorite band for over five years, and still are my favorite band to this day. They probably always will be my favorite. I also feel like I can really relate to almost all of their songs.
Now to explain the meaning behind the lyrics and the bird? Well, before I got the tattoo, I was going through a really tough time, trying to make a life changing decision, and to me, “follow your bliss” means find your happiness. So whenever I’m not happy, I just look at my tat and think of the decision I’m making and whether or not that decision would make me happy in the long run. As for the bird, it represents freedom to me. So all put together, I’m basically making the statement that I have the freedom to make myself happy.

Im definatlly getting this as a tattoo.

“You Mean More Than You May Ever Know”~Where The Moss Slowly Grows~Tiger Army.

The main reason being is i have had some people really close to me pass on, and its just a way to show them how much the meant to me. But also outside of that its also a message to my best friends, for the same reason. The song brings tears to my eyes everytime I think about it.

Then there are other songs that I wantto get Im just trying to find the right qoute, or qoutes, or maybe the whole song.

Reach For The Sky-Social Distortion

“When I was young I was invincible,
I find myself now thinking twice,
I never thought about no future,
its just the roll of the dice.

But the day may come when you’ve got something to lose,
and just when you think you’re done paying dues
And you say to yourself, dear God what Have I done?
And hope its not too late ’cause tomorrow may never come.

Reach For the Sky, ’cause tomorrow may never come”

Its a look back at how I made stupid decisions in the past that I regret now that I have something to live for. And luckily got a second chance to fix it.

Gone Away-The Offspring

“Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can’t deal, it’s so unfair

And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven’s so far away
And it feels, yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you’ve gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary’s
Can’t bring back what’s taken from me

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would”

Yet another one to deal with the death of people close to me, and another song that brings tears to my eyes everytime.

World Full Of Hate-Dropkick Murphys

“Am I everything that you wanted me to be”

Some might take this as a message of conforming to someones ideals, but to me this lyric is basically saying “Are you proud of me and what I have done”

“Til the end like a friend stands by you again
And I wouldn’t change a thing”

This from the same song is just stating how much my true frineds mean to me

Forever-Dropkick Murphys

“your strength is the power that carried me through forever

Forever your power and strength stays with me”

“there’s a piece of you with me they can’t tear apart forever”

Both about my fiance who I love more than anything and has helped me through tough times.

911 For Peace-Anti Flag

“We are all human, it’s time to prove it.”

My stance on violence in this world, especailly through biggotry.

i will probably get other ones I just dont know yet.

So yeah some of those are really lenghty lyrics but i dont give a **** about length as long as it fits where I want it and looks good, they all mean something to me. so its all good

I might stay with you, but you’re wrong

The rest of my text tattoos are poetry or outtakes from books. [Photos on my flickr link].

[Reply]

Whose to say that just because you get a tattoo off a wall it doesnt mean anything. I have 3 tattoos, all very personal and meaningful, but I would never object to anyone getting something that they find appealing. Tattoos are supposed to be art, and art doesnt have to be unique or personal, and saying it does is redic. Maybe someone really likes tweety, whatever the reason, it’s theirs, and we should respect that.

Call me silly but I have Dude tattoo’d on my hip, because dude where’s my car was the first movie I saw with my best friend of over 8 years, and she has sweet, some people think it’s lame, but to me it’s more than most people will ever know. When I met a certain famose person who I look up to and they autographed me I tattoo’d it on my body, because since the time I was in 6th grade till the time I turned 23 I had the biggest crush/ held the upmost respect for this man, and it was another memory in my life that I didnt want to forget, and as for my 3rd… it’s just something speacial for myself.

my next will be tattoo will be lyrics, i’ll post it when I get it.

I discovered this thread by chance during a google search, and I felt compelled to bookmard it for future reference. My best friend and I got a tattoo on a lark one night. Now I’m craving something more meaningful.

There’s never gonna be a moment of truth for you
While the world is watching
All you need is the thing you’ve forgotten
And that’s to learn to live with what you are. (Ben Folds)

And with my eyes wide
I’ve seen worlds that don’t belong. (Paramore)

We’re at war: we live like this. (Paramore)

Glowing ember: burning hot, burning slow
And deep within I’m shaken by the violence of existing for only you. (Sarah McLachlan)

It’s easy: we all falter
Does it matter? (Sarah McLachlan)

Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied? (Sarah McLachlan)

Carry on, my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don’t you cry no more. (Kansas)

I’m not sure about the last one. The implied message is obvious, but would it be weird to get a tattoo that speaks specifically of a gender I don’t belong to?

Emily,

If you like Placebo, how’s about “Carve your name into my arm.Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed”
Great song “Every You Every Me”, such beaut lyrics, and kind of fitting for a tattoo hey? And they’re not too negative like Slipknot (I love them too, but I’m actually not a manic depressive - so their lyrics would be quite laughable on me!!!)
But you should wait until something you ABSOLUTELY LOVE COMES INTO YOUR BRAIN, you might not know now, but when it comes to you you’ll wanna rush out and get all tattooed up… Take your time, it’s on there for-ev-er…

I’m getting “enthusiasm” on my foot in a couple of days. It’s not a lyric, but it’s my favouite word and my favourite sentiment, and i don’t think there’s enough of it in the world at the moment, especially in my generation.

I’m also thinking of getting “in any case, it was just personal” from The Great Gatsby on my inner elbow. I’m more interested in quotes than lyrics, and others i’ve thought of getting are:
“let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth” Song of Solomon
“something good will happen” something my teacher told me, which i love.
“Everything always works out always” something a friend said which has become a catchphrase of mine
“was it all a coincidence?” from a Filschi and Weiss exhibition
“the space and the dream. the mystery and the danger” part of the commentary from Marilyn Monroe’s last photo shoot
“one that loved not wisely, but too well” Othello
“He’s just a man named Gatsby” The Great Gatsby
“like powder touching ash” what the water feels like to the fishes
“I am moved by fancies that are curled
Around these images, and cling:
The notion of some infinitely gentle
Infinitely suffering thing. ” from the prelude by T.S. Eliot

As far as lyrics go, maybe
“i’m gonna do what i said i’d do in school, and be the one who says “hey, this ain’t so hard, and it’s kinda cool”" Somewhat off the way by Dogs die in hot cars, (possibly just the second half, because it’s kinda long)

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
Of all the wonders that I yet have heard,
It seems to me most strange that men should fear;
Seeing that death, a necessary end,
Will come when it will come.

-from Julius Caesar, Shakespeare

Our dreams are so related though they’re often underestimated.

-from Bubble Toes by Jack Johnson

Love is the answer,
At least for most of the questions in my heart
Like why are we here? And where do we go?
And how come it’s so hard?
It’s not always easy and
Sometimes life can be deceiving
I’ll tell you one thing it’s always better when we’re together

-from Better Together by Jack Johnson

There’s a world we’ve never seen
There’s still hope between the dreams

-from All At Once by Jack Johnson

Words of wisdom all around
But no one ever seems to listen

-from Traffic in the Sky by Jack Johnson

I wish the world was flat like the old days, and I could travel just by folding a map. No more airplanes or speed trains or freeways, there’d be no distance that could hold us back

I’m 18 in October and despite my parents being all snobby about tattoos, i really want one, definitely lyrics because music means so much to me.
I’m thinking about
“Dorothy was right though” by the Arctic Monkeys, meaning that despite where you are and who you are with, there is no place like home.
I also really like the line “Perhaps fuck off might be too kind” but am definitely NOT getting that, bit rude thanks!?
“Clean up your eyes” by the Dykeenies (my favourite band) is also a strong contender because i think it would help me through hard times.
What do you all think?
These would either be at the top of my neck or on my wrist…

These ideas are all really cool. I’m getting a lot of tattoos and my first is going to be:
“if there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks then i’ll follow you into the dark” from the song I will follow you into the dark by death cab for cutie. I’m not sure where to get it though. Someone said they had one on the bottom of their foot which I thought was cool, and that would be cool for the meaning of the song. Like follow..foot. Yeah.

As for my other ones I want to get “love is the answer at least for most of the questions in my heart like why are we here and where do we go and how come its so hard” from the song better together by jack johnson.

those are the only lyrics i’m getting tattooed so far. but I’m also getting my niece’s name tattooed on my wrist. She’s my reason for living. And then I’m getting a shooting star behind my ear and there’s a really long story behind that. And I’m also getting the word faith on the back of my neck. And lastly the comedy tragedy masks somewhere on my body because theater was my saving grace in high school.

but i’m open for suggestions on where i should get the death cab tattoo. please help. i was thinking either the bottom of my foot or on my ribcage.
