Hello all

Names Josh im 16 and from united kingdom by liverpool.I hope to get some ink in the future so just joined the forum to get ideas.

i already have 1 idea which is
Dream as if you’ll live forever, live as if you’ll die tommorow
Across my back.
I think this quote represents alot and is one of my favourites.

But obviously over the 2 years until i can get a tattoo alot will change and i will probably have new ideas.

Thanks 😀

Heya!

Welcome. I’m pretty new as well 🙂

Few things to beware of – lots of people here offer really good advice. See constructive criticism on ideas as what it is – an attempt to help. But don’t let people simply step on your ideas either. Lots of people have cemented ideas about what they like, but that doesnt make your ideas any the less valid!

Any reason for the James Dean quote? It’s a nice one. I love text tattoos 😀 As you have two years, I’d suggest looking around at similar quotes, or ideas and then finding quotes. There are lots of beautiful variations on that, and you might find one that suits more (I’m a lit student and pretty obsessive about my quotes though, so feel free to ignore me!)

No particular reason to be quite honest.
I just think the quote resembles alot and its one that stands out for me.
I have a few quotes in mind but this is the one that stands out the most.

But like you say just look around at other quotes and no doubt i will have changed my mind i like a few tupac quotes and that but its just all ideas at the moment and i have alot of time to think carefully what i want to get.
And when i get it done i think the style is going to be Celtic Script.

Thanks 😀

Just for example…

Dream as if you’ll live forever. Live as if you’ll die today. – the actual James Dean quotation (sorry, I realise i got it wrong thinking that’s what you were quoting)

Every man dies. Not every man really lives. ~Braveheart

To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.- Oscar Wilde

You may delay, but time will not. ~Benjamin Franklin

Is there life before death? ~Author Unknown

Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once.
~William Shakespeare

Those are just a few examples from one website and my memory! I’m not saying your one isn’t good (it’s great!), just an idea of how to fill the next two years – making sure you’ve got the one you want
