I want to get a tattoo to represent what iv been through.
I don't know what to get though i want it to mean that iv been through really bad stuff and i got through it and if anything bad happened again id be able to get through that to. But i don't know anything symbolic enough i was going to get 'only god can judge me now' but i no longer believe in god and so it would be a little hypicritical to get that. Any ideas please. My tattoo is due to be done on saturday so asap please so i can think about it Posted on 07/02/09, 12:07 pm |

I like that idea, perhaps with the butterflies on the outside fluttering, with more than one ?

I got "hope" tattooed onto me because of that same reasion. Every time I look at it, it makes me smile and I know I can get through anything bad that I am feeling. Hope you find something that will make you feel the same.

I have the Egyptian Ankh on my forearm.
It is a symbol I have always loved. It has 3 stars around it, I dont know why 3, but I have a thing with that number, as well as stars. It also stops me SI'ing in that area.

I am sorry i cant help ou, but i hope you let us know what you chose. It will be interesting to find out. It is a personal thing, so if you dont share it with us thats ok too. I like the idea of butterflies, because it is something that has to go through a huge change to become truly bautiful.

For me song lyrics best describe the pain i've been in and will always be in.
"If you lost everything in a moment, would you notice? Could you rebuild something so hopeless? Are you hopeless? And when you wake alone, with no one left to hold You wont need to know all the things I know" A song by my fav band Alexisonfire. I just want to get the first line - If you lost everything in a moment would you notice? It's kind of a you don't know what you've got till it's gone thing. I've had 3 major family suicides including my dad. I think that lyric is fitting. I know people get all sorts of things tattooed on them. I guess when you come across it you will know it.
