What is the line? Are you having it done on your upper arm? I think it going like up and down your forearm would look sweet!

Answer 2

I dont know which line is my favorite out of all of this poems, but this is my favorite poem.

when what hugs stopping earth than silent is

when what hugs stopping earth than silent is
more silent than more than much more is or
total sun oceaning than any this
tear jumping from each most least eye of star

and without was if minus and shall be
immeasurable happenless unnow
shuts more than open could that every tree
or than all life more death begins to grow

end's ending then these dolls of joy and grief
these recent memories of future dream
these perhaps who have lost their shadows if
which did not do the losing spectres mime

until out of merely not nothing comes
only one snowflake(and we speak our names

i think your tattoo is a fab idea, good luck

Answer 3

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it

here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)

Answer 4

Whats the question, what line you should get or where or how you are wanting the placement??
I cant tell you what line to get, because I dont know what kind of shoes you've walked in, in your life...or what you are wanting this tat to be about...but as far as lyrics/quotes go..I think it looks really good...when its starting at the wrist and kinda wrapping up the arm.
