Which literary quote do you like best for tattoo?

Question

I have so many quotes I like, and have narrowed it down to these. Would any of these look absolutely stupid as a tattoo?? Are any better than the others for placing on the back/shoulders? I'm having trouble picking just one, it was hard enough narrowing down to these! They all mean something to me, so I dont need the answers saying that I should pick what means the most cause they all do, I would just like opinions. Thanks!

Answer 2

"When the love of power becomes the power of love, the world will know peace" (jimi hendrix)

All the way girl!

Answer 3

to thine own self be true... I have a soft spot in my heart for old Willy.

But seriously, I think it would look the best inked, and it is the shortest, so cost effective as well!

I have tatoos. The big ones cost more.

Answer 4

I like

"to thine own self be true" :)

One quote I kind of like is:

"Love is my weapon"

Answer 5

DEFINITELY JIMI HENDRIX!
its so honest and something i would not mind looking at everyday.
very inspirational!! go for it!

Answer 6

i don't know but they're all cool but i would go with the shortest quote to make the letter a little bigger than if you were to put in a longer quote ...that way you can make the smaller quote lettering look nicer
