LD Tattoo Quote

That would be an interesting idea, putting "Am I dreaming" somewhere. I think I decided to stay away from a quote and stick to one word, "Lucid." I feel like it would have the same effects on my state of consciousness if I were to dream about it, and it's simple yet meaningful to me. I want it to start as a heart monitor EKG with a few blips that trails off into a big cursive "L" followed by the rest of the "ucid" in some script I haven't chose yet. I was thinking of it going down my tricep so it just barely shows when I'm wearing a short sleeve shirt. Maybe my second one will be a longer quote.

Yeah I was thinking about putting "Am I Dreaming" on the top arch of my foot, or somewhere below my current peice on my calf.
I dont know if you have any tattoos, but I was very young when I got my first tat (well im still very young 21) and I regret how simple and boring I made it. As I got older I wished I would have ran it through more people to make sure it was a good idea. Sometimes if you just ask your close friends they will tell you "yeahhh sure get that good idea" when you really needed a reality check. Your tattoo sounds like a good idea but make sure you are going to be happy (or atlesat not ferious) with it when you are older. Your mind develops a lot when you get older. I had this dream after I got my 14 inch peice on my leg. that i had a tattoo of a spongebob character on my arm. I thought about it in waking life and realized that if i was 9 and got a tatto it would have been of a simple spongebob character. Now that I am 21 i would have got something more sophisdicated. I dont know if that dream was a prophetic one, one telling me in the future I will frown upon my tattoo because of its archaic idea or what. Just make you sure think before you modify your body!! Its really really permnament.

Lol sorry that was so long, I am only saying this because I wish someone would have talked me through one of my tattoos a little more before I had got it

Yeah, thank you. I should probably ask more people. The test I'm using to see if this is a good tattoo is to sketch it on paper and tape it right next to my pillow on the wall so I can see it everyday. If in 6 months I still love it, then I feel like that's enough reason to go through with it. I agree with what you said about Spongebob, but at the same time tattoos are supposed to be snapshots of your life. So even if the design does get old, it was still a reflection of YOU when you go it. Not to say anyone should rush it, it does have to be something close to your heart.

vi somniorum mundum solus mortalis vici

it means: By the power of dreams, I, a mere mortal, have conquered the universe.

I could draw one for you if you wanted an image like someone suggested. Or even the EKG thing. I've drawn a couple before for people and they said it's exactly what they wanted.

Love it.

You could get a quote in weird hieroglyphics that you make up to symbolize the way letters appear when you're dreaming.

If you could do it, I would love to see it.
