Ok so I don't have long. I was gonna look over and reply to some posts but got caught with something else so really quickly. I'm thinking about getting another tattoo this year for my bday. Thinking on my left calf(side) maybe? Not sure yet. Anyway, here's the quotes I'm thinking about and I'll get a zebra either above or below it depending on how it looks once put on paper.

"When you hear the pounding of hooves it's usually just horses, but if you keep your eyes open you might see a zebra."

“Those who do not feel pain seldom think that it is felt”

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional."

What do you think? Which do you like best? Have any that are similar that are cool?

Hatbox,

I like the "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional" It is positive.

Please do not take anything I say as medical advice. I am not a doctor.

That freaking tattoo gonna hurt. That daughter of mind just had another one done Monday. She does not listen either.

Stop letting folks write on your bodies. When ya get up in your 90's and the skin has gotten so fragile, what will that tat look like. Hmmm!!!

If it can not be stuck on with water and removed with oil cannot do it. It just looks like it hurt then if you get some color. Oh hell no.

But I do like the quote.

What is this thread about, I forgot. GOOD NIGHT

I like the suffering is optional- I also found this one:

“There's no limit to how much you'll know, depending how far beyond zebra you go.”

― Dr. Seuss

Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Kahlil Gibran

"The sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being." Carl Jung

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Leo F. Buscaglia

"Always fall in with what you're asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever's going. Not against: with."
Robert Frost

"God doesn't give us more than we can handle, I just think He overestimates my strength!" lol- me

Funny you should mention this... I've never had a tattoo, kinda thought they were silly, what'll it look like when I'm 80? Hubs has 2 tho. Maybe I'm having a mid-life crisis but I've seen some really cool looking ones lately and have actually been thinking about getting one.

Crazy, I know!

I like "pain is inevitable, suffering is optional"

I have 6 or 7 tats now, I can never remember and I'm not awake enough to count. Here is a pic of the one I have on my left calf.

This is Sharky, he was a mascot a long time ago. I was going thru a shark phase.
