I’m getting a tattoo across the top of my back. I had been decided on getting it written in latin, but i think the english version is a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I like the latin as its a romance language, and seems to have a bit more depth because of it. and i dont mind people asking me about it if they saw it, i mean only at the beach would anyone ever see it. anyway, here’s a quick chop
English:
Latin:
keep in mind it would be written in this font, which would make the english or the latin look cooler (would probably help out the latin more though)

it always pissed me off how the words were arranged. get it in latin, so it’s not as annoying.
i always see it as anti skateboards hero.
then after wtfing, it makes sense.

One of the greatest movies of all time!
> Ok, now it’s true, the majority of students today are so cravenly PC, they wouldn’t know a good time if it was sitting on their face, but there’s one thing that will always unite us and them. They’re young. They may not realize it yet. They’ve got the same raging hormones, the same self-destructive desire to get boldly trashed and wildly out of control. Look out that window! That’s not a protest! That is cry for help! They’re begging us… “Please have a party! Feed us drinks! Get us laid! Aahhhhhh!”

Get it in Latin.
Then get “I have AIDS” in Latin right above your balls. It will be mysterious, and then someday some chick will be able to read it and freak out
