tattoo, yay or nay
just trying to get a second opinion on this design. truth be told the design really isnt my own, but i did hack it apart and put it back together completely differently to come up with this. i also added the latin. the writting says "live, to live as best one can." which can also be read as "live life to the fullest."
so what do you think. still needs some work im aware.
here is a more up to date version, removed the vertical lines.

I gotta go with "nay" buddy. The tribal design is pretty played out as far as tattoos go. Unless the design has a real or deep personal meaning. And if you haven't heard it before, once you decide on a design, wait six months and if at the end you still want it, then do it.
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

In addition to what havokeff said, I don't really like the juxtaposition of the Latin alphabet and a tribal design.

I've got quite into tatoo's recently and am quite friendly with several tatoo artists. It basically comes down to this question. "sure it may look cool now, but will you still feel the same way about it in 10 or 20 years time?" Think long and hard becuase as painful as it is to get the tatoo it'll hurt a million times more getting it removed.

Seriously though, that's good advice.
"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."- General Sir Charles Napier
