So I want to get a tattoo...

I'm a long time PJ Fan, and I've been thinking about inking up for a couple of years now. I think I've narrowed it down to 'No Code' but more to the point 'Sometimes'. I think it's one of the most beautiful songs in the world. For me it's about just being, with your own intricacies, and that we can be wrong as well as right, we are only human.

I was just wondering what you guys thought of the song, or if anyone knows it's true meaning.

I also can't decide whether to use the word 'Sometimes' or the No Code symbol as the tattoo.

Help and comments much appreciated.

    The triangle with the eye No Code symbol would be pretty cool on a wrist, forearm or back of neck. I do highly suggest getting a temporary tattoo for a while if you've not done it before. Then after a few weeks see if you're still gung ho about a permanent one.

    i think its cooler to get the word "sometimes", it's something different..rather than the super popular no code logo thing, alive stickman, yield sign etc. im gonna get a tattoo done soon...its from one of the albums but its not a popular tattoo...think the popular ones are just boring now

    There's a tattoo artist near me who actually gives you a fake/temp version of the exact thing you want for 2 weeks before you get it. I think it's cool he cares enough to make sure you really want it before he does it. You should see if anyone can do that for you. Only downside is you pay $60 for a deposit and you don't get it back if you change your mind. I'd say $60 is worth escaping a lifetime of an unwanted tattoo

    but for your concept, maybe the no code triangle with the word sometimes in it?

    ı think sometimes is so much better than no code. ıt makes wonder

    I'm pretty sure about getting the 'Alive' logo (The little man with his arms spread) on my right shoulderblade, just not sure about size yet, or text, if any.
