    If I were going to get lyrics tattoed, they would be:

    Oh dear dad
    can you see me now
    I am myself
    like you somehow
    I'll wait up in the dark
    for you to speak to me
    I'll open up
    Release me

    my dad died when I was younger and these lyrics bring tears to my eyes just typing them. What an amazing song.
    "Oh dear dad, can you see me now? I am myself, like you somehow."

  • i know someone who wants to get a quote from I Am Mine on their shoulder
  • I'd never actually do it, but I think "explore and not explode" would kick ass. Something about that line just gets to me.
    Exponentially serving. Perpetually unnerving. Vehicle swerving.

    Wow, it's nice to see others have some quotes tattooed.

    My husband was just talking about it the other day...he had brought it up in the past, but I told him no...we both don't have tattooes, so we dropped the conversation every time he brought it up.

    But he said the cutest thing that I couldn't resist...

    "I really want to tattoo our Ten Club names" he says.

    "Ten Club names? What do you mean, honey?"

    "Yeah...IamMine and mysmallself"

    He never posts here, but he thought that was his "Ten Club" name. :D

    He wants to tattoo 'iammine' and 'mysmallself' in lower case and in typewriter format on both of his arms and also in small sizes.

    Ten Club names...too damn cute.

    Didn't say no this time... :D

    Now...the debate is which arm I want my 'ten club' name goes on... hahaha.

    I did end up getting the fernando apocado concept tattoo of dissolving. Ms. Sophia did it for me, she's a great person. I will probably get a sketched hand opened seeping water to the outline of the piece. The words "once dissolved, we are free to grow" will probably end up being the pearl jam words i incorporate toward it. I love that breakdown part in severed hand. Great philosophical outlook.

    Wasn't thinking of lyrics, but have always liked the idea of the stickman on my shoulder. In fact, I've almost convinced myself to have it done. But now I've read this thread and I'm reconsidering..................!!!!
  • the whole second verse to black I know its morbid but it is true.
    Another man moved by sleight of hand.
  • He who forgets, will be destined to remember

  • I was thinking maybe a part of Black, I thout that someone would already write about ...

    All the love gone bad turned my world to black, tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I ever be ...

    But it's too long and might become well, I don't know how to say it in english but heu ... depress?

    I am mine would be a good choice too! Indifference also ... well an d a lot more!
  • See my sig :D

    I've always wanted to tattoo "I guess it was the beatings... made me wise
    But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
    I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down
    Hand on my face, pushed to the ground
    Enmity gauged, united by fear
    Forced to endure what I could not forgive..." somewhere's on my back, but that may be a little much
    I guess it was the beatings... made me wise
    But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize
