Nice to see a fellow quote fan.
I've studied tattoos, and their meanings, for awhile.
The idea of tattoos having spiritual meanings for groups of people was something that I was aware of, but it wasn't until watching Chris Garver (of that silly show "Miami Ink") that I learned about tattoos, and their meanings, from Thailand.
I'll admit to having a few guilty pleasures and watching shows of tattoos, "Ink Master" and others, is one of them. I completely enjoy it especially since getting a tattoo is so damn permanent.
Not that the show featured it, but after seeing his tattoo (which is similar to the picture below), I did some research.
The other picture is Angelina Jolie's tattoo which was done in Cambodia, also by monks, I think.
Here is the meaning of what was written:
May your enemies run far away from you.
If you acquire riches, may they remain yours always.
Your beauty will be that of Apsara.
Wherever you may go, many will attend, serve and protect you, surrounding you on all sides.
Anyway, I thought it was cool although the styling wouldn't be for everyone.
And thanks for appreciating my post! Good luck with whatever you choose. I'm sure it'll be perfect for you!
