Getting a tattoo should always be a personal choice and many people decide on getting a famous quote tattooed on various parts of the body. Depending on where you would like to be tattooed, you should always remember not to try and squeeze too many words into a small area such as a wrist or nape of the neck.
Over time the words will blur and so you want to make sure the tattoo quote still keeps the detail and crispness of when the tattoo was fresh.
If you are looking to get a quote or saying that is fairly long have a think about placement eg. on the ribs or on the back etc.
Here are a selection of quotes that we have compiled. Feel free to use these or come up with your own!
