Wanted a tattoo for ages now, but have never been able to settle on what I wanted. It came to me the other day, albeit I was inspired during a film though lol… “γνῶθι σεαυτόν”, It means “Know Yourself”. 10 cool points to whoever gets the film. Funnily enough the film Is one of my favourites too, and the quote is important to it too. This is just a bonus meaning though ;D
I didn’t pick It cos It sounds cool, I genuinely put alot of thought behind this. After going through shit throughout my life, mainly my mental Issues hehe, I had to spend alot of time looking at myself. Before I was on the right road to sorting myself out, I used to obsess over how other people saw me, and how I saw them. I created a person I thought I should be, from who I thought others were. It was only when I started to look within myself, and believe in who I really am, that I started to see the truth to the world. Hence, “Know yourself” 😉
Anyway, unfortunately I can’t use any Fonts on the foreign text (Ancient Greek I believe, doesn’t translate as normal Greek), so I can’t photo shop It, but here is the text, and a tattoo with the font style and positioning I want.
The Matrix?
What are the cool points redeemable for now please?

Collect 100 and receive a secret prize! Im sorry you’ll have to wait and see :laugh_at:
Nice one for that link! I had seen 2 ways of writing, but assumed one was a slightly different era. Not sure If I prefer capital letters, or lowercase.
I know someone In Sheff who does home tatts. Sounds dodgy, but he used to have a shop, apparently he’s fucking ace. Even better than who he left to run the shop they say. Unless anyone knows a place close… Im gonna have to give It a few weeks, but just wondered what people thought really, and gives me time to tweak anything.
Thats the best way mate, if you know someone and seen their work first hand what better recommendation do you need.
I have some big plans for a leg piece ,a huge fractual optical illusion, just the small matter of the large amout of cash required is foiling my plans 🙁
nice idea, i too am getting a new tattoo this christmas 🙂
