Peace quote or similar?

[KRUSTYMAN]

Whether you like them or not I have recently had a tattoo of a dove with an olive branch tattooed on my back and want some script to go with it. I know a lot of people may answer this with 'how about I'm an idiot' but I want something meaningful to go with it. Any suggestions?

Oh i do so hate folk who post the same question in lots of categories, lol.

I've answered in the one you posted in B&S. Now stop posting this all over the site ;-)

Pax Vobiscum It means 'Peace be with you' in Latin

[naomi24]

I think 'pax' would be enough - peace - and besides, that wouldn't hurt as much as 'pax vobiscum'. :o)

[NazNomad]

I repeat ...

"Peace ... not just for hippies"

[sandyRoe]

If you worried about the hurt you'd get henna decorations rather than tattooes. Though I believe they sting a bit too.

[naomi24]

Ouch! Too many words, Naz! Painful!

[naomi24]

I'd worry about the hurt, Sandy! I'm a self confessed wuss!

[anneasquith]

pax , imo

[ludwig]

If it was a chicken instead of a dove you could have had 'Paxo'.

[naomi24]

^^See. A woman after my own heart. Aren't we ladies just brilliant!! :o)))

[naomi24]

Haaaaaaa! You sneaked in there Ludwig!!!

[ludwig]

Thanks naomi, but I'm not a lady :-)

[sandyRoe]

I sometimes think this prayer would make a good 'peace tattoo'
I do my thing
And you do your thing
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations
And you are not in this world to live up to mine
You are you and I am I
And if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful
If not, it can't be helped

[sandyRoe]

But you'd need to be sure to find a tattooist that could spell

[naomi24]

Ha ha! I know that Ludwig - but it was a great idea nonetheless!

Sandy, whilst the sentiment is commendable, in this instance that sounds like agony - and apart from that, krustyman's tattoo is on his back, so where would it all end? :

[anneasquith]

sandy. i dont know about spelling. the aber would require to have a very big back to get all that on !

[sandyRoe]

I think I'll leave it to you to get to the bottom of that, Naomi

[naomi24]

Mmm... I wonder how tall Krustyman is?

[sandyRoe]

If the hallowed words of Fritz Perls started at his neck they might stretch to the tattooee's ankles...
