If you want to get a quote as a tattoo then you should. No one here can tell you not to, and it shouldn’t influence you what others say. Sometimes you just know you want a tattoo when you see it/think of it. I have 2 quote tattoos and it’s almost as Mott said:

I live by mine, and I’m glad I got them. My first and second tattoos are pictures and people would always ask me what they mean, why I got it etc., where as a quote they read it and say “awesome….whats that from?” If you’re looking for a quote, look them up and find one you can connect to.

The hard part isn’t finding the quote, but the font that fits it the way you want it to.

that looks lkike it might be a bit hard to cover up due to the shape of the tattoo. But I think a bull might be your best bet. It could be a bucking bull where the bottom dot are (is) one of the front hooves and the and the tail could be the right of the original tattoo.

Just a thought

What about a cross (maybe some type of frozen one or ice effets on it) with a hockey stick leaning on one side of the vertical beam and ice skates hanging on the other side on the horizontal beam.

I say keep it like that (unless you’re completley sure you want to add to it) because to me that’s just an awesome rockin tat by itself. But, maybe you could do something like a galaxy type thing behind it. You know, moon, stars, planets, black wholes, red dwarfs, etc etc. That could be cool.

That looks awesome! It made me smile when I saw. How long did it take and where is it?

Man I haven’t played thief in ages!

I did find one picture of a glyph in Thief. I don’t remember where it is, but it could be a “protective” glyph.

and then if you go on Thief wiki and scroll down to where it says protective glyphs…

http://thief.wikia.com/wiki/Glyph

and click on either compound, library, or door glyph you’ll notice the same symbol in the upper left side of the article

maybe not what you were expecting but definitely something to start on.
