Protect and love are two words that I strongly believe in and I was considering getting them both tattooed on me at one point. Fate on the other hand is something I definitely do not want on me, because I just don’t believe in it.

I personally don’t like the look of the banner, it’s just too much for me as I prefer simpler tattoos.

Right now I’m considering getting this phrase i made up in Sanskrit:

Protect those that you care for those that you love.

Or

Protect those that you love those that you care for.

As you can hopefully see, in the first line ‘care for’ is the end of one sentence and the beginning of the other. As is ‘love’ in the secon phrase.

What do you think??

Appreciate the responses so far. As much as I think the foo dog is pretty cool, as a first tattoo it would be pretty dumb. I really want the first one to be meaningful and then I can worry about going abit crazier after that.

The two areas I want to get my first tattoo is either underneath my arm (triceps?) or forearm/ wrist area. Or if I plan to get a smaller one (like the word protect) I would get it on my lower neck area on the side further towards my back than front.

Regardless, position is really not a big deal for me. I’m pretty decisive when it comes to that. It’s just deciding WHAT to get that is killing me.

On that topic. Does anyone maybe have any symbols that mean ‘I protect others’ or something like that? Even some phrases?

Thanks again!
