^ That sounds pretty cool. I will give you all the details you need.
A little update on my tattoo. I decided to do a little more research into the design, just so I am 110% sure I am getting what is right for me. It is a lion, not a tiger as I previously thought.
The piece itself is made up of a prayer called Naad-E-Ali, which means Call on Ali. The prayer was brought to Mohammed (PBUH) by the archangel Jibraeel (Gabriel). The prayer was a means for Mohammed (PBUH) to contact Ali during the Battle of Khaybar. Ali was not at the battle due to illness, but after the prayer was recited, he came to battle and the the fort of Khaybar was conquered.
The shape of the lion also has some significance, as Ali was known as the Lion of Allah.
There are some beliefs that the prayer will bring protection from enemies and good fortune to whoever recites it.
Examples include:
-“sufficient means of livelihood, for prosperity and overall welfare.”
-“if you want your debts to repaid within reasonable time.”
-“if you are childless and desire to have a child.”

After doing this research I have no doubt that this tattoo is the right one for me. It has a deep meaning that applies to me. Also, some people owe me money, so hopefully this prayer will help me get paid back!
