Seriously, six years later and I'm still obsessed with my own tattoo. Thanks to all the people who enjoy it too.

I'm not so keen on the lettering, but that's just personal preference, nothing to do with the tattoo.
Other than that, I really quite like it. It's clear, it's short, and is a very good little quote from an amazing writer!

Thanks! Honestly, it didn't hurt very much at all. I was very surprised. But maybe I'm an anomaly. Who knows. Haha.

I  asked for a custom script from my artist. I said that I wanted something beautiful but not too girly.

really nice choice!! i want a shakespeare tattoo but i think its kinda long. its the quote in my signature.

There is so such thing as a quote that's too long. All my tattoos are quotes. Its the best to be covered in w rods you believe in.

i love your tattoo!! i'm planning to get one on the ribs too..but i'm kinda worried about the pain though..

is it true having one on the rib is more painful rather than having one on your hip? this will be my first and i'm a bit confused on where to put it

The one on my hip hurt way worse than my ribs...
