using lyrics from Moments as my first tattoo

[x_xiii]

so im going back to taiwan in may
and i want to get a tattoo thats meaningful
therefore
i chose this part of the lyrics from Moments

花のように儚いのなら君の元で咲き誇るでしょう

そして笑顔見届けた後そっと一人散っていくでしょう

If my life is transient like a flower
I'll be in full bloom by your side
And after watching your smile
I'll fall alone, quietly

what do you guys think ?

[rikku411]

Wow, all of that? haha. Those are good lyrics for a tat

Where are you getting it?

[x_xiii]

hahaha
i think im just gonna get the japanese part
im not sure where i'll be getting it
but i need to have a good look around first
dont want some crappy tattoo artist screwing it up = - =

Heh.
Those are some of my favourite lyrics by Ayu
I think it's a nice idea~

[Chiharo]

Wow!
That's awesome!
I love that part of the song!

[jon_the_d]

when he asked where you are getting it, I think he meant where ON YOUR BODY!!!, and if he didn't then I do.

I suggest having it in 4 lines though, it would look better.

also, how old are you?

[x_xiii]

o ooops =P
im thinking about having it go from my ankle down to my toes
i would LOVE to have it on my wrist, but my mom would skin me alive if she sees it xD
but ya
any other suggestions on where i should have it on ?
im 19 turning 20 =]

[letthemeatcake]

that's awesome. i'm just not a tattoo person... =/ but they are great lyrics

[wenren93]

haha, nice lyrics ;D that's the last chorus of Moments right? ( Moments is the 1st song that i've heard from Ayu.. and then i fall in love on Ayu XDD )
i used that as my phone msg ringtone, wuahahha.
mind upload ur tattoo picture when u done it? ( sorry.. though i hate tattoo people ;X no offence)

[prussian blue]

me too~
its my first song to introduce me to ayu~
r u sure you want to do that?
the lyrics is long~~
and what kind of pattern it will be?

[x_xiii]

hahaha yeah
i really really like that part of the lyric
can relate to it in a way =]
im still not sure what kind of pattern i'll be getting it in
but for sure
i'll upload it when its done

[jon_the_d]

if you're having it "down a limb" then I'd suggest having it written in two lines, vertically top to bottom, and with the first line on the right hand side.

If you are having it on an "area" of your body, I would go for the 4 line block as I said before.

I would also be careful to make sure that whoever pts the writing on to your arm is familiar with japanese script. I have seen som every dodgy looking "chinese" (or Kanji) tatoos in the UK, just because they didn;t realise the importance of strokes and flow and proportion. the looked pretty laughable to anyone who knew the language.

I like the idea though.

how about adding an ayu "A" symbol at the end of the verse?

or perhaps a replica of her "ayu" signature" LOL!

you were signed by ayu!!!! forever!!!! so cool.

THAT'S WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT !!!
if something like that happened to my tattoo
i'll die - _____ -
i like your over all ideas
but the "A" signature thing from ayu is too hardcore for me xD
im not that big of die hard fan as i used to be =[

[Madden-X]

I wouldn't so it if I were you.. I know people who are 40 now and NONE of them doesn't have any regrets, even if the message is so pure and amazing.. in the end, it's just a scar on your skin

So I should really watch it if I were you.. even if it was the big and almighty ayu

That's just what i was going to say. That part of the song is beautiful though. I wouldn't mind the pain just to have those lyrics on me.

Also, apart from the meaning, the "kanjis" used there are beautiful. Are you going to tatoo it on japanese or in english??

[Kodayumi]

Beautiful lyrics.

[abcabc]

are they more beautiful in japanese than english? reading the english, i mean it's good, but i'm thinking degree is a bit lost in translation?

[ImpactBreaker]

Are you a guy or a girl? Because those lyrics are rather girlie LOL

[jon_the_d]

lol impact. you need to get in touch with your feminine side more

guys have feelings too!!!

must be done in the original japanese...english translation just won't do ...

[fanmail]

wow. that is gonna be so painful to get done. good luck with it though XD
