Well, since you showed me yours...Originally posted by Six-String Samurai
My first tattoo was the words "Carpe Diem" on my left arm, which is Latin for "seize the day".
I had two ideas in mind: one is the the Greek word "Eudaimonia", but I would use the original Greek characters instead of the English ones. The word roughly translates to "flourishing" or "happiness" and is the core of Aristotle's ethics. The other is a symbol that is the earliest-known written appearance of the word "freedom" (amagi), or "liberty." It is taken from a clay document written about 2300 B.C. in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash. You can see it here.
