Personally, if I were going to tattoo a quote on me, I wouldn't remove half of the lyric for appearance sake. I'd figure out ways to rework the tattoo design so that you can fit all of it in. I'd say do some research on lyric tattoos, even traditional yakuza tattoos and how they are places, since they use a lot of traditional Japanese imagery. Personally, I like the idea of a rib tattoo, if you wanna write it in traditional right to left, top to bottom in a small size text. It gives enough room and looks good, following the length of your body. Or, on the right shoulder blade. That's just my opinion, anyway.
I have to say, I like the idea of getting lyrics much more than getting an 'A' tattoo. This way, if you ever fall out of love with Ayu's music, there is still a line that you can connect with. I don't listen to sifow's music much anymore, though I still love her and her lyrics. I want to get some of hers tattooed. They really motivate and move me. One day I won't really care about her looks or the sound of her music, but a quote that I know means to be strong will still have meaning to me.
