[help] Best lyrics for tattoo

[Darkifrit]

Hi there,

I’m seriously thinking to make my first tattoo while I’ll be in Japan this spring.

I want to do few sentences in Japanese on the side of my chest and since Ayu’s lyrics are often remarkable, I’m considering it.
For now, I have picked Moments and Love song lyrics as potential choice but I’m not 100% familiar with her lyrics.
May I ask your support to point me songs I should take a read ?
I like original or poetic words. Love can be a theme but not writing in random way like in generic ballads (which I adore to listen).

Thanks for your support

Good suggestion thanks!
I want to do Japanese sentence though

[Aderianu]

How long?

[attractive nausea]

I wonder sometimes that if I were to tattoo myself some lyrics of hers, which one would it be?

So far, I have thought of the last sentence of Tell All lyrics :

僕が君の生きる　証になってみせるよ

Which can be translated as "I will become the proof that you live" or "I'll become the reason that you breathe" according to some translations that I have found

Love song lyrics is a good choice also! I think that you would need to find a song which you have a special connection to so it has more meaning to you

[adrtwb]

a few suggestions of my fav lyrics in short sentences

1.
戦いはそう君へのメッセージ - We are the QUEENS

2.
愛のない　人生なんて
そんなの　生きる自信ない - Love song

3.
君がいなきゃ 何もなかった - TO BE

4.
こんな地球に生まれついたよ
だから君に出會えたよ - evolution

5.
'MARIA' 愛すべき人がいて
きずを負った全ての者達... - M

Yes you are right but must of my favorite songs are not my favorite lyrics’ one, that’s why I ask your advise to make me consider hypothesis I wouldn’t based on my personal taste

I'm planning on tattoing some of her lyrics (among other texts) and I'm still deciding between crossroad, Love song or alterna.

[Party_King]

^ all would be great choices!

Oh i have to give a reading of crossroad.
I adore this song!

Where do you plan to do it ?

The more I think, the more I consider Moments lyrics. The writing is brillant!

I got that in late 2018

I was also thinking of getting a tattoo while in Japan, thought of picking a song from Kumi, and from ayu I thought of Love song:

歌のない 人生なんて
そんなの 見当もつかない

which is iirc "I can't imagine a life without songs/music"

This line is quite good yeah!

Do you have suggestion about Kumi’s songs ? I would consider too but never really paid attention reading translation of her songs.

^ I'm thinking of 歩き続ける 唄い続け from walk (You'll keep on walking, you'll keep on singing) This also made consider ayu's Walk for a tattoo but I guess I connect more to Love song hahaha

I also thought of WALK OF MY LIFE

本当の自分知る人なんて / いないよね (something around No one knows their true self)

or

泣きながら強くなるだろう (I'll get stronger as I cry)

But they seem too dark to me now When I considered this I was having a tougher time in life.

They will be quotes that are special to me. Stuff that meant something or inspired me as a person or professional. ^^

This is right.
Just listened Kumi’s TABOO (which is my fav song btw), I might consider it too!
It fits me. Unstoppable TABOO~


Thanks for the feedback guys, it helped me

Do it! Find a line from a song that you love, something that has always stuck with you and incorporate it somehow. I had the line from HEAVEN which translates to "Whatever end is awaiting us is nothing but destiny" (thereabouts) in the original Japanese text in mine. HEAVEN hit me hard the first time I heard it and the words and tone of the song always make me emotional, and I find that line really gives me strength in times of toughness!

This is mine, I also got the Ayu logo and a similar heart/wing combo that she has on the shoulder. Whatever you go for, make sure to spend some time after you think you've decided on it, don't rush into it. Finalise the idea and then spend a few weeks with that plan in your head before you go ahead, just in case you decided to tweak or change any of it.

I got a few lines from Ivy tattooed. I do also think you should get something that you can relate to or that means something to you even if it is just your favorite song, that works for a meaning too I think.

Thanks guys, your posts are definitely inspiring!
I’ll work on the idea and will keep you informed ��
