Okay so /fit/ I designed this tattoo, kinda and I'm wondering if I should get it or not or if I'm just memeing really hard and am gonna end up looking autistic. The wolves inside are based on that old Cherokee parable you always see in motivation threads (the good and evil battling inside where the one you feed wins) , but they also carry personal significance because my father told me this story when I really young just before he died. The Sanskrit text around it translates to "the line between good and evil runs not between cultures, nations or creeds but through every human heart" (a quote that strongly aligns with my own personal beliefs, as a spiritual person) basically saying "if I can change, and you can change, maybe the whole world can change". This is something I try to live by, trying to be the change I want to see in the world and spreading a message of love and compassion, because I believe that people are basically alright really just changed by circumstance. A lot of things in life are transient but this is a mantra id like to live by for the rest of my life, something permanent. On top of the meaning associated with it, it'll also look pretty badass. I'm thinking either shoulder or left pec, above the heart. I really want to get it but I'm a little autistic and prone to poor decision-making. So what does /fit/ think? Should I get it or is it just cringe?
Also, general tattoo thread (opinions, regrets etc)

Native american story, quote from a Russian writer in sanskrit. Pretentious and degenerate as fuck.
If bait, 9/10

If it means something to you then go for it but do the 12 month rule and think about it hard. Also the dialogue may be hard to do right and will likely get butchered unless you pay a few thousand for it.
I always preferred simple abstracts.

I don't believe in nations mate, the use of multiple cultures further backs up the quote. And I don't mean to come across as pretentious, there's just genuinely meaning attached to each aspect of it

Go see a tattoo artist and talk with him.
Take advice from people who know their shit. You should go to /gd/ to listen what they have to say on the design point.

Some extra info: this tattoo reflects my most closely held sentimentalities, a memory of my father and my personal spiritual beliefs (written in Sanskrit because immersing myself in aspects of Hinduism and Buddhism helped me overcome my drug addiction). It's more than a passing interest in a meme I kind of like, it's a visual representation of my core values, of my sense of self. It's purpose is to make sure I don't forget who I am, or as time passes, who I was.

You're entitled to your opinion friend. Just out of interest, how old are you and what do you do?

I was going to jump on it until you said it was related to your dead dad. Fuck it man get it. I got a Cubone tattoo when my mom died
But keep in mind white ink hurts like a bitch and faded quick

Im sorry to hear that man, but it's dope that her memory lives on in a way that's personal to you. My dad died when I was only four and the story is the only real memory I have of him so I went for it.
