Does this sound like a neat tattoo idea? Advice!?

Question

I'm trying to come up with something custom for my next tattoo considering my others have become so cliche which is extremely annoying. I've thought of some things I'd like to put into one tattoo, I'm just not sure they'll all mix together right. I'm wanting for this to go on my ribs as well to give you an idea...

I'm wanting the quote "Live rationally, love passionately..." I'm also wanting a heart, probably a rose(obviously both symbols of love), a horse shoe(representing the luck and chance in finding true love), a key(reminding one to open up to those we love and not shut ourselves off). I'm still sort of searching for some other symbols to help represent the quote and love and all that jazz.

Does my idea sound like it could look cool with the help of a good artist? Any other symbol ideas to add? Thanks!

Answer 1

i've heard someone suggest a charm bracelet for a mutliple item idea. i think that it would work for yours as well.

or since you want a rose - maybe to a viney rose and have the other items hanging off the vine of the rose.

i think yours is a great idea.

oh if you like music you can even put a g clef in to the mix

also a sun and moon for the ongoing days of our lives, or an hour glass (i'm a fan of days of our lives and that's part of the show- like sand through an hour glass these are the days of our lives)

Answer 2

well use the heart as a lock...and have a key next to it...with a keychain that has a horshoe and a clover...it will look so cute... email me if u want a quick pic of how it might look like
