Looking to get a tattoo to remind me that pain is inevitable.?

Question

Im looking to get a tattoo that has to do with pain. Something that reminds me that pain is inevitable . I was thinking of getting ''life is pain'' but i think it might be too cliche and emo.

Answer 1

You could get something like a dagger piercing a heart surrounded by a thorny vine. I think that would look good. Or if you want the phrase, look for it in latin or something.

Answer 2

Pain is a bit general and subjective. Life and pain, can be pregnancy, slaveries, even religious icon of crown of thorns.  Pain can be loneliness, pain of the heart.  Pain in French is bread - little humor to ease the pain.  Pain in its inevitability is Death - pain of lost - pain in the heart and soul - at least for most of  us.

Answer 3

latin phrase definitely. its misterious and would do the trick, people would. life is pain = vita est poena
