How tacky would it be to get a small tattoo with the phrase Memento Mori?

It would be barely noticeable really, similar to pic related except maybe in a less public spot

thats corny as fuck OP. If you get a tattoo, get something original, something that actually means something. Or not, I don't give a shit.

>> No.7566458

if you get a memento mori, dont get one that just says "memento mori"
get a tattoo of something that ACTUALLY reminds you of your impernanence
if youre set on getting words, at least get something a little less played out

Disgust at himself, he was only a Praetor and already older than Alexander was when he all but ruled the world. I think the next part goes "for he had achieved nothing when Alexander, by his age, had the world subdued at his feet. Presently he resigned his position to seek greater fortune back in Rome" but I cut it down because that's already a fuckton of text for a tattoo.

That wasn't Caesar talking, dipshit, it was Suetonius acting as a biographer. The point of the story is to draw inspiration from those who came before and not to accept your lot in life. Seeing Alexander's statue is what spurred Caesar to create a greater empire still, a greater achievement seeing as he had to conquer the empire first before expanding it.

Thanks bro! That's how I got my first tattoo, I chose something about myself that a lot of people don't know about me, and well I just had a symbol of it inked on me. It's a minimalist tattoo and everyone asks me what it means. It's a great excuse to talk about myself and just learn about other people in general
