Hello all! I was thinking of getting a tattoo that says "Weapon of Fate" below my collar bone across my chest in traditional cursive writing. Basically to me it means that I feel I have an affect on the peoples lives I come across. Hopefully in a positive way most of the time. Also it means that I can choose my own destiny with the choices I make throughout my life. I'm just not sure for some reason but it seams pretty cool. Anyone wanna throw some opinions at me? Thanks in advance!

It's a good idea but I think you should represent it graphically rather than through words.
This way over time it can still be pleasing to the eye even if your thoughts or opinions on the subject have changed.
Try picturing those words on an older person and see if they can still pull it off.
I would suggest researching images that represent weapons and fate and see what you can put together from there.
Put those words into pictures.
Keep the words on your license plate or bumper sticker. IMHO

wow, isn't it funny how 2 people who happen to join this forum on the same day have something to add to each others posts....maybe it's just a coincidence but i'm a cynic at heart....if i'm offbase, sorry....to the OP, i'd stay away from words in your tattoo....just my opinion tho...images do far better in standing the test of time....and to the person responding, the reason i doubt your sincerity is that this smacks of a 'someone' we all know and hate...i don't believe in coincidence...never have, never will....but if i'm wrong, i'll apologize later....

Would this be your first Tat? Do you have any other work in the area?

You don't meet many people who say that they have an affect on the lives of people they come across. Someone has a high opinion of himself!

What about the word fate made with weapons or with a bunch of weapons around it??

"Tool of Destiny" is better.
But have "of destiny" done in white ink.

Well, If you dig it then go for it but the fact you felt like you needed to come on the internet and ask a bunch of strangers about something that is personal to you then you might want to wait and think about for a while. I’m not trying to be an ass, it’s just if you don’t feel more strongly about it than that, it might be a mistake.
