I want to get a rib tattoo of a quote. I was wondering if any one has any good quotes that can be both feminine and masculine. I have a few ideas:
"the lion doesn't loose sleep over the opinion of sheep"
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the thing I can, and wisdom to know the difference.
Anyone else have quote tattoos on their ribs?

"Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for. It is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan
"There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." Anais Nin
This ones a bit long, but maybe you can take something from it...
"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is much more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change, there is power." Alan Cohen

I want too get two hearts on my ankle. It would represent my wife and I.
How about........"Just leave me be, woman"
"Some are wise some are otherwise". One of Oscar Wilde's best quotes.
Another is " Consistency is the last resort of the unimaginative".
I never understood the whole quote tat thing much less on the ribs ouch!
Keep the ideas coming! I love the ideas so far! I want it to sound feminine but not be question while im in guy mode.
I often fight the urge to correct posts on here, but this one I have to say something, just in case the tattoo artist doesn't catch it. "LOSE sleep."Originally Posted by JuliaC
"Normal is what you get when you average out the weirdness that everybody has." Quote from my SO
Normal is a setting on a washing machine, or another word for average.
The fact that I wear a skirt as a male should not be taken as a comment on what you do, or do not wear, or how you wear it.
I have my permission to express myself in any manor I choose!
Have fun but remember a tattoo is something you'll live with the rest of your life, not preaching, just saying.

Heh... no tat's for me (The SO asked just tonight about a "committment" tat. Apparently a BFF is considering same same.) I don't need you to ink your nody to express your love for me. Besides... needles scare me. But I'm libertarian... do what you want!
I like the refrain from an old Fleetwood Mac song: "...but don't ask me what I think of you, I might not give the answer you want me to! [Oh Well]"
To me it expresses the thought that we should live our lives for ourselves, not how someone else thinks we should.

A tatoo should be something very meaningful to you, not just some hastily chosen saying. Is there some saying that changed your life, or something a beloved friend or relative told you?
Okay, with that said, here are a few suggestions.
Be the change you want to see in the world.

First of all I do not think tattoos on women enhance their bodies at all.
They are sort of "permanent".
Go for one of the transfer types and when your mood changes, wash it off.
Work on your elegance,
and beauty will follow.
I enjoy changing my avatar as I make improvements in my looks. Hopefully I'll always be improving. Tattoos lock that part of your body into a certain look, forever! That's a lot longer than I'm willing to commit too. On top of that, maybe I'm just "old fashioned" but I've never seen a tattoo that in any way enhanced the body of anyone.

Lol how about this one....

I was in the Navy for 6 years and never got any ink.
I would suggest to you that you do the same.
If people were 100% honest, they would tell you that getting a Tat was a big mistake and had they a chance to do it over again they wouldn’t.
Mt advice, which you’ll no doubt ignore, is don’t do it.
You want to look like a girl, at least be a lady about it.
Just being honest, mind you.
George Carlin suggested this one for a tattoo on a person's back:
Please, let's not tell this guy what we wrote on his back.
He thinks it's a sailing ship!
Seriously, once you have settled on a design put it in a drawer. Take it out a year later and, if you still really want it, have it put on. Balance a year of not having the tattoo against the likelihood that you will spend a lifetime with a tattoo that you no longer want.

I can not add one thing to Cheryl's comment. I am ex-Navy and I do not/will never have any tatts - except if and when I get to that point in my life, I will have
"DO NOT RESUSCITATE"
inked across my chest.
When writing the next chapter in your life, start with a pencil and eraser - my first page as Miki is full of eraser marks.
Sorry i disagree with Cheryl. I'm being 100% honest and love every tat I have except for One I got while drunk and didn't give any thought to.
The rest are my aunts names that have passed away, my kids names, my moms Dharma name, a matching yin yang I got with my BFF since high school, and faith, blessing and reason, all hand drawn or calligraphied by me.
My next set is going to be silhouettes of my kids favorite Disney characters. With a peace love Mickey Mouse logo.
Eryn has a very good idea, let it sit for a year before you decide.
Thanks everyone for your concern but I have been thinking about these quotes for a while. I just was hoping maybe to find one that encompases my crossdressing side too. I won't get it without being sure I love it!

personally I have 2 tattoos (and I disagree with the swabbies here). It took me years to decide on them. I would not trade either one (one is paw prints for the cats in my life and the other is a pink breast cancer ribbon for my wife). Although recently a potential paramour said "you have tattoos? So you aren't perfect." well neither was he. I also know that with time tats fade and blur so having something written isn't my cuppa tea. I do agree that if you get one you think about what it will mean in 20 years. I saw one once that was the person's name when read from one angle and their child's name when read upside down. You need creativity for that but your male name and your fem name maybe?
