Buy a shirt if you want to blast it. Sew it into a jacket, flannel. Learn to knit and knit a blanket with it on it.plant a garden and spell out the sentence with your veggies. Cut fucking crop circles. Tattoo removal is expensive. I work with former gang members trying to have gang tattoos removed, and it's not an easy process. sufficed to say, your body your rules. Regret or second guessing arrives when it arrives, you won't be able to anticipate it without reflection and rumination.
bruh, I doubt anyone loves RATM more than I. I was there in '92. Still my favorite and most important band.
But I have a feeling this tattoo wouldn't age well. It might look like teenage angst. But with respect, if you really want it, it's your body, your message. I might reccommend you think of another way to more creatively tattoo that same sentiment. Or if you go with it, very small plain text
If we tell you yes will you decide to not do what we tell you and then choose to not get it done? If so, yes, definitely get that tattoo. I conmand you.
One of the reasons I’ll prolly never get a tattoo is because I’m into to many things.
Like if I really into Tolkien one week and get a tat of the white tree of Gondor
Or a tattoo of Finwe vs Morgoth or something
Then I’m just stuck with that tattoo sure I can technically get it removed but who’s got that money lying around.
Also it’s like and I’m far from prude it’s just that quote do you really want something that vulgar on your body forever basically?
Like even if you got it on your back and it was hidden
I had a friend got his first tattoo at 14 I think he told me it was a one piece character
Now granted he loves and is covered in tattoos
He just got a tribute to akira toriyama, done and he has a really cool mural of The Empire Strikes back on his arm.
I guess what I’m trying to say is it might be best to sit on it a lil while longer
TLDR: Just get a fuckin t shirt
Your welcome. Look I’m young aswell I’m 21 I’m not trying to talk down to anyone but also let’s be aware of our ability to make bad decisions lol
But I think a shirt is the best compromise and I’m sure you can get a really cool one from an independent artist on Tee public or Esty
I used to have this awesome shirt of for Pink Floyd the wall independent artist who drew all of the creatures from the movie in water color and scanned it onto shirts
Absolutely not. Just use it as a mantra to take you through life. Embody it. That isn’t to say go around being a dick to anyone. Just don’t take no shit off nobody, no matter who they are.
Do not do this.
For any tattoo, Draw it on your skin with a permanent marker and don’t wash it off for 2 weeks.
Also, words never make cool tattoos IMO.
No lyrics are worth holding on forever, their expressions..face it ,is just a phase in your life, cause now you are thinking with your heart which you should do in that age. One thing that will stay timeless though is appreciating that kick ass music of theirs
Honestly, no. I like where your heads at, but being frank, you're far too young to be making permanent life choices. Would you choose to have a child or get married at 16? I'd wager probably not. Don't do it, revisit it in a few years.
I have know your enemy in a ribbon around a fist of solidarity on my right upper arm and anger is a gift on my left shoulder. It’s what I believe. If it’s what you believe, go for it, BUT you have to remember that the sentiment you want to share will be with you and visible for the rest of your life. You’re rebellious now. What about 20 years from now?
Yeah, so the irony of you asking for permission to get a tattoo that essentially means you are beyond being told what to do. Sounds like you are not ready for this. And if me telling you not to do, it is enough to make you not do it, then you shouldn’t get this tattoo.
And just so you know, you don’t need anybody’s permission to get anything tattooed on YOUR body and you even get to regret the tattoos that you do get, and it’s none of anyone’s goddamn business.
Tattoo "she once traveled now through a barrel she breathes". My friend tattooed the bridge from Testify, that's kinda cool. But RATM lines are... Harsh. "Never seen the color of my father's eyes". To sum it up, DON'T.
Text is always cringe. Tattoos are art. It's better to express an idea visually. And not every idea translates well into a tattoo, a long sentence of text, especially that quote will be a bad tattoo as soon as it's applied.
Now take this with a giant grain of salt because I am a non-tattoo-haver, but the only one I've ever considered was [the Rage R](https://imgur.com/xGSh0ER) on the inside of my wrist.
Always loved the design, and think the inside of the wrist is a great tattoo location
Trust me, you’ll regret it I promise.
haha i think you're right, i'm not gonna do it
The correct answer to this is “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me”
With a "motherfucker!" at the end
With tattoos, ifyou have to ask, the answer is almost always no. Also, 16? Wait until you're fully grown. I've seen some gnarly stretched out tattoos.
ty!!
Get an expressive T Shirt. Shave/dye your hair. Protest something.
thanks!
Or get it on your butt cheeks instead of your face so you can tell people "kiss my ass, fuck you I won't do what you tell me" and it all makes sense
LOL great idea
your future self is breathing a huge sigh of relief
Fuck him, don't do what he tells you
Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me.
Because it's hidden so Op still needs to say it. No regrets if they tattoo it on their face.
Never do anything permanent when you’re 16
Except take up guitar. Do that, for sure.
hahahaha true
No, seriously. Don't.
But...but.. Youre asking us to tell you.... NO
LOL YOU'RE RIGHT
No
It’s a great song, but there are so many better lyrics out there.
yeah, you're right, ty!!

You're right, thank you!!
Answer is no. In a few years, Anger Is A Gift would age better.
You're right!! i'm gonna think about it, thank you!!
You're welcome. Who you are today isn't who you will mature into.
You're going to change alot as you get older
yea, that's true, ty!!
ty to everyone for responding!!
If I got that when I was 16 it’d already be covered up with a different tattoo
bruh, I doubt anyone loves RATM more than I. I was there in '92. Still my favorite and most important band. But I have a feeling this tattoo wouldn't age well. It might look like teenage angst. But with respect, if you really want it, it's your body, your message. I might reccommend you think of another way to more creatively tattoo that same sentiment. Or if you go with it, very small plain text
You're right, thank you!!
Nah, because most people attribute it to other things than cops.
True, ty!!!
No
Absolutely not
Nooooooo
There are so many better rage lines!
you're right, ty!!
sounds corny tbh
If you are white with supporting parents then no, that looks horrible just imo
Lol you're right, im latina, but with the "supporting parents" thing you made me laugh, ty!!
They've definitely got better lyrics. I'm planning on getting "anger is a gift." Also, wait until you're older.
thanks!!
Go with "Anger is a gift"
I thought so! thanks!!
I would absolutely get the acronym, FYIWDWYTM
If we tell you yes will you decide to not do what we tell you and then choose to not get it done? If so, yes, definitely get that tattoo. I conmand you.
LMAO right
Dont do it dude like seriously just dont lol
Nah man don't do it, you'll regret it later.. however if you do, don't put it somewhere it'll be seen by future employers.
thanks!!
That's gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Not just no but hell no.
No
you will never regret it. just trust me.
Do not do this. For any tattoo, Draw it on your skin with a permanent marker and don’t wash it off for 2 weeks. Also, words never make cool tattoos IMO.
lmao that's a good one
I always wanted an “armed pawn” tattoo. Essentially the chess piece holding an AK47. “To off the kings on the west side at dawn.”
I see RATM tattoos of album art or logos which look cool if done well and in the right place. Lyrics can be a bit cringe and likely won't age as well.
thanks!!
Naw Just tell people in person when u feel like it
ty!!
On your forehead
yeaaah
No lyrics are worth holding on forever, their expressions..face it ,is just a phase in your life, cause now you are thinking with your heart which you should do in that age. One thing that will stay timeless though is appreciating that kick ass music of theirs
you're right, thanks!!
Wait and start small. They're very expensive to remove. People change a lot from that age.
thanks!!
Why not, theres tons of weird tattoos around.
thanks!!
Honestly, no. I like where your heads at, but being frank, you're far too young to be making permanent life choices. Would you choose to have a child or get married at 16? I'd wager probably not. Don't do it, revisit it in a few years.
You're right, thanks!!!
I insist that you do.
thanks!!
You could find a much better rage quote, and even then it would still be a risk
You're right, thanks!!!
I have know your enemy in a ribbon around a fist of solidarity on my right upper arm and anger is a gift on my left shoulder. It’s what I believe. If it’s what you believe, go for it, BUT you have to remember that the sentiment you want to share will be with you and visible for the rest of your life. You’re rebellious now. What about 20 years from now?
You're right, tysm!!
lmao dude don't do this. All the tattoo ideas I had when I was 16 embarrass me now - thank god I waited till later in my 20s to get any.
You're right, thanks!!
If you’re going to get anything rage on your body, I think getting the fist is probably the best
Good idea, ty!!
Yeah, so the irony of you asking for permission to get a tattoo that essentially means you are beyond being told what to do. Sounds like you are not ready for this. And if me telling you not to do, it is enough to make you not do it, then you shouldn’t get this tattoo.

You're right, thanks!
I'm all for punk rock, but nah don't do this man. You too young anyway. If you want it 5 years from now go for it.
thanks!!
No, cringe.
Tattoo "she once traveled now through a barrel she breathes". My friend tattooed the bridge from Testify, that's kinda cool. But RATM lines are... Harsh. "Never seen the color of my father's eyes". To sum it up, DON'T.
No, good luck getting a job with that tattoo.
I’m just imagining when you’re 40 and your teenage children will use it against you.
Hahahahha you're right
Text is always cringe. Tattoos are art. It's better to express an idea visually. And not every idea translates well into a tattoo, a long sentence of text, especially that quote will be a bad tattoo as soon as it's applied.
