Getting a tattoo of some song lyrics can be as tricky as getting, well, any tattoo, really. You have to ask yourself, "Is this something I will still have an affinity for 10, 15, 20 years down the line?" "Do I really want 'wake up in the morning feeling like P. Diddy'" on my person until death do me part?
Sure, it may seem like a great idea to get your current favorite song's lyrics permanently inked into your skin right now. But take a second to think about whatever your favorite lyric was five years ago. Got it? OK, now aren't you glad you don't have that brazenly tattooed onto your forearm!? See what we're saying? Tricky business!
That said, there are some song lyric tattoo success stories, and Flavorwire has assembled a photo gallery documenting 13 examples of cool song lyric tattoos.
