Constitution/Historical quote ideas for tattoo

[dang472]

This is kind of an odd request, but I’m looking for ideas for a US Constitution theme. I have tattoos on both forearms that will either be covered up or incorporated.
I’m trying to include my 3 boys’ names and tie those in to why the 2nd amendment/Constitution is worth fighting for. I’m looking for a Founding Fathers’ quote or passage from the Federalist Papers that really puts it all in perspective. Thanks, Dan

I like it.

 

[Geno C.]

I have my boys’ names on my upper arm and added a flag and Molon Labe with a Spartan helmet. I figure if it comes to fighting, I’ll be fighting for them.

 

[dang472]

Yep, that’s going to be the basic theme. I kind of want a Declaration of Independence like scroll with “We the People” but add some quotes in the text with the kids’ names.

Make sure the tattoo guy spells better than @ArmyJerry

Am I the only one who asked: "What does the little guy from Fantasy Island have to say about the constitution?"

Whatever you do, research your quote. There are more fraudulent and apocryphal "quotes" on the net than there are real. Any time I see a 2A quote on the net, my first thought is below...

" I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

“The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters.”
― George Washington

Dammit, I’ll probably derail my own thread.

If you are going for "simple, yet effective", do the Three Percenter logo. Simply III

And under it, slightly smaller: TYRANNY RESPONSE TEAM

Brutally effective and straight to the point.

Review everything said in this thread. Choose wisely and good luck man

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.”
― Samuel Adams

“It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
― Samuel Adams

Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”
― John Parker

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”
― Tom Paine

“In questions of power, let no more be heard of confidence in man, but bind him down from mischief by the chains of the constitution.”
― Thomas Jefferson

I wish to have no connection with any ship that does not sail fast; for I intend to go in harm's way.”
― John Paul Jones

 

[Dewey7271]

Figured I’d stick a few I like up

 

[buffalowinter]

And under it, slightly smaller: TYRANNY RESPONSE TEAM

I prefer Tyranny Interdiction Team or even better Tyranny Interdiction Team Specialist

 

[SilentStalkr]

“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace.”

This is one of my faves!

Now this is DEFINITELY a winning entry!

And I just remembered an image from somewhere too. It shows a guy wearing a black t-shirt firing a .50 cal Barrett. Camera angle was from his left right behind him. Let me see if I can find it. It would go quite well with the statement.

 

[Geno C.]

This is one of my faves!

I just got mine touched up a minute again since you brought this up. I might have to add to it

 

[dang472]

I forgot about the Thomas Paine quote. Thanks, that’s going to the top of the list.

 

[Tnc]

Great thread. Just started my coverup last week. Finishing up the flag and will have the Molon Labe and We The People somewhere when it’s finished.

 

[johnnycat]

Just go with "We The People" in the correct script

How bout

 

[Cheyenne Bodie]

No kidding I've been seriously considering getting a killdozer tattoo that says "TREAD ON THEM".

 

[Macca]

I’ve got tattoo’s,& i’ve had the damned expensive things way before they were cool.
Why did I get them?
Fuck knows,but i’m not about to add anymore.Mine are under my shirt & are therefore semi private,private in the sense they’re for me & semi for when I go to the beach & you can ogle all you want at my dad bod.
I personally wouldn’t do it anymore,but if pressed I do like dewwey’s sugggestions,particularly #1.

Hi,

Do a design that says "Trump This" with image of Constitution placed below the words.

Sincerely,

Picture of the liberty tree.

 

[diverdon]

The purpose of the Constitution is to restrain the ability of the government to effect the people, and to insure that the people can effect the government.

I love how fast threads in the Bear Pit turn into this!

best phrase of our founding documents that we all should re read to remember where we came from is "Fuck You You Fucking Fucks, You are Fucked" that is a summation of the DOI.

A free people not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government.
