When you are feeling down in the dumps, find some inspiration through your tattoos.
By Emily Francos — Written on Jun 29, 2019
Sometimes you just need some inspiration, so why not make something that means so much to you a permanent fixture on your body? These female quote tattoos will become a part of you and something you can always look at for inspiration when you are feeling like you are lost, upset, depressed or you don't know what to do next.
Inspirational quote tattoos give you a boost because it is an inspiration that you connect with on a deep level. For you to have something permanently put on your skin, the message really has to resonate with you.
It must be something that shows how you have fought in life and have kept going, that you should embrace yourself and you can do anything you set your mind to. Some symbols such as the arrow tattoos and semi-colon tattoos show that you are strong and you are not letting anything end your story.
The one symbolic quote tattoo that resonates with me is the semi-colon "My story isn't over yet." I love the double meaning behind it. On the surface a semi-colon in literature represents that an author decided to not end the sentence, the author decided to keep going. Then, for a deeper meaning, in life, a semi-colon means that someone decided to keep on living and not end it. This could mean a whole lot of different things, such as when you are an introvert and maybe even depressed, you just want to stay in bed and not do life for a while, but a semi-colon tattoo shows that you get up and live your life without giving up. A semi-colon can mean so many different things relating to mental health, but the inspirational tattoo is a permanent reminder that you are the one in control of your story and that you have not given up and will never give up.
Female tattoos about strength are a great reminder that you are in control of your life.
Don't let others influence you and drag you down. All you have to do is look at your tattoo and remember that you are a warrior and are so strong. God will help you get through tough times by giving you the strength you need to face what's coming.
Remember, when you are choosing which inspirational tattoo you want, pick the one that resonates with you the best. You will feel like the quote or saying expresses you in the deepest of senses because you will have this tattoo for the rest of your life. You will carry the best inspiration for you on your body forever.
