Tattoo idea.

[anarcho-communist4]

I allready have a red and black star tattooed on my left arm. And its startin to look a bit plain to me. Im thinking of putting "Its better to die on your feet" in an arc above it, and "Then to live on your knees" in an arc below it.

Also, can someone enlighten me on the whole Concentration camp tattoos, the different type of triangles and the like. Where were they usually tattooed on their bodies?

To my knowledge, they usually only had numbers tattoo'd on them and unless you're a Jew with a family member who have lived through that, that would seem insenstive. Otherwise, I would say it's an ok tat though I would never get one myself.

^ this, the symbols where worn as patches on the clothing, tattoo's where only numbers.

here its pretty common to have one of the triangles tattoo'd now, most times its either red (political prisoner), pink (queer) or black (anti-social/lumpen)

Just make sure you get the spelling right, dude.

"It's better to die on your feet"
"Than to live on your knees"

Not being a dick, just sayin', don't wanna see a comrade with a misspelled tat, and those two mistakes are really really common

Oh yah don't worry. I always take 6months+ of thinking before i actually get a tattoo.. I mean they are permanent. Thanks for looking out.
Also a small TC some where on it, for a dead comrade of mine.

That is a lot of lettering. How big is the star? The lettering would probably drown out the star if it was done at the proper size.
