    Default Good vegan/animal rights quotes or proverbs for a tattoo?

    Hello everyone! I've been searching for ages and then realised, where best to ask than a place where everyone has the same thoughts in mind? I would really appreciate it if you could offer any small quotes that would be apt for a tattoo?

    So far all I have is...

    (An adaptation) "May all that have life be relieved of suffering."

    The only other that is nice, but I am unsure about is...

    "Be the change you want to see in the world."

    I've managed to find a vegan tattoo place run by a very strict vegan so everything is all ok on that part!

    Sorry to just hop in and straight away and ask this question!

    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    i had the word liberate tattooed on the side of my hand. as social worker with children this has provide a lot of opportunity to explain to them about animal rights and veganism and to highlight to them a different perspective on things they believe without thinking e.g eating meat.

    I am getting another tattoo soon with human liberation-animal liberation.
    i know these are both ar related but if you try a search on yahoo images for vegan tattoos are there was lots of designs and good quotes.

    How long of a quote would you be willing to use?

    "No Compromise" thats the most famous vegan phrase I know of. I've often pondered getting that tattooed somewhere on me. some day I'm sure.

    Maybe itīs not well-worn as a tattoo, but I like; "I donīt eat anything with a face"

    I may be getting a tattoo next Thursday, so I'm really down to the wire, timewise, as to what design to ask for. I'm thinking of getting an outlined "Ahimsa" written in Sanskrit with a magenta lotus flower "blooming" from it on my forearm or middle back (btwn my shoulder blades). They're both pretty overused and common tattoo ideas, though.

    I'm planning full sleeves, but the artist I've found with vegan ink is only available for a two hour session before he moves 2,000 miles away. I didn't really want several different people working on my sleeves. I want them to flow well and look like a continuous design, rather than lots of little ones. So I'm kind of stuck... wondering if I should keep the appointment and get the tattoo. It's the only tattoo artist I've ever seen within a 4-5 hour drive that uses vegan ink.

    My vegan tattoo is straight and to the point, it has crossed wrenches and says straight edge vegan...it starts alot of conversations about veganism.

    Perhaps a good ol' fashioned 'vegan' tattoo? I got one cross me belly a few years ago and I absolutely love it. I pretty sure I've seen a few others with them in the tattoo thread as well..

    What an excellent idea! I have been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for a while now, and I would love to get one that speaks of my veganism. I did a quick google search and came up with these two sites which have plenty of examples.
