I’m thinking about getting my second tattoo, which is going to be the first opening lines from a Dylan Thomas poem: Do not go gentle into that good night.
I’m planning to take Do Not Go Gentle and have it running along the back of my neck, sort of where my neck meets my spine. But I’m also considering putting a small image above the quote or maybe running through it/behind it but I’m not quite sure what to do that would relate to this quote. Any suggestions?
I’m not super artistic, but the first thing that comes to my mind is a series of stars…or something that looks like stars or …hmm.. the milky way.
Maybe something *like this…..

Something that represents the ‘night’…. I’m actually a fan of more ‘interperative’ tattoos when it comes to images…so you could work with the artist on some image that looks like/reminds you of a star but isn’t exactly the typical 5 pointed star like in this image.
Or you could get some version of a constillation that you like or represents something to you.
