Tattoos are becoming a fashion, like it or not. I have two and I'm not going to regret them at all. I just have them on my arms and can be easily covered up with a tee shirt. When I'm 80 and when my skins sags, who cares. For one thing, I'm not going to wearing tanks or have my shirt off. And my skin is going to look like crap with or without the tattoo. IMO, you can't think about it when your 80. Symbols are cool tattoos. Now, getting a tattoo of an image or name that could change is a different story, if you end up hating it.
I vote for No Quote: let the symbols say it all 2nd choice, #7
"America just became stronger"

Zach, that IS NOT a good reason to get a tattoo!!!!
You haven't said where you are going to have this tatto placed, but if it is visible all the time, it will have a negative impression if and when you try and
enter the professional job market......
Zach, here are some sites that should help you:

Who cares what they look like when your 80! It will be the very least of your worries then.

I got my first tattoo on my 50th birthday. Duplicated one that my father had. Got my second one on my 51st birthday...a nice little custom job depicting the Texas Flag waving and transitioning into the stripes of The American flag.
I am a professional, as is my wife, who has a small tattoo on her right foot. We are both quite proud of them and enjoy showing them off.
But, to your point, one must make double ding dang sure they want one...before they take the plunge.

I believe all people are saying is that it is a lifetime commitment that should not be rushed into, but thought about. It sounds like you are ready to go with the picture, but are unsure if the quote. Have you ever thought about getting the picture now and waiting until you arrive at the right quote for you to memorialized your uncle?
Do not worry about the professional image. I have all my tattoos covered by a collard shirt and slacks every day, but that is what is required for my occupation. It is becoming more and more mainstream. I also would not worry about sagging as it will happen over time no matter what and it is your body who cares what others think.
Tell us how it goes…

I'm not a tattoo guy, but if you really feel that this is something you want to do and can live with for the rest of your life, I have no problem with a person making the choice to get one. That said, I've met quite a few people who have gotten "ink'ed" in their youth and regretted it as they've gotten older. My advice, as stated before on this link, is to make sure that you are doing this for the right reasons for you... not because anyone else has done it. What your reasons are I can't say... just urge you to be careful before taking this step.
At any rate, I voted for the "We will not tire, we will not falter..." line. It just struck me as a good line.
