Like the topic says, I'm having a tattoo.....its either "time stands still for no man" or time stops for no man" which do we think is best? And its going on the back of my forearm.
Def the second mate.
What's wrong with "Left" and "Right"?

How about:

Time waits for no man or Time waits for no one
sounds a bit too cerebral to me surely it should say.....

I've always liked " RUST NEVER SLEEPS " , but I think that was from a Rustolem paint advert and you would have to include the ® .

Its a quote that is as old as English literature.
I believe the original is in Chaucer (c 1390):
" For thogh we slepe or wake, or rome, or ryde, Ay fleeth the tyme; it will no man abyde."

it is repeated in diaries, books and documents changing over the years.
For example we have
Tyde nor time tarrieth no man.
1592 R. Greene

and
Time and tide tary on no man.
1639 J. Clarke


Personally I've always wanted a big W tatooed on each bum cheek so when I bend over it spells WOW!
Although seriously I like the idea of having the Chaucer quote in old english script around the left bicep and
"Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee" John Donne around the right
Lucky Freestyler isnt a tattooist or you would have 'Tim Wanks Foreman' inked on you for eternity.

A pair of swallows on the neck, and love and hate on the knuckles is always tasteful..........

If you ask me...the bigger question is what font are you gonna use!

Consider the weight, case, spacing, kern, colour, language (if not English) and size.

Then what ink you want.




In fact, why bother....life is too short to spend it deliberating such things.
