skysoulmate: I like the idea of of writing it in a vertical orientation BUT with letters themselves being in the correct, horizontal orientation. In other words keep the letters flowing when reading from top to bottom.
I've seen it with that orientation....but it seems harder to read? I would have to turn my head sideways. Stacking the letters similar to the way I did seemed more intuitive at first thought. Something else for me to consider. But that pic you posted does look sharp. Perhaps I could get a vertical like effect by giving each word it's own line horizontically centered in relation to each other and incorporating the idea of having it on scroll?
strzyga: Dump Truck, the vertical tattoo might be a good idea, it looks more intriguing than the horizontal one. I'm glad you like my ideas. If you want to modify it slightly you could use "pozwól" instead of "daj" in both sentences - nie pozwól się złamać and nie pozwól się wyprzedzić. The meaning remains the same but pozwól is slightly more literary and daj more colloquial. "Nie daj się" by itself is "hold your ground" or "hold your own", you could say it to somebody who's preparing for a fight or fighting already, with "pozwól" you lose this connection. But if you'd like to have more letters or something, you may use it. Can you show us a picture when it's ready? :)
So another vote for vertical. Yes, I love your ideas, so thank you once again. And what is your preference for the orientation of the letters? Or the idea I mentioned above? Thank you for the modification idea as well, it seems that may be the better choice as I'm not a fighter in the physical sense - though we all have battles in life figuratively and it is those I am speaking to.
Yes, I will definitely be sharing pictures once they are finished. It's the least I can do after everyone's help! :)
