non puoi fallire

tattoo from dante's inferno

This tattoo is from Dante’s Inferno, Canto XV.

Chili Engels explains her tattoo:

Full line is as follows:

se tu segui tu stella, non puoi fallire a glorioso porto

(if you follow your star, you cannot fail to reach a splendid harbor)

I didn’t want the whole line on my wrist, so I condensed it to the “you
cannot fail” plus a star.

I have been thinking about getting the SAME quote for almost two years now… I LOVE it!!!! And I think how you shortened it is really unique/perfect for the placement… I’m debating on placement because I REALLY want the entire quote, and if possible the florence coat of arms. Any suggestions?

Dante just makes me so happy. I plan on getting the last line from each book of the divine comedy- starting with “E quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle.” (Thence we came forth the rebehold the stars) on my forearm. :D
