This is Ally’s tattoo from On the Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau:

I first saw the quote when I was about 14 or 15; it stayed with me for a long time.  Nine years down the road, when I finally made up my mind to get my first tattoo, I decided on this quote because I agreed with the sentiment completely. Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains – we are all bound by something beyond our control.

This is one of my favorite quotes by a brilliant man, and I love the script you chose. Lovely choice!

i think this is a sad sentiment, but I adore the script you have used.
