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.
