Memorial Tattoo Quotes

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.

~ Inscription on an Irish Tombstone.

The loss of a loved one is a terrible mishap to bear, and those who have suffered such fate know how heart-rending the experience can be. The demise of an individual you are truly attached to can tear your existence apart and make you unable to find joy in anything. The world seems to lose all its meaning for you and you feel disinclined to live any longer. But live you must.

Man has always feared death for this very reason. Separation from dear ones is the main cause of worry that death gives you. And yet, everyone has to die sometime or the other. Mortality is truly a curse, if you think that way. And even the thought of dear ones dying before you can be terrible for you. It is something that you would not even wish to think about.

When a dear one is gone, it is only the memory of the times you spent with that person that remains for you to cherish for as long as you live. You treasure those times and think of ways to preserve those moments - through photographs, writings or tattoos.

Of late, it has become popular to tattoo the skin with words that rekindle the memory of a lost loved one. Many people love the fact that such inscriptions comfort their grief over the departure of their dear one and make them feel the invisible presence of that person throughout their journey of life.

These are some beautiful quotes that you may often come across on memorial word tattoos:

I loved you, but God loved you more.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

Love will keep you alive.

Gone but never forgotten.

'Tis a fearful thing to love what death can touch.
