Me & my best friend are getting similiar tats. I am in the Army stationed in Germany so I can only do this the 1st week of August while on leave. Our tat is going to be an old school sailor jerry type skull with mine having a camo bandanna over the forehead & her's having a pink bandanna over the face. Ourquote at this point will be "Death Before Dishonor" but we would like something along those lines that connects when we show them together, but still makes sense when they are looked at seperate. Any ideas will be greatly appricated!!

Its more a marine saying, but you could always look towards latin to provide a meaningful phrase.

Semper fidelis (Semper Fi for the common saying) means Always faithful.

Some other phrases you could split up between you could be:

aut pax aut bellum: either peace or war

aut viam inveniam aut faciam: I will either find a way or make one

aut vincere aut mori: either to conquer or to die

concordia salus: well-being through harmony

cor ad cor loquitur: heart speaks to heart

eheu fugaces labuntur anni: Alas, the fleeting years slip by

ens causa sui: existing because of oneself

Per fidem intrepidus: Fearless through Faith

pulvis et umbra sumus: we are dust and shadow

Hope some of these help,
