Impossible is nothing

Summary:

Golden-ratio shape using the Mohamed Ali's quote

Description:

Hi fellow artists. My ultimate objective for this tattoo is to never forget my mission in life. I identify with Mohamed Ali’s quote, which has inspired me in moments of doubt and pain and now I want to have it on my body to never forget it.

This tattoo idea started when I saw Ricky Martin’s one. I like its shape which is not drawn by lines but by a prayer. The original tattoo is written in an ancient language that some historians say was spoken at the time that Jesus came but I would like that my tattoo was in English.

This video shows the kind of work RM has done on his body, which in my opinion looks artistic and even spiritual, which are the combination I am looking for:  http://www.wikio.com/video/ricky-martin-intro-backdrop-3084213

In this video of another tattoo, however, you can see almost same shape but in my opinión I don’t like the font, so use this example as a an example of that is not what I want: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c37HLI3YWys

Basically I’d like that the font would represent a creed, a way of life; a font that shows: integrity, honesty, truth, respect, discipline, tolerance, hope, etc.

Just to have in mind, I like cycling, swiming, and running (getting ready for my first triatholon) so if this tattoo can have some sense of movement or looks dynamic would be  a w e s o m e!

In some of the pictures show something that surrounds the prayer that looks like flames, although I would like it to be not flames but more like a “wave of energy” that is kind of broadcasting\radiating its message…

First of all, thanks ALL for their designs, their time and effort. 

Something important is that I thought it would be obvious for everybody but the original tattoo is not a single but a double spiral that at some point surrounds also the upper arm... that's the shape I am looking for.

Having said that, the next element is the background that all of you have added something as a background, for those,  I would like them to be something closer to the style in this video  http://www.wikio.com/video/ricky-martin-intro-backdrop-3084213  to be more specific look at the second: 8-12, 20 and 46-47.

For the Wording: So far the only design that actually starts the phrase from the center\middle is #4782 by enviedesigns, that's the way  everybody should pursue.

On this pictures you will see with better detail:

1.- That the tattoo also does a kind of arm band like you did in 4796

2.- There are more details in the composition of the tattoo
