As the person with this tattoo, I want to tell you more of what this is actually meant to mean as it is odd how everyone translates it into their ”own” meaning.

This is the Tibetan Translation for the Ben Franklin quote ”The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason”.

That would be a hefty atheist quote. Meaning, the way to see by faith (god... or any religion), is to shut the eye of reason (to rule out all rational thinking).

I am an atheist, and it is the theme for my tattoo designs on myself.

Next to come will be old english script with ”Fear is the mother of morality”. Hopefully, the religious nut jobs will get that meaning correct.
