Tattoo

[Update: I had two tattoos on my forearms: 

Ave Christus Rex (right)
and
Peace on Earth (left)

When the tattooist saw the verses I had prepared he suggested they were probably a bit too long for a first tattoo, and I had to agree]

Today I will go to the tattoo parlour for my first marking.

I have decided to forgo graphic illustrations of any kind, for now, and use words only.

So I have been attempting to find suitable Bible verses and the list is, of course, endless.

Although the first Latin phrase is not in the Bible. It is generally used by Catholics but the meaning is precious to me; Hail Christ the King!
The only Bible reference is just before the Crucifixion in John 19:3 
And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands.
So it is potentially Catholic trickery to use this verse to praise our King, also because it parodies the classic Roman greeting of "Hail Ceaser".
But the words are plain. So it's edgy.

Therefore, my skin marking, forbidden by law, can potentially have many effects: 
I am stating my belief that I am no longer under the law and may act freely in the grace of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and in His Holy Name.
I am offering a conversation starter to people raised in the wicked - although no more wicked than the Anglican one - Catholic faith.
I offering a conversation starter to those who know the Italian Bible
And I am sharing some powerful verses, which anyone who cares to approach me will probably read, at some point.

Here is my shortlist:

Ave Christus Rex

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me
