This phrase is often abbreviated and symbolized through four characters, which consist of a G for God, a greater-than mathematical symbol, and one up arrow and one down arrow.
This combination of characters makes a visual and artistic statement that goes beyond mere words. Due to its geometric nature, this design can fit into almost any other tattoo available.
Each of these characters has distinctive angles that really punch up the drama and make the onlooker really think about what they’re looking at. Because it’s a visual puzzle to solve, this tattoo can be both interesting yet subtle at the same time.
Instead of screaming your devotion to a higher power from the rooftops, you are instead encouraging others to seriously think about their connection to the divine.
The up and down arrows included in this tattoo symbolize the highs and lows, the mountains and valleys. You can take this a step further and actually depict hills and low points, and render your tattoo that much closer to the natural world.
You can also soften the edges of the angles to the characters for a more rounded, feminine and softer look if the pointy angles are too harsh.
The amazing design appeal and simplicity of this tattoo makes it super versatile. You could even use this phrase as a repeating border around another tattoo that could have a special or spiritual meaning to you.
Alternately, you could also dress up the characters and make them the focus.
Don’t sleep on this unique design that incorporates a little cleverness into your spirituality!
