Tattoo Ideas....what do ya think?

This are the two tattoo's that I really want, I havent decided which one i want to get first probably the celtic one, but the anchor one is really really cool, and all the wording there is what the anchor stands for, and the verse that goes with it, and then the verses broken down to what it means. also with the celtic one not only do i want to get it for the religious aspect but also because i am irish as well. so tell me what ya think of them, AND if you have ideas where i should get them drop that in yo comment too.







The triquetra (often, triqueta) is a tripartate symbol composed of three interlocked vesica pisces, marking the intersection of three circles. It is most commonly a symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, son, Holy spirit) used by the Celtic Christian Church, sometimes stylized as three interlaced fish.
I was thinking of getting this one one my hip what side i havent decided.


or
I was thinking of getting this anchor with Hebrews 6:19 somewhere on it either down the side (long part) or along the bottom. and i was thinking of getting it on my back in the middle on either the left or right side. again i havent decided that part yet.

Anchor: found in the first century cemetery of St. Domitilla, the second and third century epitaphs of the catacombs, and especially in the oldest parts of the cemeteries of Sts. Priscilla (about 70 examples in this cemetery alone), Domitilla, Calixtus, and the Coemetarium majus. See Hebrews 6:19.

Hebrews 6:19: This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil

This is the anchor of verse 19 which continues verse 18: "This hope we have as an anchor of the soul." In other words: What anchors our soul is not our subjective confidence, but the sure objective reality that God has promised. This is our anchor. And this is what we are to lay hold of.
So the writer's point is that what we are hoping for is absolutely sure. He uses three descriptions of the anchor to stress this. In verse 19b he calls the anchor (the hope), "both (1) sure and (2) steadfast and (3) one which enters within the veil." The anchor is sure, certain and safe. The anchor is steadfast, firm and reliable. The anchor is lodged within the veil. This is a reference to the veil that hung across the inner sanctuary of the tabernacle and concealed the arc of the covenant where God in his glory met with the high priest once a year as he brought a blood sacrifice to atone for the sins of the people.

i love the idea of both of them and i think that the second one would be really cool on your back, where you said you were thinking of putting it.
