Life In 19x19

Hi, i am thinking about making baduk tattoo for myself in forearm and the first idea was "put a go proverb which can be recognisable for baduk players in Korea...Ah yeah. it need to be in Hangul only. I found on sensei's a page with some proverbs but all of them are in english. if you have some proverbs in korean please post it or if you can help with tranlastion i will be very grateful.

Here are several phrases.

It'd help if you had a specific proverb in mind - then I can translate it.

Actually, here's a better link I just found. It has some English translations already.

There's a book of korean Go poetry - in bilingual format. "A life of hundred years seems like a game of Baduk", Oromedia publishers. You could pick up a copy and choose something you like.

Imagine getting a tattoo that read 계란으로 바위치기. Don't throw an egg at a wall.

CnP wrote:... Don't throw an egg at a wall.

That is probably a go proverb too.

EDIT: I checked Sensei's Library. It IS a go proverb.

Yes, it's in the page of go proverbs, which I linked to (and CnP quoted)

thx for links now i need to really think about proverbs and general look with background, artism etc.

If you decide to go with "Make a fist before striking", be careful what kind of bars you walk into!
