Carpe diem tattoo designs are not too common although the Latin phrase they represent, "Seize The Day", almost perfectly describes the art of tattooing. Tattoos in general are art that will not last, they like us, are mortal and will return to dust someday. Getting tattooed is an attempt to seize the day, to live each moment to the fullest. Often this type of throw caution to the wind attitude can result in some regret.
