Thread: Translation for tattoo please

Could you please tell me the difference then? And that is not the sentence I want as tattoo, it's this: ''My life, my decisions'', but I mean it like this: "This is my life, I make my own decisions, I don't have to listen to you all''. Thank you for your opinion, Russians don't like tattoos at all, right?

The difference is slight and hardly explainable - mainly stylistic. All mean the same - exactly what you want. I'd prefer "Мне жить - мне решать." It sounds more aphorism-like.

Though there is a ready-made aphorism: "Позвольте мне самому сделать свои ошибки." = "Let me make my errors myself."

Tattoo is popular enough among young Russians.
