It was used as the title of their song by members of a musical group called Alphaville back in 1984.

The bold motto quickly "went to the people", began to be used in the slogans of advertising campaigns, in cinematography and other forms of art. It is the middle of the 80s of the XX century that can be called the time when this phrase first appeared in the sketches of tattoos.

• wrists;
• lateral part of the hand;
• Feet;
• neck;
• the area between the shoulder blades.

It will be possible to make it inconspicuous if you select the area of ​​the lateral surface of the fingers for application.

On the feet, such a manifesto can be placed over the feet or on the heels. The large inscription on the legs looks interesting - the words are divided, one for each leg. Also, among the areas on the body where such tattoos look harmonious, you can highlight the collarbone and back, the area on the shaved temple or under the hairline at the back. On the chest, large letters are located from left to right, across the entire width. On the side, the inscription is placed vertically.
