Many younger people who feel lost or haven’t settled down with families crave exploring life in other countries, areas, or cultures, seeking out life experiences completely different to theirs aiming to expand their perspective on life.Īlong the same vein, many people choose to get this tattoo to represent their freedom and independence. Many people who have grown up in a more insulated community or area, or even larger, more accepting communities yearn to experience culture or lifestyles outside of their own to have a better understanding or appreciation of life. Particularly applicable to millennials and younger generations, many feel more restricted in life experiences and world views, who seek different experiences, curious of life outside of the local or small-town life they’ve always known. ![]() Getting this tattoo is a great reminder of this. The phrase can also largely hold meaning towards those who have never extended past their comfort zone of location or lifestyle, who are seeking to know more about the world, other areas of the world, and different cultures. While there have been numerous recent songs make reference to this exact meaning, there are many versions of phrasing, reverse phrasing, or imagery influenced by the phrase that many have chosen to have inked stands as a reminder to stay true to themselves or their instincts. While an obvious reference to the poem, the classic line, in addition to being a large theme in the Lord of the Rings plot, has been popular in modern pop culture, featured in many recent modern day pop songs, such as Bob Marley’s “Get Up, Stand Up”, Alesana‘s “A Guided Masquerade”, Antemasque’s “Domino Rain”, “Gold” by Prince Kanye West’s “Family Business”. In this play, the saying implies that not everything is as it appears to be. The beginning line of Tolkien’s poem, “The Riddle of Strider“, “All that is gold does not glitter” is a nod to and/or rearrangement of the phrase “All that glitters isn’t gold,” a well-known saying, originally accredited to Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The poem in which this phrase resides is called “All that is gold does not glitter,” appearing twice in the first volume of the Lord of the Rings novels, “Fellowship of the Ring.” We will also discuss some of the meaning behind this quote and what people with the “not all who wander are lost” tattoo think it means to them. In this post, we will talk about places this quote has shown up and in what situations it has been made relevant. This is actually a really beautiful quote with loads of meaning. Some might think those donning the “not all who wander are lost” tattoo are just big fans of The Lord of the Rings but this couldn’t be further from the truth. However, there is a lot more meaning behind this quote than meets the eye. This poem was written for The Lord of the Rings movie. ![]() This is a line from the poem “All that is gold does not glitter” by J.R.R.

Not all action co-op games are bad for blood pressure, though. But what’s exciting for me may get stressful for Console Guy after a while.
