She used it to mean that everything was good or okay. This past summer, I remembered it when I was trying to decide what kind of tattoo I wanted. I knew I wanted the tattoo to mean something. I decided I wanted it to represent the major change that was going on in my life – my crisis of faith. Even when my life was up in the air and I felt constant turmoil, I still had this overwhelming sense that everything was going to be okay. No matter what I chose – faith or no faith – it was going to be okay. That’s when I remembered the phrase “five by five.” I knew I would encorporate it into my tattoo somehow. At first, I tried to go for a larger more elaborate design, but in the end I chose simplicity. And I love it.” [Source: mandikaye.com] [...] [...] “So before everyone asks, let me explain the significance of “five by five.” I first heard the phrase years ago when Faith used it on Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

I chose my left wrist so that if I needed to, I could easily cover it with a watch, but I've found that I never wear a watch anymore because I want to see it! I work at a University, and it's not been a problem for me to have the tattoo uncovered - but if I needed to, I certainly could easily do so with a watch, cuff, or bracelet. Good luck with yours!

I inquire about how this tattoo works in your working career and if it's difficult to cover up? I'm considering a tattoo, also on my left wrist, of "Faith" but I am fearing not being able to disguise it enough for a medical career. Any advice would be awesome! :) I think that’s a great tattoo, and the font is PERFECT for what point you’re trying to get across.
