I won't do it justice, but it is for those who have tried or have thought hard about it and it signifies that a period is an author's way of ending a sentence, however a semi-colon means that the story is not over yet. So therefore, our stories are not over yet. Most people get it on the inside of any finger, or the fleshy part of the thumb. My tattoo guy refused to put it on my hand saying that it would wear down or wear off, so I have it on my right wrist, inside. A couple of people have asked about it, and a couple of people have heard of the semi-colon effect.
