So, this is my second tattoo.
It is an Ensō circle, also known as a Zen circle.
I decided to include the saying to add a personal touch.
It stands for a lot of things that I think are wonderful, and
Wikipedia describes those things pretty well =]

'Ensō (円相) is a Japanese word meaning "circle" and a concept
strongly associated with Zen. It symbolizes the Absolute,
enlightenment, strength, elegance, the Universe, and the void; it can
also symbolize the Japanese aesthetic itself. In Zen Buddhist
painting, ensō symbolizes a moment when the mind is free to simply let
the body/spirit create.'
