This script tattoo is a bit of a deep cut even for those who like old German literature. This quote reads: "In the deepest hour of the night; Confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write; And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer; and ask yourself, must I write?" when translated to English. This was written by a poet named Rainer Maria Rilke, and it was quoted from a book titled "Letters to a Young Poet."
