1: "Always Forward"

2: Hi this is for a tattoo I am hoping to get.

3: I've just had my 40th, so apparently life now begins and I have the rest of my life to look forward too, I am also awaiting the arrival of my second child - definitely something to look forward too, and my surname believe it or not is 'Forward' so i am 'Always forward' whether I like it or not :)

4: I am a man

Thanks for your help

"I say young man, can you tell me where the Captain is?"
"Oh, he's forward ma'am."
"That's all right, I've been out with medical students."

When I saw the title I thought this was some young girl wanting to say "onwards and upwards" but in danger of branding herself as promiscuous.

Seriously, semper porro perhaps, or porro semper so that it trips off the tongue better.

I can't see "always forward" either without thinking of that adjective of disapproval beloved of my grandparents' generation. It carries the same kind of disapproval as that other once popular word "bohemian".

Another thought with an alliterative ring to it - perpetue porro - perpetually forward.

perpetuo porro would be more usual.
