I think it's a rather stupid idea to get a tattoo of that kind ...

It would be better just to pick one of the three phrases.
i think its rather stupid that others on here told me the english translations were correct and then you say two of the three aren’t correct.

Each of the phrases are correct in their own right, but picking out a single word from each phrase to put it together to a new phrase is non-sensical. quod periit can mean 'what is past' in the right context, but periit cannot mean 'past' per se. The three words you put together there, "fide vis periit", would end up meaning "power vanished by trust".
