Sunday, January 3, 2021 is Memento Mori "Remember You Die" Day 2021. Memento mori - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Memento mori

Carpe diem quod meminindus ("you" is male) /memininda ("you" is female) tibi moriebimur.

I must apologize in advance if this turns out not to be correct--it's one of the most grammatically complicated sentences that I have ever seen.

Literally, my translation is as follows

Seize the day because (this is correct.) it must be remembered by you ("remember" is an unusual verb form and I don't know if you can turn it into a "must" form (gerund). You certainly can't do a double command.) that we will die. (this is correct.)

Do you think this would be a good tattoo?

It would be better as "Memento Comer" -- "Remember that you must eat." Some people forget that, these days.

Why do we live as if we'll definately be here tomorow?

Well said kid.
