"Beautiful" Arabic tattoos
"Beautiful" Arabic tattoos

Although it is not uncommon to see Arabic lettering tattoos in the United States, many Muslims residing in Middle East countries like Iraq, Iran and Saudi Arabia (particularly followers of Islam) are staunchly against it. Informed readers may be scratching their heads and wondering, "But what about henna?" You are absolutely right. Henna, the art of decorating the hands and feet with a paste made from the Hina plant, originated in the Middle East. The women there adorn their bodies with Henna to celebrate births, victories, birthdays, circumcisions and especially weddings. And yet tattoos are strictly forbidden because, unlike Henna, which washes off within several days, tattoos are permanent. It is unlawful to have anything on your body which God did not create--tattoos, piercing, even plastic surgery procedures are an abomination. Unless it is done to eliminate pain, all surgeries which alter one's appearance in any way are against Islamic law.

Of course, this does not prevent Arabs and non-Arabs alike from getting Arabic tattoos. I always recommend consulting several different sources if you're looking to translate an English word or phrase into a foreign language and are not a native speaker of the language yourself. When it comes to Arabic translations, however, this task may prove to be a bit difficult; due to their religious beliefs, some Arabs will not even partake in the translation if they know it will be used as a tattoo.

If you are interested in getting an Arabic tattoo, keep in mind that Arabic is written from right to left using 18 distinct letter shapes which may vary slightly depending on which letters come before and after. The shapes will change in order to be connected to the letters that surround it. There are also different types of script used in traditional Arabic calligraphy as early as the 7th century: Farsi, Naskh, Kufi, Deewani, Req'aa and Thuluth. Again, it is important to consult several different sources to ensure your translation is correct. Native speakers or scholars of the language are your best bet. Although the Internet is ripe with translation services, finding one can be difficult when it comes to Arabic because there are not many that specialize in Arabic translations. Here are two that I have found: Your name in Arabic and Arabic translator

ARABIC TATTOOS

WOW these people were fooled. the top picture isnt arabic, i dont know what it is, but it isnt.

the first big picture, the last 2 letters mean brother the first few, i have no idea what he was tryin to do...the second one is alright except the last letter looks like it has only one dot, should have 2, maybe it does?...next looks like hebrew, not 100% sure, next, the mujahid, the guy who practices jihad...not necesarily a violent one, could be a self struggle thing to overcome temptations and all that fun stuff, next one looks fine to me, although kinda a stupid looking tattoo...the next one isnt love in arabic, love in arabic is 2 letters thats 4 there. it doesnt even use the emphatic h, just the light one, its just wrong in arabic. next one is correct. The last one is an abomination to the language. Those are letters ok, but random letters, arabic is a cursive script, they arent even connected properly, so whoever told her she got somethin cool was wrong, thats not even right in simliar languages w/ the same script, thats just 100% wrong in all languages, i cant believe youd get that and not have it checked out, jesus.

such a shame that people do not properly research tattoos.....better to wait a month to find out if it's correct, than have it on your for a lifetime spelt wrong. shame.

I was wondering if anyone could help me.

I was hoping to get a tattoo with the Arabic word "love".

I may be wrong, but as I understand it, the are many different ways to say it. For example, there is <love> between friends, <love> between lovers.

I am looking for the word "LOVE" as in the concept--for example, serenity, courage, hope-->these are concepts.

Any help would sincerely be appreciated. Thank you.

Kate  says:

Wow this is awful. The first tattoo... the very last two letters are fine, that does read brother, but the beginning? I have no idea. And the third one is Hebrew. AND the last tattoo... it is ALL wrong. You can't start words with thos letters, they are connected properly, and those aren't even words. This is why people should never get tattoos in a language they themselves cannot read/write/speak. These people deserve to walk around with jibberish on their backs for being so stupid.

wow! I am very upset when I saw some of these tattoes! I mean a tattoo is forever. WHY WOULD PEOPLE PUT JUST ANYTHING ON THEIR BODIES! I am a Caligraphy " Arabic classical" artist.

THese tattooes are horrible with the exeption of Hayam which means Love. Picture 2, 4, 6 and 7.

The first picture says relatives/Brother. But in arabic it does not sound correct, also the handwriting is terrible!

Picture 5 with the butterfly says " I will love my mother forever" But the handwriting again is like a first grader terrible!

Ohhhhh MY GOD! the last picture is a disaster! why why why... the three worlds are wrong, mis-spelled, missing letters, and incomplete. Serenity in arabic is SAFA it reads Afsa. The second word means strength in arabic is SHAJA'A it reads shataja. the last word is supposed to mean courage but its means retaliation.. and its supposed to say " MUQAWAMA" it reads MEMWAQA. Please sue someone!

ayah  says:

Good grief, what a mess, especially that last one. The people who were asking about "love," don't use "hayam" unless you really mean an insane, unbalanced kind of passionate love....not appropriate for a tattoo dedicated to mom :)

Bit of advice, unless you're with a native speaker you trust won't let you make a fool of yourself, don't get anything tattooed in Arabic.

meghann  says:

why are all you non- arabic (not aribic by the way) speakers wanting to get tattoos in arabic? i'm sorry but you don't speak the language, you don't know arabic culture, you've probably never been to an arabic speaking country.... why?? really? that would be like me getting a tattoo in russian script. it's beautiful but i have no connection to it. have some respect.

Catherine  says:

My Boyfriend is from the Middle East and speaks Arabic and while searching for some insperation for a tottoo design for myself we came across lots (and lots) of people who have tattoos in Arabic and he was totally shocked as pretty much all of them don't really mean anything, just people putting random letter on that aren't joined as they should be therefore the script is meaningless. His advice is never trust these translation sites or take a strangers word that it means what you think it means, only get a tattoo in Arabic if you know and trust the translator 110% You also have to be careful of copying Arabic Art from pictures in books etc as lots of the art has religious quotations in them and this an be offensive to some Muslims if you are parading it around on you body. I understand why people want things written in Arabic as it looks beautiful but be careful, show respect and only do it if you trust the translation!!!

lol... As mentioned above, the arab speakers have confirmed that many tattoos shown here are actually hebew, NOT ARABIC! Big difference people, example of this is the one that says "Forgiveness". I just want to comment on one more pic, the last one is just a disaster, as Maja said. Why dont you people consult with someone before permanantly messing up your self. Also, most of these writings look like they were done by a 5yr old! Check out arabic Calligraphy: Its a beautiful art.

"why are all you non- arabic (not aribic by the way) speakers wanting to get tattoos in arabic?"

Oh, maybe because it's a beautiful script?

It's also a hilarious assumption that people who don't speak a language know nothing about the culture. I know FAR More about my heritage than do people who are of my heritage AND speak the language (which I do not). Language and knowledge of culture are not two things which are dependent upon each other. It's the same sort of assinine attitude that makes you look like a jackhole and an arrogant ass. Perhaps instead of knocking people, you could try encouraging them to learna bout the culture. Is it any wonder people get stereotypes and negative opinions about other cultures when those who are part of it put up barriers and speak to others in a rather derisive manner?

morocain  says:
2 years ago

the best advice I can give anyone looking for a word or phrase in any language is to search for them with specification to gender use and part of speech. If you want a descriptive word or phrase, you need to go beyond the root word alone. It makes the search much longer and harder, but it will pay off. I suggest using a reliable source such as a dictionary or native speaker to find a transcriptive version of the word and using an online transcription service to get the foreign script. I did with perfect results.

morocain  says:

My apologies. I was meaning to say transliteration, not transcription.

okay, tamara - first of all, how can you believe in arabic?

neveen, you're just retarded. arabic does not belong to you. it doesn't belong to anybody. i am not arab yet i can still learn the language. get over it.

everybody else, stop asking for translation.

to those who don't think people should get tattoos in arabic: why does it bother you so much? people get these tattoos for aesthetic reasons, some people get tattoos for more meaningful reasons, but a tattoo is usually aesthetically pleasing while having meaning. tattoos in just plain english can be boring, so people like to get tattoos in a different language.

tattoo no.1 is not Arabic. not even related to Arabic sorry.tattoo no.2 has two word and literally reads "relatives, brother". so i assume he loves his brother but its kind of stupid to have it said like that. tattoo no.3 is "flower" and IS correct and i think its cool too.tattoo no.4 is in Hebrew. and i don't even speak Hebrew! but trust me IT IS HEBREW!tattoo no.5 can be translated into "Holy warrior" which means Mojahid and comes from the word "Jihad". but like all Arabic words, it has many meanings. like 1 of the comments said, that he is having a self struggle thing to overcome temptations and all .. tattoo no.6 is " i will always love my mother". which in my opinion is very ugly. not that I'm against love but the design of this ink is hideous.tattoo no.7 is read "hayam" which means love. but not just love. its the very highest of the high forms of love. its like saying "madly in love" but with only one word. my God! the English language so limited.tattoo no.8 is "alsalam" which means "peace". boring.tattoo no.9 who ever did it is a complete ASS!! the words are missed up.let me put it this way. the girl wanted these three word:resistingbravesarahbut instead, the poor thing got the following:gnitsiserpraveehrasa

hey, i want to get the phrase 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner'.

it's a quote from Jesus, but i don't want just a copy paste from the arabic bible.. i'd like to get some people's personal translations if possible!

in the arabic bible it says something like " ??????????? ???????? ? ????? ??????????? "

but i'm unsure if the exact translation is actually giving the essence of what i want to say.

anyways, id really love some feedback from native speakers... christians and muslims alike, b/c i know both religions will probably interpret this differently.

my email is little beattie @ hotmail . com (without spaces, i put them in to make sure i dont get any computer spam bors)

I'm a tattoo artist in New York, I always suggest to people to do the research before you come to me. When it comes to other languages please understand it before you get the tattoo. I will not do a tattoo in another language unless I understand it. The pain of the tattoo is nothing compared to the embarrassment that comes with getting it and it being WRONG!

Just wanted to point out that as a Bengali person, I can assure you the first tattoo is NOT Arabic but Bengali. Worse yet, it is misspelled Bengali. Looks like an attempt to write "shundori" which means beautiful girl. The first character --which should be the english equivalent of "sh"--is wrong. Looks like the tattoo artist just drew a butt.

I am sorry to anyone who is offended by non-native speakers putting arabic words on their bodies. I am looking at getting a tattoo of the word love, as many people seem to say. I have been studying Islam for awhile now and though have not converted to it, believe in the cultural and religious understanding of many religions and I believe Islam to be one of the most misconstrued, misinterpreted ones present in American culture. Though I in no way understand what it feels like to be stereotyped, or condemned for wearing the hijab I believe in the understanding of our uniquenes. Anyways could someone tell me how to translate the word Love as a verb? Someone said it is just 2 symbols?

The issue of HARAM, you now that in fact the art of tatoo is considered by Quran to be HARAM or NOT DONE. Like mentioned on this blog. I with a muslim background always "wanted" a tatoo, but due to wat Quran or the holy book says i did not do it.Yesterday by coincidence i purchased a book on Arabic tatoo art, and started surfing the internet. And was really astonished how many sites and blogs where dedicted on this matter!!

So for al you youngsters out ther if u do get a Arabic tattoo where it with pride and dignity, and do not bother with somebody else hit opinion;

And i believe that the true almighty will forgive al these people with a Arabic tatoo.

ALHUMDULILAH that most of those people who got tated, their tats didn't work out, because they look stupid and to have allahs language written on your body is ridiculous, thank allah for the mess ups!!

they have to live with it now... no god allows their slave to tat themselves, but its rebellious/ignorant people like these that want to get tated and so things never work out. allah YEHDEKOON!!

perhaps you native arabic speakers can tone down your attitude a bit. i am not from a middle eastern country, but i taught myself basic egyptian arabic for a trip i took to egypt. and no, i did NOT stay in a 5 star hotel either! i stayed with native egyptian families and was immersed in the culture thoroughly. i did not take one ride on a tour bus and i did not even do the cruise down the nile. i considered a felucca, but that will wait for another trip. i find arabic to be a beautiful language and i love the way it looks--i have done most of my overseas travel alone with a backpack and that takes some balls. but instead of getting the word 'balls' tattooed on myself in the various languages of the countries i've been in--i thought it would be nice to have the word for 'strength' tattooed in arabic, gaelic, quechua, czech, etc. you get my point. what's the harm in that? why would that be so damned offensive to you or anyone? furthermore, how DARE you reply to these posts using MY language: english? you are not from here, you do not have american blood even, i bet. how DARE you? see how ridiculous you sound? fuck off with your high and mighty attitude. you suck.

Hebrew is read from right to left, not as English. It would look bad if written up and down and then one would not be able to know where to start to read.

wow - there is an incredible amount of people asking for translations...I have a tattoo in French, a tattoo in english and one in arabic, because I can speak each and love the languages dearly. Arabic is an incredible language, and seriously - you should not be getting anything inked on your body when you don't speak the language and can't translate it yourself. I'm struggling to understand what meaning an arabic tattoo could possibly have for someone that doesn't speak nor understand the language, please help me to understand someone?

And also, along with all the rest of the people commenting about it, seriously, some of these tatts are disgraceful...loving the last one especially - poor girl. I mean starting with a tar mabouta and the final unconnected version of the h? Wow!

Please make sure you research your tattoos before getting one done - it's an incredibly long, painful and costly process to get them fixed, that's for sure!

- The fourth tattoo which is translated “Forgiveness”: That’s Hebrew not Arabic.

- The last tattoo translated "Serenity, strength, courage": This person has really been screwed. I assume that the person who did the tattoo is using a computer to translate his words into Arabic, but his computer is not set up to handle Arabic alphabets, so the result is scrambled alphabets. The tattoo should look like this: ????? ?????? ??????

Ya Allah, I beg you all please do not get a tattoo in a language you cannot read in the first place. it is an insult to their culture for starters, and if you dont understand it then why the hell would you want it on your body forever. i am covered in tattoos and i can read and speak arabic and i dont have it tattooed on me. Cutla Allah and may many people laugh at you for your stupidity.

Ok...this site is a bit of an eye opener!

I used to want a tattoo in Arabic but after looking into it i decided against it, reason being as beautiful a script it is, their religion and culture are against it, and due to respecting them i would not ish to go against it! Plus this web page seems to be very high school, too-ing ad fro-ing of insults! Surely e should respect people and not be abusive whether they are for or against such acts like Body Art, even if it is in other languages? In all honesty, a name does look pretty firckin boring in English text but we do have to be respectful and careful of how we go about it! Personally, i no longer wish to go ahead but does not mean i'm going to shove my opinion down someone elses throat and try and intimidate them because they can't speak that language!!!!

Nice collection of designs! I think the 'holly warrior' design is a good example for the use of Arabic diacritics (harakat). I should also say that the 'forgiveness' design is in Hebrew and should not be mistaken with Arabic.

Pretty cool collection though!

Well, when you don't use a professional service where the translation is done by a native Arabic speaker - the result will usually have mistakes.As a professional translator I can say that online translators are the worst. Most of the translations they provide are so horibble that you really need to wonder what the original phrase was...If you are looking for a great Arabic tattoo ebook or a translation and design - check: http://www.my-arabic-tattoo.com

Mehendi or Henna tattoos originated from the ancient Indian body art.

Henna tattoos are NOT ARABIC or Middle Eastern originally.

EYEBROW THREADING, though, and the whole practice of threading is PERSIAN in origin.

First and foremost....to anyone that really gets truly offended by the inaccuracy of these tattoos.....I am sorry that you are so turned off. I dont think its anybody's true intention to get anything so permanent wrong in the first place. If anything.....its a sign of great admiration for another's language or culture to attempt to get it as accurate as possible and wear it upon their bodies as art.

The bottom tattoo that is just 'an abomination' happens to be mine. While I openly admit that I didnt have a professional translate this for me, I am not going to apologize for the decision I made to get this as my tattoo.

For the people that are claiming that none of us have ever been to or experience culture in an arabic speaking country- think before you try to jump to conclusions. Just because I may not have translated you language correctly does not mean you know where I come from or why I got the tattoo. I may not have read or spoke the language, but I did live in the Middle East for majority of my childhood. Being in Saudi Arabia symbolized the happiest time of my life and I am really proud to say that I was able to live there.

sometimes when you miss a memory you try to capture and immortalize that experience the best you can. I did that with a tattoo resembling the script of the land I lived in and respected deeply. Yeah it may not be exactly right.....but its a memory that ties me to this, not the exact meaning or accuracy of it.

Like I said...sorry for those that are appalled. But just let it go. Be happy that it isnt you that wears the tattoo if it looks so bad. but give everyone on here the right to be proud of what they have chosen and stop scrutinizing it.

Farah,Amsterdam-Holland  says:

the last tattoo is just so wrong....the letters are all messed up it's not even a word.1 good advice...please let someone who knows write the word down or at least let them take a look at it so you don't have some weird word written on your body.

Arabic Tattoo  says:

Kai, I believe that it would be a lot easier for everyone if people used professional translations for their tattoos. I really cannot understand why someone will be so cheap and carry around a mistake instead of paying a couple of extra dollars and know he has the correct translation.

I think it's hilarious that so many of these complainers can't even use the English language correctly. "Spelt?" Give me a freakin' break, people!

Hannah  says:
5 months ago

These are terrible.

The first one isn't even arabic, the 'brother' one actually reads 'relatives; brother,' like a dictionary definition, the one labelled 'forgiveness' is hebrew script which i don't read but is probably wrong as well, judging by the standard of the article.

'Love' is NOT spelt like that in arabic- it looks as though it is back to front and also the wrong letter H has been used (there are two)

The worst one is without a doubt 'serenity, strength, courage,' where the letters are in the wrong order and not joined up! arabic script is cursive and almost all of the letters join up, with a few exceptions. It looks as though someone has just typed the words into google translate and got some fool to tattoo them onto their body. Imagine seeing a foreigner walking about London with 'ereniyts thgstren couraeg' tattooed on them. trust me, that's how stupid it looks. Dear God!

Let's just hope these people never ever travel to Egypt/ Morocco on holiday

Chelly - if you'd like a bible passage in Arabic got to www.biblegateway.com and do a search for the passage selecting an Arbic bible as teh on you want to search in the drop down menu. Also - I have a dgree in Arabic, I ahve lived in an Arabic speaking country adn whilst I woudl never claim to be an expert on Arabic cultures do have a connection to Arabic through my experiences and friends, taht is why I would consider having a tattoo in Arabic because it would mean something to me. But I also appreciate for others it looks beautiful, so fair play. I would however be incredibly upset if I was stuck for life with an incorrect tattoo so would pick my artist well!
