It is very popular these days to get tattoos written in a language that is not your native tongue. Be very careful in these situations that the words you are getting translate correctly into the meaning you chose. Start out with an online translator like babelfish.altavista.com. Once the site produces the translation, double check it's validity with a reputable source. A family member who speaks the language, a regional chat room, or a professor who teaches the language in question are all possibilities. To be safe, make sure that at least two separate sources confirm the accuracy of the translation before going ahead and getting it tattooed. I have a Polish quote that wraps around my upper arm, and one time I was at the Wendy's drive-thru and the cashier was a Polish girl who noticed my tattoo and leaned in closer to read it. I was terrified as she read it aloud, wondering, "Oh my God, what if it's wrong? What if it doesn't mean what I wanted it to mean?!" Luckily, my translation was correct, and she understood it's meaning. But imagine how embarrassing it would be if you got a tattoo and then years later a stranger is the one to inform you that the meaning marked permanently into your skin actually makes no sense at all.

Hahaha, that's awesome. I have a quote written in Polish on my upper arm, and as it is clearly visible I constantly get asked what it means. I always tell the truth, but after six years I am getting tired of translating. I wish I had the guts to make up something fake and shocking. And then I would just deliver the line deadpan and pretend it's real :)
Awesome hub !
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :)
ADVICE?
I want to get a tattoo in French that says "To live and to love"....and at some point i will add a name on the end. Anyone speak French that can help to translate correctly/accurately? Thanks in advance!
Hey 57flavors: Well, according to http://babelfish.altavista.com, the translation is "pour vivre et aimer". But I would double check with a French-speaking native to be sure.
I was wondering what the font of the first photo is??
and also
i'm going to get a tattoo at the end of the month and
i was thinking somthign like
"For Those Who Have Stood By My Side...
You are The Story I Tell"
but i dunno
advice?
Hey Eric, the tattoo on the guy you mean? I'm honestly not sure, some type of fancy script, obviously. I'm sure if you looked it up on a font site you'd find it or at least something close. Also, when you go into the tattoo parlor, there is a book of lettering that all places have. You could always just pick something similar from there. As for your tattoo idea, I love it. I think anything with words is great. Where on your body were you thinking of putting it?
to live and to love is "vivre et adorer" in french
If I want something translated into LATIN... where do I go to find it? Does anyone know of a site that does this? I want a sentence, not just one word.
Thanks.
Hey Angie, I've got the perfect solution for you :) I just wrote a hub about Latin words and phrases tattoos! Here it is: http://hubpages.com/hub/Tattoo_Ideas_Latin_Words_P It includes several translation services and a list of popular phrases, etc. Glad I could help!
i think that first one says dont think twice duno though
Great Hub... Hoping anyone canelp I am getting a tattoo on my ribs... I have three children whom I am seperated from due to work a lot so i wanted some quote saying "not in sight but in mind/heart" something like that but cant seem to find what i am looking for... any ideas...
Wow think I would be scared to date the girl in the top picture. A lower back tattoo that says "She Devil". Not judging but a little scary for a prespective partner. Funny though! Great hub by the way gave it the thumbs up vote.
Jdaly -- that is a lovely idea. Let's see...here are the mother quotes that spring to mind off the top of my head. "Mother is God in the eyes of a child", "A mother holds her children's hands for a while, their hearts forever." Hmm, maybe try doing a Google search for 'mother quotes' or 'distance quotes'?
thanks will let you know what i come up with....
hey i alredy have a tattoo but have always wanted something written underneath but i dint know what. i was thinking somthing like free love or forever free.. something to do with peace love faith. if anyone has any ideas that would be great =)
i am dying to get an italian word or phrase on my wrist but i have little to no ideas in my mind as of now. any suggestions??
Hi Louisa, I definitely have some ideas for you :) I just wrote a Hub about Italian tattoos, it has pictures of other people's Italian phrase tattoos as well as a list of some nice Italian sayings and links to sites that have more of the same. Here it is if you're interested: http://hubpages.com/hub/Tattoo_Ideas_Italian_Words
Enjoy!
Already have some tattoos so this isn't too big a deal to me.
But i'm getting my first word tattoo and i don't know where to put it! it's kindof a happy but at the same time painful memory. so, i want to see it often (thusly it can't be on my back or anything) but i don't want it somewhere as obvious as on my wrist so i have to remember it all the freaking time!
It's only one word, but it is also in another language (really don't want to deal with people constantly asking what it means) so...what do i do!
Hey Jill, I know exactly what you mean. I have a polish quote that wraps around my upper arm and I am constantly getting asked to translate it, which I guess is to be expected. I don't mind the questions, but it's always awkward when I tell someone the translation and they stare at me blankly, not understanding the philosophy behind the words.
Anyway, I was going to suggest your wrists as a nice spot, plus you can put a watch or wristband over it if you wanted. Another spot could be your forearms or upper arms, or what about your hips? Or your lower stomach, near the bikini line? I have some there as well, and obviously it's easy to hide :) Let me know what you decide though, and good luck!
An intersting article and good photos. In India tattoo is very popular in tribal women. Now some women in cities are also going for this. I find the tattoo on the naval very sexy.
Love this site! The tattoo's are amazing.. I love the one that says Dream as if you'll live forever Live as if tou'll die today.. Have you any idea were i cud get that in hebrew? Cheers
Hi Amy Lou -- Thanks for the positive feedback. Try some of the links over at this page: http://hubpages.com/hub/Tattoo_Ideas_Hebrew_Words_
The postal service line is beautiful "i want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd" the song is beautiful, and i've always wanted lyrics. such as the postal service's "there is truth, and love is real", I was also considering "You can't kill heroes" (from the spill canvas song) because i find it inspiring, "The world is hers" (dashboard confessional), "Remember to Breathe" (dashboard confessional), or "Painful realization that all has gone wrong"(dashboard confessional).
i know, alot of dashboard, but i can't decide, each line is in a song that has represented a phase in my life in which i'll never forget. So any would be great, but i'm not sure which one to pick. ALSO, i don't know where i can get it, i'm a little nervous about the side of my ribs, any ideas? THANK YOU
Jaclyn -- I love, love, LOVE the "there is truth, and love is real" lyric. I think that would look AMAZING as a tattoo. For the record, the side of the body over the ribs is pretty painful from what I've been told. Any area where the skin is thin and there isn't a lot of muscle is probably gonna hurt. But you could fit those lyrics anywhere, luckily -- around your arm, wrist, back of your neck, even across the top of your back, like from shoulder to shoulder. Let me know if you end up getting it done :)
guys tattoo syas dont think twice x
Hey- I'm going to be turning 18 on November 6th and I'm really interested in getting a tattoo. I really like Lindsay Lohan's, I think the words look pretty and they mean something important. I'm looking to get it in the same spot as her too, but I'm not sure if I want that exact quotes, but i want it to something short and sweet just like La Vita Bella. Also... this will be my first tattoo, is it really as painful as some people make it out to be?
Thanks-
Taryn
OMG! i just found this site and it's amazing. oddly enough i dont know alot of people who have tattoos (minus my stepdad but his are shitty and that's why he doesnt want me to get one). but for the longest time i've wanted to get "anger stirs up lies" in greek on my wrist in greek and "the past cannot be cured" in latin on my other wrist (possibly) "an eye for an eye makes the world blind" but i suddenly realized a ran out of room, lol. i dont want a tattoo on my back cause i like to be able to see it and i want it to be visible but my wrist are possibly taken (i have yet to get ONE tattoo) any advice on my ideas and placement?
Hey CeeCee, thanks for your comment! I LOVE the "the past cannot be cured" idea, a lot. Check out these other hubs, they're about greek and latin tattoos :)
Heyyy i was thinking of tattooing my lower back with a phrase like "what doesnt kill me makes me stronger", "faith,hope,love" or "my imperfections complete me" or do you think it sounds better as " i am perfect with my imperfections"? And then below that script, i want my initials in fancy fancy script.
I was thinking of inking it either in ancient Greek, Latin or Hebrew. This is my first tattoo and im kind of nervous but ive decided that i want some thing that can always remind me that whatever happens, life is beautiful :) My friend has one with just a design, and she did it spontaneously. No doubt it looks great, but it doesnt have an inner meaning to her as she did it just for the sake of fashion.
I have been having low self esteem since i dont know when, so i want it to be like a inpiration for me. Do you know of any phrases that boosts self confidence? Thank you loads.
i want my tattoo to be perfect.
Hey Nicole, thanks for your comment. Okay, I definitely love your tattoo ideas. Personally, I like "I am perfect with my imperfections" a lot. It has a nice ring to it and expresses a sentiment that I wish more people could understand. I don't know if you believe in God or whatnot, but whoever created you did so with a plan in mind. Each curve and every line was specifically designed to make you who you are, and you are beautiful. I can say this without even ever seeing you because your mind is beautiful, it comes across in your thoughts and your ideas about what you want marked on your body for life.
As for Greek, Latin and Hebrew, I wrote a couple hubs about those types of tattoos as well. They all have a section of quotes translated into English also.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Tattoo_Ideas_Latin_Words_P
http://hubpages.com/hub/Tattoo_Ideas_Greek_Words_P
http://hubpages.com/hub/Tattoo_Ideas_Hebrew_Words_
For quotes about confidence and self esteem, God, I can think of tons. Some of my favorites are "Being different was my cross to bear, but being aware of it was my compensation" ... "It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not" ... "People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within." (Elisabeth Kübler-Ross)
Actually, this site here is full of good ones: http://www.quotegarden.com/confidence.html
Good luck, and let me know what you decide!
Heyy its me again! :D and yeeaaah i checked out those hubs before you reccomended them already :D hehe, but oh. i was talking to my friend about the tattoo and she told me she thinks the phrase "i am perfect with my imperfections" sounded abit 'teenager-ish'. What do you think :S
My sister and I are wanting to get a tattoo with a quote. I need ideas if anyone can give us some. Something about the past or family. Any Ideas?
hey this site is amazing and cool i think its great that theres so many ppl that express them selves through tats i have one on my back it means alot to me because of what ive been through and it shows that no matter what happens u can always avoid things u dont want ny ways it says "the past can not be changed, but the future can be avoided" and its in a really nice fancy font.
Hey! Thanks for this article. I was tossing around the idea of getting a symbol for "happiness." This article completely agreed with my intuition. Why get a symbol when it the word is all you need. However, I would love to go with a quote. Do you have any advice on how to find synonyms or quotes for "happiness?" Thanks again.
im looking for a phrase to get tattooed down my rib cage symbolising not only family but everyone that has stood by me in the past few years something like " live for those i love" but not in those words any ideas
thankyou
i am getting a tatoo to honour a friend who passesed whose intials are sml. i also want to ring an element my own life into the tattoo and create a phrase around the initials. for example., strength, memories, love. any ideas about a phrase or words that fit nicely together?
So, my husband and i are thinking of getting matching tattoo's. a key and a lock. I'd get the key and he'd get the lock. I've been looking at reference photo's and have an idea of what i want. But everyone is telling me i'll regret it, not to do it. etc..the way i see it.. i'll only regret it if i allow myself to regret it. And even though later on i might think " it probably wasnt wise" i won't regret it..because it was a part of my life, and a part of me. And he's my husband. It's not like he's my boyfriend. To me..marriage is forever.. divorce isn't an option. We really want to do it..what do you think?
i was wondering if u knew the font that the girl with the "for those i love i will sacrifice" used for her tat??
thanks
I love all the tattoo's above! Thank you all of you for sharing them. I already have three tattoo's. I have egyption heiroglyphics (the little pictures) they mean seeing eternity in english... I have a japanese symbol for strength and a butterfly with the eye of horus in the wing which means protection against all evil... now i want to put in spanish next to the butterfly "she flies with her own wings"? Anyone have an opinion? I would love to hear it....
I got cherries on my shoulder when I was 16 & a rose vine around my naval when I was 18. Since then I have had a 10 lb baby boy who really did a number on my stomach & my tattoo! I don't want people to see my belly anymore but I am still proud of my "war marks" it reminds me of the pain I went through & who I am because of my son! I want to get a quote around my huge rose vine so when people see it they can't say "Ewwww... look at her!" Any suggestions???
im thinking about gettin another tattoo... this time i want "one day i will find me" but dont know where to get it... i alread have tattoos on my forearms and stuff so it cant be there obviously. i saw some on with it on the upper arm but the work reads from elbow to shoulder... i dont know if that will look right... any ideas on other places?

HEY, AWESOME PAGE. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD ANY IDEAS FOR MY TATTOO. I WANT TO GET A PHRASE THAT REMINDS ME TO STAY POSITIVE. I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING A SYMBOL BUT THE ONLY ONE I COULD THINK OF IS A PLUS SIGN. I NEED IDEA FOR PHRASES, THE ONLY IDEA I HAVE RIGHT NOW IS "GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH" BUT I WOULD LIKE OTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR POSITIVE THINKING.
i really want a tatto down my ribs in a foreign language, preferabley latin or italian. i want a phrase that means something powerful. would u be able to translate these for me please?

We are pretty close and i want it to stay that way. I kinda want to get a symbol meaning "brotherhood" and possibly their initials in a foreign language. Any ideas or advice would be great. Thanks
Hi, I'd like to get my first tattoo. I'm greek and my name Elena means "torch of light" so i'd like to get those words tattooed in greek. I've found a few different translations, but I'm not sure which is correct? Could someone who knows which is right let me know? epappas@student.umass.edu thanks!

Its an irish symbol, a triskell, and it basically is a sign of the holy trinity. if anyone has any suggestions of religious words or phrases I could put around this tattoo please heLP! i was thinking "Shepards we Shall be, for Thee, my LORD, for Thee" (from Boondock Saints) but i'm not sure i want so many words near it. Let me know what you think!
These are absolutely stunning. Good job :)

Hi, I have one quick question. I have been working on my first tattoo for quite a while, finally as of yesterday it was done (yay). But sadly i took it into the apparent 'best place' to get a price check and to book it in, and i was told it was impossible to do as the writing on it was 'to small' i understand that the ink spreads under the skin but this is the first I have heard of such a thing. I was wondinger if anyone had a guide for future reference as to the minimum font size is?

I have a tattoo in arabic which goes across my back at the bottom of my waist (read right to left) which says - I Libe and Die for those I love. If anyone wants it I know the translation is correct and it looks awesome?

Does anyone know what font that 4th picture from the top is? The one that says For those I love I will sacrifice.

i am a really funny bloke, a comedian and everyone that thinks of me would think that bloke is hilarious not being up myself or anything its just who i am,

getting Bite Me tattooed on my ball sack,
?
I am a recovering addict and i want something powerful, ive thought of many things just nothing i really love, it will be my fourth tattoo and i have given this one the most thought, any ideas??????
Hey So quick question, Im looking into getting a tattoo on my hip and i really want to get a word or a phrase- something in spanish most likely, but is that a weird spot to get something in writting?
What does the first tattoo say?
I have a tattoo in italian on my back that people are always asking me "what does that mean?" in all honesty it really means "only god can judge me" but 9 times out of 10 I just tell people that they dont need to know, or that its personal. If you cant read or understand someones tattoo (that you dont know) dont go up and ask them most of the time it comes off rude!
Well it would say i fear no fate - which i think in spanish is no temo destino. But i have a friend in spain and obviously i would check with her before i ever got something but i just didnt know if that was weird to have a tattoo on your hip with words instead of a picture?
i am looking to get 2 sentences (not one letter words) on my inside bicep. one on each.
im looking for something that really means something.
does anyone have any good ideas
=]

i'm so passionately in love with music, and i'm quite spirutal as well, i love staying positive. love, trust, hope and honesty are so important to me that i want my tattoo to somehow, have to do with if not all, then most of these. any ideas? i've read ur hubs and you said that you've read a lot and have many favorite quotes. any that could possibly fit my needs?
I had a awesome arabic tattoo scrolled from top to the middle of my back- What doesnt kill me makes me stronger...

Hi, i stumbles across this site and have a question of advice myself.
Im wanting to get a text tattoo that speaks my feelsings of my life,
I have been married 25 years, to my one and only, been with him since i was only 15 years old, always trusted he was a good man who would never hurt me or let me down, just recentley finding out he has not been faithfull has hurt to such a degree that i have lost all my faith and hope, and trust in ever trusting any human ever again. I now live my life for myself only and have found my strength in myself, I trust only me, and rely on only me, my heart is only my own. I have decided to stay with my husband and move past whats happend, but he has forever lost my love and trust, and thats something that not him nor anyone else will ever get from me again.
anyone have any quotes that i can make my own, to personalize who i am and how i feel, ?? that i can tattoo onto me to give me my own inspiration?
any advice, =)
thanks all

hey i have decided to get a tattoo on my foot the outer side and i think i want a flower. i also want writing but i dont know if they would go together. i really like the font that is on the side of the person and says for "those i love i will sacrifice." Do you have any ideas for flowers and sayings?
Great page and some amazing ideas on here! The photos are lovely too. I have been planning to get a tattoo for a while now and have been stuck between 'She flies with her own wings', 'I am my own', 'Until the end of everything' and 'Not all who wander are lost'. The last 2 have huge significance to me and I will probably fit all of them onto my body at some point,, for now I just want one and am stuck on which one to choose!
i have to agree with previous people who say they are sick of getting asked what their tattoo means. i'm 16 and have 'je t'aime' on my wrist, its frustrating when people continually ask what it means and if i regret getting it. they don't know the story behind it so don't open your mouths!
hey everyone, i've been thinking a lot of getting a tattoo soon and i have a russian heritage, so i want to get a word or phrase in russian somewhere on me. i am thinking about the wrist..
does anyone have any good ideas for a quote or anything, or better yet, a site with more info on russian?
Does anyone know where i can get these sayings translated into Gaelic for a Tattoo???
Also where would be the best place to get them?
Life is what we make it, always has been, always will be All I am, and all I hope to be
Hey there!
If there is someone who would like to share his/her collection of quotes with me, please send it to: pixiedust@live.at
I'm looking for a quote for my foot and eventually my back......
I'm looking to get a tattoo on my back of a cherry blossom branch and the kanji symbol for mother with my son's name, but i would like to add a quote. The one i found which I liked the best is, "If I know what love is, it is because of you." I've asked a few people and they thought it was either a) too long, or b) sounds kinda funny on a tattoo for my son. I was kinda looking for other insight...any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
Love life to the max in this world

Hi, iv got the word Faithful tattooed on the inside of my upper arm,(it reads down e.g from my shoulder to my elbow) but not that big lol, the tattoo is quite new and i still like it but i think it is a bit lost one word on its own, any ideas of what i could add on to it ? Thanks x
I also Have quite a large string of stars going from just below my hip bone up to my bra strap, (up my right side), all different sizes and designs e.g shaded, opaque, hollow smalland big, i would like a shortish phase on my left hand side, i like things about dreams e.g "follow you dreams they will come true" "wake your dreams" or yano other phases with meaning but im thinking i should link to stars but how?? any ideas
im getting my first tattoo in march (yeahh far from now) but i want to start thinking of ideas so i know exactly what i want and that im sure i want it. i want it somewhere i can hide easily concidering my dad isnt to fond of the idea, yet somewhere noticable(yeah not a good combination ha) but i was thnking "brittany alexus" along thge side of my foot or a family quote somewhere. any imput on quotes or places to get it?
brittany, u could get an ambigram tattoo, that is one of those ones where it reads something one way then when turned up side down it reads something different, i seen a nice one that says family, then wen turned upside down it says forever lol, but a bit bold and big for a foot i suppose

And when I am for myself, what am 'I'?
And if not now, when?"

Great hub. Hi from Australia! I had the chinese characters for honour and truth tattooed on my inner arm before joining the Navy (have heaps of other shit too). I took the artists word for the translation, but, if anyone asks me what the tat means, I answer "sweet & sour pork"...just makes it quicker to order takeaway on a Friday night...
Cheers.
