Never ask an internet forum to translate a tattoo you want. They will always hop on the opportunity to mess with you. Instead, post a photo of the script you want and say "My friend just got this as a tattoo, they says it means [intended translation] but I bet them $10 it doesn't. What does it say?" You'll get the truth. Social engineering.

@@KeitieKalopsia Haha, thank you. I agree, this is really just joke advice, it's as likely to go wrong as anything else. I understand why people are hesitant to translate for themselves - I think the example in this video of someone getting the Hebrew words for "butter" and "fly" instead of "butterfly" is a good example of how easy that goes wrong. Native English speakers accidentally mess up homonyms in their English tattoos all the time, let alone traversing into entire other alphabets. Personally, I think if you're getting a permanent tattoo, it's probably worth contacting a trustworthy bilingual person, or even doing a crash course in how to read the language, so you can be more confident in reading it for yourself. It might take a couple months, but there are many free language-learning resources, and the tattoo will be on you forever.

My favourite tattoo in Chinese is "我不知道。我不说中文。" I saw it on a post and am assuming it was a joke tattoo as it translates to (after the question of "what does your tattoo say?") "I don't know. I don't speak Chinese." Schadenfreude is taking pleasure in other peoples' pain, and I think we all do it to some extent.

I think she assumed (probably jncorrectly) that the people online who told her it meant something else were all Fijians because of a false logic of "Why would you even say something if you weren't?" ...completely forgetting that people don't have to know a language to be absolute trolls online...and just because you said the question was for Fijians..thatvonly they would respond. I just...like, girl, why would you ask tikntok...just because you specify who the question is for...doesn't mean the people answering you are the demographic you thought would answer. Unless, she went to the account of everyone who answered and checked their background & ethnicity...why even trust they even knew what they were talking about and not just random trolls screwing with you. It only takes one person in the comments to say it means something pretty, when they have no clue (usually if they have google translated it themselves, ot because they know the real meaning because it is their language) and the rest of the trolls follow suit...even if they have no clue. That said, I have heard of some people deliberately giving a wrong translation when they do know the language because they don't like foreiners getting tattoos of their language when they don't speak it (but those have usually been Chinese).

It is just people online saying it or people who think tattooed people are dangerous. This creator just keeps the misconception going. "Tattoos are for criminals." It is a common American traditional tattoo. Any tattooer will tell you it is difficult to get ink into the elbow. The skin is wrinkly and dry. This was very true with tattooer made needles. The spider web design is good because ink does not need to be placed in the highly mobile elbow. No ink fallout. Solid design that I see on many people.

Whether or not the meaning is shifting, there is a good chance people are going to assume you’re a proud racist if you get one of these tattoos. This is a situation where accepting social consequences (possibly even alienating family or friends) is a requirement for forcing change, and even then it’s unlikely the meaning will ever fully disappear.

My main experience was someone showing off a plan for a Hebrew tattoo that meant something like “daughter of god”, and said she checked with her priest. I happen to be fluent in Hebrew and immediately asked if she already got it. She said yeah, why? They missed a letter that was pretty important, so instead of “daughter of THE king” (aka referring to god), it said “daughter of A king” and therefor just meant “princess”. Not the biggest mistake, all things considered, but very much not what she wanted.

so I have a tattoo in Greek. I'm French and while I did study Greek for six years, it was ancient Greek specifically, so I don't speak modern Greek at all. Here is how I made sure that what I was getting was the correct translation. Firstly, the reason I got it is as a tribute to my late grandmother. She was an extremely smart, brilliant woman who got a master in STEM in the 1960s, was a political activist for a far-left party in France, she trained to be a specialised nurse, she was an excellent botanist and in her *spare time* (cause everything else wasn't enough, right) she taught herself ancient Greek. Like to the point she could speak it. This was my very first tattoo so I was double-careful about what I was putting on my body. I knew I wanted a sentence in Greek to honour one of her passions (as well as something that connected us since I studied it in school and as a kid she gifted me so many books of tales from ancient Greece to the point I knew the entire pantheon and mythology by age 10) and I settled on a quote from my favourite book. That book is by a French author, so I went online, I found a public domain version of the book's official Greek translation and got the pdf. Then I took my physical copy of the original French book, found the page of the quote and went back to the computer to get the Greek file to that same page. Using basic google translate, I just made sure it was indeed the right page (the translation wasn't perfect since it was 2016 but more than good enough to know I was on the right page). Then one by one I isolated the sentences in the Greek file, ported them to google translate until I found one that was nearly identical to the French sentence. After that, I double-checked to see if the book had gotten other Greek translations to see if the sentence was translated differently in other versions and couldn't find anything. Then just to be extra sure, I went to the Greek department in my university (which was easy because at the time I was an English-Chinese major studying to become an interpretor/translator so the Chinese department was one floor above the Greek department) and just knocked on the door, grabbed the first teacher in the office and showed her the Greek sentence, gave her the context that it was from a book (it's a famous book so she knew about it) and she confirmed the sentence was correct. That's how you make sure you're not about to act like a fool. Foreign language tattoos are not something to be spontaneous about. It took me an entire week of research to be triple sure I wasn't about to have a typo on my body, especially on a tribute tattoo. Don't be stupid. Do your research.

the “toilet demon” tattoo is probably not a silly mistranslation! japan has a very long tradition of urban legends, including multiple relating to haunted toilet stalls. the stories vary but generally there’s a particular stall in a school that students don’t use because it’s dirty, run down, etc. and when a student eventually uses it a ghost will pester and/or kill them in the stall. I can’t read any of the Japanese alphabets so I can’t tell you if it’s a literal translation or the actual myth’s name, though.

Something else to keep in mind is that even if it's technically translated correctly, certain words can be positive in one language but offensive in another. Be especially careful with animals, because they could be an insult or a description for certain body parts. To give you an example the Italian word "uccello" means bird, but it's also slang for a part of the male anatomy. Additionally similarly to English it's also used to describe flipping the bird to someone. Even if the translation to bird is absolutely correct, if you pair this word with other ones it could end up meaning something very different. Let's say you want to tattoo the words "big bird" because your a fan of sesame street and for whatever reason decide to do so in Italian. The correct translation is "grande uccello" but you would end up with a tattoo that has a double meaning and one of them is NSFW. (Sorry, I know it's a strange and unlikely example, but I can't think of a better one right now)

It's similar in Polish. "ptak" means bird but is also a slang word for a part of male anatomy too. Probably even more when you say "ptaszek" which can be used for smaller, cuter bird but can be even more sus

When I was 18 and in basic training for the Army, I became friends with a girl from China who spoke Mandarin. She taught me a lot about her language and even wrote out the word "Virgo" in Mandarin characters for me. I got it tattooed below the nape of my neck, not realizing at the time how getting itcould be seen as problematic years later. I was at the Jersey Shore and a man pointed at my back and yelled, "Virgo!"-so at least I know it says what it’s supposed to lol! Now that the tattoo is almost 19 years, it looks horrible and has aged really badly. I’m considering getting it either covered or lasered off.

My dad thought he got please, love, and happiness” tattooed on him in Chinese, but turns out it’s actually combo number five… nah, I’m kidding, he purposefully got combo number five tattooed on him to sort of make fun of people who don’t triple and quadruple check that their foreign language tattoos translate to what they want, also because it’s dumb. He had a Chinese speaking friend from work translate it for him, and it was later confirmed that it 100% said “combo number five” by the lovely Chinese lady who owned my parents favourite Chinese restaurant! (She got concerned and asked him if he knew what it said, he jokingly said the peace, love, and happiness line, she just let out a very disappointed “no”, to which my dad laughed and said he knew it said combo number five, which made her start to laugh - she even suggested he get the name of the restaurant added to the tattoo!)

I feel like 'carpe diem' is completely fine, not just because it's a common saying but because Latin is a 'dead language', meaning it isn't spoken anymore today. I’ve got a raven on my back as a memorial for my best friend and it’s carrying a chain with a medallion in it's talons with the Sanskrit phrase 'Tat tvam asi' written on it. There's different spellings as well as slightly different translations for it all over the internet, but the one above is how it was introduced to me by an important person in my life. Directly translated it means 'This is you' but the idea behind it has to do with relationship between the individual and the absolut or that every single being has all of existence contained in itself. Sanskrit is not actively used anymore outside of the spiritual/religious context (just like Latin) and tbh I would get it again in a heartbeat.

RSA is a type of encryption that is used by banks and such, so it uses math, which is what I went to university for. Since I have other nerd friends, I was also able to send the equations and such to other people to have that checked lol.

Ahh okay it’s my time to shine lol. I got a misspelled foreign language tattoo when I was quite young…which was extra devastating at the time because I was actively studying the language and tried so hard to make sure it was correct, and it was really meaningful to me. The worst part is, the spelling mistake is so extremely small, literally a tiny “-“ off one character that shouldn’t be there. I noticed the next day. The English translation of the tattoo is “I want to stay young forever,” but grammatically the literal translation would be something like “I want to stay a girl (a child) forever.” The tiny extra little dash makes it mean, “I want to stay a boy forever.” I’ve grown to love it by now and even have a second matching one in the same language that is even more meaningful to me. But man, do I still feel embarrassed about it sometimes 😅
