Always be careful when having foreign languages tattooed to your body.

MoniGram said:

I like it! What it say?



I been making my name in Arabic since 1999. Plus I asked my friend in Saudi Arabia and he said, "how did you know how to make your name?" And I asked my friends boyfriend at work and he said that was right too and is waiting to see my tattoo also.


My right shoulder. Now if only I can have that boys foot in your avvy on my.....nevermind

thank you guys

MoniGram said:

that bad boy took a little over 3 hours.....at the 2.5 hour mark, my arm was numb and I wanted to kill the artist.....

reneGade20 said:

OUCH! That is never good! But at least it came out looking great!

paisleypark4 said:

Cool, sounds like you've taken all the necessary precautions. So why arabic? Because it looks pretty? Or maybe you have a connection to Arabia since you have friends there?

MoniGram said:

thank you.... the panther on my back took a shade over 4 hours.....

that was masochistically pleasant.....

reneGade20 said:

The writing is so so unique and beautiful. Even wirting it from right to left is art in itself.

mdiver said:

Cool man i just thought it was totally thoughtless. Glad you are happy with your ink bro. Personally i make sure my translations are done privately and then the artist puts them on.....

reneGade20 said:

oh i like that to..
what does it say?

mdiver said:

I know..i drew those myself, he just copied my ink

weepingwall said:

The symbol "Ronin" (also known as lordless samurai) harkens back to the stories of the 47 Ronin, warriors who lost their master through the treachery of an other...and spend the rest of their lives fighting for their own redemption and to restore honor to their master.....I inked this because it is a metaphor (though not as serious) for my life....

this is what it looks like up close.....


...and here is a link to the historical background...
http://en.wikipedia.org/w...even_Ronin

The Dragon is a symbol of graceful power to me.....and its positioned in such a way that if you were to see me without a shirt, it would look like it was attacking and fighting with my panther....its my personal I had the artist elongate the tail a little bit it would wrap around Ronin and cover up a little star that I shouldn't have gotten to begin with....
