Latin? Try using good old fashioned plain English instead of text speak.
you could think of what sort of thing you'd like to say, then see if there's an English equivalent. Timeo Danaos et dona ferentes... Beware of Greeks bearing gifts... Mens sana in corpore sano... Healthy mind in a healthy body... there are hundreds, maybe thousands.

If you feel the need to deface your precious skin, which you will almost certainly regret when you are older, click or cut and paste on here

Instrumentum aeri temperando


or Air Conditioner.

That's a good web site BriWrite, just the thing for Q&P and throw into the odd conversation!!

How about:


Nill illigitimi carborundum


Don't let the b@stards grind you down

Tempus Fugit


or depending on your personal morality


Vidi, Vici, Veni

If you are planning to destroy permanently the beauty of your skin, perhaps you should tattoo the words


Ego sum stultus

Well said felinechums.


Actually 'stultus sum' would be cheaper and more grammatical latin.

how about coitus reservatus??


Not sure if it's entirely correct Latin, but how about:


Erat versippilus, sed nunc sanooooo


or


I used to be a werewolf, but I'm all right nooowowowow

How about


Caesar adsum jam forte


Pompey adarat


Caesar sic in omnibus


Pompey sic inat

Whats the latin for:
"I'm going to regret this when i'm a pensioner'?
id go for magsi veshi tem its a ancient english spoken in sunderland

sorry i can't help with the Latin, however, i would like to show my support for your choice in getting a tattoo.


never mind 'defacing beautiful skin', it's your choice, and as long as you've thought it through long and hard, and are truly happy with what and where you want inked then go for it.


but don't get a tattoo, if at any time you think "i can get it removed if i don't like it", cos satisfactory removal isn't always possible.


good luck

latin tattoos are certainly the way forward, my boyfriend has "cave fvorem patientis" round his forearm, it means beware the fury of the patient man (very deep). There are a few good latin translation sites, dont have the links to hand but type "latin phases" into google!

Certe, toto, sentio nos in kansate non iam adesse



(You know, Toto, I don't think we're in Kanas anymore)

Should have said 'Kansas'
