So there is a lyric from a Bigbang song, Wings, that I would very much like to have a tattoo of. I felt that it would be excellent to have it in Hangul along with the English translation (it would be going along the side of my forearm, and just the English wouldn't look right in size). Except... I have no idea how to actually figure out which part ( Read more... )

i'm thinking about getting a tattoo of one of my favorite middle english poems, but i'd really like to have it reproduced from a manuscript. according to what i can find, it's in MS. Harley 2253, folio 75b - it doesn't seem to be available anywhere online and i know very little about accessing any kind of manuscript so i'm wondering if anyone has ( Read more... )

Hey all. I've been reading this community for a while but only recently joined - I'm an undergrad linguistics major in Philadelphia, fluent in only English but interested in pretty much the whole gamut of languages and language science.

Now, this is quite a silly twist on some of the "tattoo" requests that are (too) commonly seen. I've been thinking about the time someone asked for a "meaningful" tattoo and got "Exit Only" inked onto her rear in Chinese ( Read more... )

My friend is looking for kanji for a tattoo, and came across a picture of some that he suspects says something similar to what he's looking for. Unfortunately, as it's a picture and not text, we have no idea how to look it up and check.
I've seen this community referenced a few times over on little_details a couple times, and I was hoping you guys could tell us ( Read more... )

If anyone here can translate latin, could you translate Psalm 23:4 for me? Particularly this: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with meYes, it's for a memorial tattoo (for my brother). He wanted to teach latin at a high school level, he was religious, and this bit is absolutely perfect ( Read more... )
