So I'm gonna be getting a tattoo for my 21st birthday in a couple months, and I want it translated to aramaic. Anyone know of a good place to have this translated? Free or at least cheap. I want it to say "Peace resides in the rhythm of one".

This is what first popped up on Google. Or better yet, you could Google it yourself.

Bad idea. Although it could result in some pretty hilarious translations.

Aramaic is used in "The Passion of the Christ." From that, I recognized the language name in the OP. However, I really can't help you TC...

If you're referring to America then that explains the ignorance.

Abstract tattoo phrases in foreign languages are so overrated these days, is a "i love you mom" with a heart tattoo not good enough for ya?

I have a personal rule about getting tattoos using foreign lettering, and that's to only get them if you can read them. Try to google it around.

i wouldn't necessarily say they're overrated, just abused. in this case, i think it's more fitting since the phrase i'm getting is a reference to God. plus, people are naturally curious, and might be more inclined to ask about it if they don't know what it is. if people see it in english, they'll try to figure it out on their own. if they are more inclined to ask about it, they'll know exactly what i mean rather than guessing. just my theory. what i don't like is when people get something with no meaning behind it written in japanese or something. if it has a real meaning for you, that's all that matters.

Too right. OT: I have no idea. Maybe you could try a local university or a more well known university? Send an email to a professor or something like that?

My only concern would be presenting this completely unknown language to the artist with the possibility of no margin of error. Do you know if the slightest variation in a stroke or line could alter the message. It would be rather crappy to have "Pieces reside in the round of on", but I suppose you wouldn't really know anyways.

So I'm gonna be getting a tattoo for my 21st birthday in a couple months, and I want it translated to aramaic. Anyone know of a good place to have this translated? Free or at least cheap. I want it to say "Peace resides in the rhythm of one".

good point. it would seem as if the smallest stroke really would matter. and solid_mario i think i'll do that. i think i'll try talking with a professor about how well it can translate, and if the text is vulnerable to mistakes as far as getting the tattoo done.

I'd suggest going to an English-Aramaic forum. The only guarantee you can get though is probably someone you can trust and/or fight.
