Ideas for beautiful phrases in foreign languages ​​with translation

Beautiful phrases for tattoos look different depending on the place of application, style and language. You can place the inscription on the body almost anywhere. The main thing is that it is a flat surface without bends. The more characters in a phrase or the larger the font, the more space there should be.

Tattoos fit harmoniously on:

• head behind the ear;
• neck;
• shoulder;
• thigh;
• foot or ankle;
• wrist;
• chest or under it;
• ribs;
• upper back.

The most common fonts are:

Preference is given to the language that is either understood, or the phrase sounds more beautiful, or looks more attractive.

Latin

Latin is an international scientific language. It was the language that most ancient thinkers spoke: Aristotle, Gaius Julius Caesar, Leonardo da Vinci, Newton, Cicero and many others.

The sayings of the sages of antiquity remained relevant at all times. It is not without reason that famous writers used phrases in Latin as epigraphs to their works. The art of tattooing is no exception.

The phrases of the smartest people of their time became a real decoration on the body:

• Vivamus ut Recordatus - “Live so that you remember.”
• Proximi mei, meum fundamentum - “My family is my everything.”
• Quia pretium, bene poterit - “Know the price, know how to appreciate.”
• A NULLO diligitur, qui neminem diligit - “No one loves someone who doesn’t love anyone.”
• Est FORMIDULOSUS non cadunt, non oriri FORMIDULOSUS - “It’s scary not to fall, it’s scary not to rise.”
• Numera bona tua – “Remember all the good things.”
• Qui bene intelligit aliquis vestrum - “Appreciate the one who appreciates you.”
• Amo - vivo! - “I love - I live!”
• Amor caecus – “Love is blind.”
• Lux in tenebris – “Light in the darkness.”

Since no one speaks this ancient language for a long time, only a few will be able to understand the meaning of the quote. Therefore, you can put your most secret thoughts into the inscription.

Arab

Arabic script is a separate area of ​​decorative art. Original calligraphy is used to create written designs and patterns.

Phrases for tattoos will look not only beautiful, but also competent, if you take into account the peculiarities of the language:

• Words, like punctuation marks, are written from right to left, and numbers - from left to right.
• Capital letters are missing.
• The style of letters differs depending on the part of the word: at the beginning, middle or end.
• There is no neuter gender, only masculine and feminine.
• Words are not transferred to another line, but are stretched when writing or added by turning them upward.

Due to the peculiarities of spelling, Arabic is considered difficult to translate.

Thanks to the ornateness and uniqueness of the letter, the tattoo turns out to be very original:

• نفسك كن – “be yourself.”
• “Resentment is the lot of the weak.”
• جميل الداخل والخارج or جميل القلب والقالب , جميلة القلب والقالب - “beautiful internally and externally.”
• “Fate always gives a chance, but not everyone notices it.”
• أولئك الذين يعتقدون بشدة منا الذين هم أسوأ — الذين هم أفضل, لا تلاحظ ل نا في كل - “Those who are worse think about us badly; those who are better do not notice us at all.”
• “Life is hope.” He who has lost hope has lost his life.” (Plato)
• “A smart person thinks about what is necessary, a stupid person thinks about what is profitable.” (Confucius)
• “You are forever responsible for everyone you have tamed.” (Antoine de Saint-Exupery)
• “We must strive for the best, otherwise we will have to live with what is left.” (Bernard Show)
• يتواجد الحب تتواجد الحياة - “life exists only where there is love.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

Arabic is spoken in the countries of the East and Africa by followers of the Islamic religion.

Italian

The Italian language originated from colloquial Latin and was used by the common people. Therefore, it is simple and easy to understand by ear. Most of the words end in a vowel and consist of open syllables, which makes them unusually melodic.
