Hah, hah!! Yeah, there's like a yawning tiger, a couple of ghost people, a dying tree, a woman with a skull...

The same is true in Arabic. People get great Arabic calligraphy tattoos on basis that its beautiful, and it is... but they get tattoos written in reverse as the tattoo artist possibly ignores that Arabic is written from right to left.

So are getting these "wrong" left to right Arabic tattoos which is laughingly incorrect. And the problem is its permenant and very difficult to change later on.

So if you want an Arabic calligraphy as tattoo, go to someone who knows Arabic not to a general tattoo artist...

I had friends show me their "arabic" written tattoos a few times, but i never told them that it was backwards. They think what they got was legit.

One time i saw one written right to left, but her name was hara, and some reason the tattoo artist decided to add a large dot on top of the h sound and made it khara.. i just thought that was way too funny.

OT:

lol I'm assuming your friend was Greek as "chara" (χαρά in Greek letters) means joy while in Arabic it means sh*t

I also had a Greek friend whose name was "chara" and you can imagine how much we (my Lebanese friends and I) used to tease her because of her name . She was a good sport though and a very sweet girl

What do you think of his new tattoo which is creating all this dicussion. A big majority of players have tattoos, but this seems excessive to me.

C'est vrai qu'avoir un tatoo de son joueur préféré serait cool, mais c'est pas très fun pour moi car je déteste les tatoo.
