Tattoo to be and not to appear in Latin. Translation from Latin of phrases about family and parents with meaning for a tattoo into Russian and English for lettering about family values
Latin is considered an ancient language, but this does not prevent it from possessing the charm that is inherent in many other languages. Only a few today speak Latin, so there is charm and mystery in it, which can serve as a thread that connects a person with his tattoo. It is possible to trace the origin of some famous phrases, inscriptions and philosophical quotations. Many celebrities "immortalized" their thoughts in Latin in the form of inscriptions on their bodies. Here is a list of ideas that you might need if you are planning to make your own tattoo with inscription.
Latin phrases
o Latin phrases usually consist of several words and have a specific theme: for example, family, law, friendship. Latin phrases can be both general statements and have a special case. Among the well-known phrases in Latin are the following: "castigat ridendo mores"; (Joking to punish the funny), "aut viam inveniam aut faciam" (Either find a way, or pave it yourself) and "non omnis moriar"; (no, all of me will not die). See the most popular sayings below.
Philosophical sayings in Latin
o Philosophical thoughts in Latin, unlike phrases, are usually better known. Many have been spoken by famous scientists or expressed by famous thinkers. It is quite possible to say that the most famous philosophical saying was Descartes's saying: "cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am), which addresses the question of the existence of mankind and the question of being. Other well-known philosophical sayings in Latin include "errare humanum est" (to err is human), "facta non verba" (not in word but in deed) and "nosce te ipsum" (know thyself).
Modern Latin phrases
o Today, modern well-known quotes and phrases are translated into Latin. For example, the immortal saying of Martin Luther King, "I have a dream," was translated into Latin as: "Habeo Somnium." And here is the famous exclamation from the movie “A Christmas carol” “Idiotic traditions!” ( Usually about Christmas. Explained in BBC video tutorials.) “Bah! Humbug" was translated as: "Phy! Fabulae" and "Catch Me, Scotty" ( from the television series Star Trek) as: "me transmitte sursum caledoni"
Tattoo translation into Latin
o The Internet is a huge space where you can get translation virtually any statement or inscriptions from Russian to another language of your choice. Latin is no exception. Using free/paid translation services, you can get a phrase in Latin for your tattoo. For example, you liked the phrase: “God is love”, type the phrase in a search engine and look for matches in Latin, it’s better, of course, to know some other language: the chances of finding what you need increase. For example, in English this phrase would look like this: "God is love", which in Latin: "Deus est diligo".
Tattoo translation in professional fields
o People of a certain profession - military or medical - also gravitate towards tattoos in the form of an inscription in Latin. As military phrases, many use sayings like: "pro patria" (for the Motherland), "semper paratus" (always ready), and "haec protegimus" (under our protection) are all popular slogans. People associated with medicine commonly use phrases like: "dei gratia" (by the grace of God), "bonadiagnosis, bona curatio" (A good diagnosis is a good cure), or "non sibi sed omnibus" ("not to yourself, but to others") .

Latin is a language that has been able to maintain its original state until today. The language is officially adopted and used in the Vatican and among Catholics. And although it is not used anywhere in the colloquial genre, its popularity in the context of tattoos goes through the roof. To explain it is simple:
- Phrases, words, or quotes in Latin offer deep meaning to the tattoo wearer, and the language will help change lives, according to the "work" of the tattoo.
- A tattoo in Latin looks elegant and mysterious not only for the owner himself, but also for the surrounding gaze. In addition, few people can translate the words, which means that the tattoo will remain a big intrigue.
