Latin is considered an ancient language, but this does not prevent it from having the charm that is inherent in many other languages. Only a few people speak Latin today, so it has a charm and mystery that can serve as a thread connecting a person to his tattoo. You can trace the origins of some famous phrases, inscriptions and philosophical quotes. Many celebrities have “immortalized” thoughts in Latin in the form of inscriptions on their bodies. Here is a list of ideas that may be useful to you if you are planning to make yourself 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 either general statements or have a special case. Among the famous phrases in Latin are the following: “castigat ridendo mores”; (Jokingly punish the funny), “aut viam inveniam aut faciam” (Either find the road, or make 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, as opposed to phrases, are usually better known. Many were uttered by famous scientists or expressed by famous thinkers. It would be quite acceptable to say that the most famous philosophical saying was Descartes’s statement: “cogito ergo sum” (I think, therefore I exist), which addresses the question of the existence of humanity 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 famous quotes and phrases are translated into Latin. For example, Martin Luther King Jr.'s immortal saying, “I have a dream,” was translated into Latin as: “Habeo Somnium.” But the famous exclamation from the film “A Christmas Carol” “Idiot traditions!” ( Usually about Christmas. Explained in BBC video tutorials.) “Bah! Humbug" was translated as: "Phy! Fabulae", and "Catch me with a beam, Scotty" ( from the television series "Star Trek") as in: “me transmitte sursum caledoni”

Translation of tattoo into Latin

o The Internet is a huge space where you can get translation almost any statement or inscriptions from Russian to another language of your choice. Latin is no exception here. 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 into a search engine and look for matches in Latin; it is better, of course, to know some other language: the chances of finding what you need increase. For example, in English this phrase will look like this: “God is love”, which in Latin: “Deus est diligo”.

Translation of tattoos in professional fields

o People of a certain profession - military or doctors - also gravitate towards tattoos in the form of an inscription in Latin. For military-themed 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 usually use phrases like: "dei gratia" (by the grace of God), "bonadiagnosis, bona curatio" (Good diagnosis - good treatment), or "non sibi sed omnibus" ("not for yourself, but for others") .
