    Hey gang, I hope to God someone here can help me, otherwise all hope is lost!:pac:

    Looking for someone who can translate english to Arabic and someone who can write out Arabic caligraphy. If one person can do both, that'd be great.

    I'm desperate here, been looking for a long time and I'll pay if necessary.
    It's a fairly long piece, 29 words of varying length going all the way down my right side from armpit to pelvis in short lines.

    Any help, is HUGELY appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Would be dubious about getting a lettering tattoo in a language I don't know or read...

    There is no arabic forum here on boards, maybe ask around? Maybe head to a mosque or something?

    No clue

    I've had a few things translated for tattoos from locals here at a coffee shop ( Iranian / Cyprus dude with irish wife) and a local hallal shop. look around your nieghborhood your more likely than not to find a small shop or restaraunt with arabic speaking people, good luck, Pluto

    Well, Arabic Caligraphy is really cool looking and as long as I had a correct translation that was checked I dont really see a problem.

    I considered a Mosque but apparently putting tattoo's on their body (or piercings or anything not given to you by God) is against a Muslims religion so most coming from a Mosque would be too devout to help.

    Would probably encounter the same problem.

    The more difficult the search becomes, the more I want this tattoo!

    yeah i have, but it being in a language that i dont know, i wouldnt trust some random dude and another random dude after him to check to see if the 1st did it right.

    Ok ok, fair enough we won't make you get an arabic tattoo...

    Anyone have any more ideas?

    Can you PM me what it is you want translated... my aunt is a Muslim and speaks Arabic but I'm not sure if she knows Arabic Calligraphy. I may be able to help you.

    Bumpity bump, Are there really no Arabic caligraphers who frequent the tattoo section of boards!? :P

    Hey I could ask an egyptian girl in my year to do it for you if you like? She's Muslim but doesn't have any objections to tattoos as far as I can tell! PM me if you still need it!


  • Registered Users Posts: 731 ✭✭✭BJC


    Last bump. Promise :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,183 ✭✭✭✭Will


    Stop bumping, ffs.

    if people wanted to add stuff to the thread they would, don't be so lazy and go and do some research yourself instead of sittin on your ass!
