I am looking for a Arabic Tattoo to honor my mother and father?

Q. I am of Moroccan decent, so i would like to get a tattoo that is in arabic. I was first thinking of getting mother and father in arabic, plain and simple. However, i want it to have more meaning, maybe a phrase or quotation from the Quran . Or a symbol, i have checked online, but i always get different regions than my own. Can anyone help me please?

A. In Modern Moroccan culture, tattoos have a really bad connotation. It wasn't always like this, a lot of elderly women still have tattoos on their faces, hands and feet. I can't explain why this change occurred, but if i know my parents wouldn't even hear of it for example :)

Now, stay away from Quran verses, god's names, the prophet's sayings and the like. It's considered a blaspheme. You'll have Muslims of all nationalities coming to you asking why you did it, saying it's haram and feeling offended... i think it's not a desirable reaction to a tattoo, so please be careful, and avoid anything religious unless you want it to have this kind of reactions :)

I would advice you to pick a verse of classical Arabic poetry. It's not specific to Morocco but it's chic. If you want something really Moroccan, look for a song lyrics, and if your parents are Amazighs, maybe a berber poetry in Tifinagh script. I don't want to suggest something, because to honor your parents, this is something you most do by yourself. This alone will give it a deep meaning, along with you love and respect for them :)


What are some good love quotes preferably in a different language?
Q. I wanna get a tattoo on the back of my neck that says something about love or being beautiful. just something classy and pretty. I would like it to be in another language like french or something. also since its going on the back of my neck it needs to be small. Thanks for your help!

A. 99% of all sayings wont fit there for size reasons. Pick another location. You need to pick an area that is flat and doesn't move or the lettering will distort. The usual location for classy or romantic says for a woman is the chest.

And you have to pick the words or they wont be meaningful, which is the basic reason for any tattoo. All tattoos are about you being true to yourself.
