Can someone translate this into Hebrew for me?

Q. I'm looking to get another tattoo soon and would like the quote "For you, a thousand times over" from my favorite novel "The Kite Runner."

I would like it in Rashi scipt please, in other words the actual calligraphy. If vowel dots could be added, that would be fantastic. I've searched other translation sources and I'm just looking to get another comparison to get the most accurate translation.

A. The most accurate translation would be from the actual copy, as "officially" translated by Zila Elazar. This would surely be in the right context. This was "בשבילך, אלף פעם ויותר".

Rashi script is basically just a different font, although most modern Hebrew speakers would not be able to read it. Similarly, it is not a standard font on Hebrew computers. Yahoo! answers doesn't even support different fonts, so I suggest you download the font somehow, copy the Hebrew text and simply change the font to Rashi.

As for vowel dots, I am sorry, but I haven't read the book - is "for you" addressed to a woman or to a man? The spelling is the same for both cases, but the pronunciation is different.

The second part is אֶלֶף פַּעַם וְיוֹתֵר and you can keep בשבילך un-dotted, to keep the ambiguity.


Any good priced tattoo shops in the east bay ?
Q. Hi I am looking for a good , clean place to go to get some ink done I been looking around a lil so for prices around 80-100 . Is there any other places that you may know of but for a better starting price ? I want to get some words on my ribs . But I want to find an artist who can do any font size , the last three ppl I asked said they cant do words only in large size .. That to me is BS ...So if you know of anyone or any shops in the east bay area ca that do an awesome job on whatever you ask for and great starting price please let me know .Thank you for you help too :)

A. The reality of it is not bs. Lettering should be a certain size so it can be legible and stand the test of time. Anything smaller won't look good after a couple of years. The fact that it's on the ribs creates another difficulty factor resulting in putting a bigger font size there. The ribs suck, they hurt like a bastard and they are difficult to tattoo their. Their is a popular trend right now of people (usually women) getting their first tattoo of a quote on the ribs in the smallest font possible. Those three elements raise the bar for difficulty. There literally is no room for error. People don't sit well for rib tattoos, they squirm and not to mention they breathe making your steady hand not so steady. My advice is to go with a bigger font, it will look better 10 years from now rather than a tiny font that will look like bs in a couple.
