Well, this might:
The tattoo says "Loved, Washed Sin", in Hebrew. I think it's Catholic code for "Slept around, went to confession, now forgiven!"
It's a shame he put nikkud (vowels) on some of the words, fixing them to a single meaning, otherwise it could also be read as "Love! Wash! Sin!" or "Loved, Washed, Sinned".
I suppose he wanted something along the lines of "Love Washes Away Sin", but it doesn't sound quite right to me in English, not to mention Hebrew, so I won't translate it for now.
If you believe you know what he meant, or have a nice sounding expression about love, sin and the act of washing, do tell!
Actually, it can also be read as a command to "Lowe, wash, sanitize", which is how I read it...
ReplyDeleteBut it's in the past form, so it is:
ReplyDeleteLoved, Washed, Sanitized

no no no, you got it all wrong.
ReplyDeletethese are instructions on how to deal with wounds like a man.
first, don't cry like a girl - love your wounds.
but then you'd better wash them.
and lastly - disinfect them!
the guy in the picture just wants us all to know that he loved, washed and then disinfected.
Yep, disinfecting your love wounds is always wise.
ReplyDeleteit also can be read as a mispelled "share"..
