Love for the Arabic language is nothing new for the people around the world and there are different ways of showing it. Some do it by learning the language itself or some are just fascinated with the beautiful calligraphy and want to give it a shape. The latter group does so with the Arabic tattoos. Though some believers of Islam are of the view that tattooing is against the ethos of their religion, even Arabs can be seen wearing the Arabic tattoos. These tattoos mostly consist of the name of the person or their dear one like son, daughter, wife, husband or partner.

Apart from this, spiritual or serene words or a line are also popular as tattoo designs. As said above some are just fascinated with the look of the script. Therefore, for them words or meanings do not matter. They just get the Arabic alphabets carved on their body parts. The Arabic script is really elegant and artistic. The cursive letters are full of beautiful twists and turns, thereby, creating a mesmerizing display. If you are also an Arabic enthusiast and looking forward to a tattoo design, do check out this post. It will give you a very good insight into the world of Arabic tattoos.

    • Is it an Arabic name? If it is, then it means “virgin” it is used as a name and is spelled :عذراء
      If it isn’t and it just accidentally sounds like an Arabic name, here’s Azra: ازرا

  1. Great tattoos!

    However, if the “Karl” tattoo wishes to say K A R L i.e. transliterated, then unfortunately for him, it does not. Also, the L is not correctly attached to the rest of the word.

    Good luck Karl.

  2. can you translate my name ” helina erika” in arabic and also ” Allah is always in my breath” , can you send me email… thanks

    • your name is
      هيلينا إريكا
      the sentence is
      الله دائما في انفاسي

      • fly
        this translation is not exact because the meaning of the word my change depend on the sentence used with it.
        I fly
        this translation is in slang language. the exact formal translation
        أنا أطير
        however the meaning in arabic sound a little bit lame.

  3. I’m arabic and i have to say most of these tattoos are missed up , either the meaning is wrong , wrong spelling , words written backwards or the font is super ugly.

    guys anyone wants do do an arabic tattoo with calligraphy please do extensive research

    • Hey ALyacoub, could you please translate ” Live today forget about tomorrow ” and also could you give me some advice of which font should i use. It will be tattooed on my hip left hand side from below of my armpit downwards.
      I will be grateful if you could help me.

      • live today forget about tomorrow
        عِش اليوم وإنس الغد

        My advice is not to tattoo yourself with these lame sentences, if you really love these words apply them in your life practically.

    • hey ya, if i were to write something in arabic vertically, (i know it cant be written vertically.) but it would be possible to write it so that if it were to be read you would turn your head to the side etc. so would it be appropriate to write it so that the first word is at the top or at the bottom??

    • Can you please translate the names ”Abigail” & ”Taha” for me?
      Is the translation here above ”enternal love” correct?

      Thank you so much

    • i agree with alyaqob. its so sad these people have tattooed weird things on their skins that are not close to the meaning they serious should have done more research.

    • war =حرب
      hate= كره or (Hatred)كراهية
      Every self (also means soul) tastes (not sure, the word spelling you wrote is weird) death.

  4. كل نفس ذائقة الموت is this right ? i found it, but i`m not sure of the translation. :(

  5. Would someone please convert freedom for me in Arabic? And explain when you’re semantic to put the ‘Alif’ infront of words?

    • “الحرية”

      The “Alif” in the begining of a word is just like adding “The” it gives it a powerful sound and meaning.

  6. Can someone please translate Kalila for me it’s my daughter’s name and it’s from Arabic and I would like to get that tattooed

    • do you call her kalila or khalila?

      if you call her khalila then it’d be = خليله

      if you call her kalila then it’d be = كليله

      don’t forget that arabic starts from right to left!

  7. These tattoos are all stunningly beautiful. Arabic wording is not something I had thought of before for a tattoo, but now I really have to get one.

    My son’s name is Riley, and I have always wanted the words THE LIFE OF RILEY tattooed on myself somewhere. Would you be able to translate that into Arabic for me, please?

    Thank you.

    • ليكون غير بديل لك يجب أن تكون مختليف

    • Actually disregard that last one, this one is more accurate. حتى تكون لا غنى عنك، يجب أن تكون مختلف

      • i think that alyacoub has a better translation, it is not exact but more suitable
        لكي لا تستبدل يجب أن تكون مختلفا
        it mean ” in order not to be replaced you should to be different

        another short version is
        لكي لا تستبدل كن مختلفا
        in order not to be replaced be different

    • Beauty in Arabic is جمال and beauty is not a caged bird الجمال ليس عصفور في قفص. Arabic has to be from right to left. (:

  8. Can you please translate a quote for me into Arabic it’s a little long though…
    “Fear is not real, it is a product of what we create. Fear is a choice but the actions and chances we take are very real. Therefore I shall take action and conquer whatever may come because nothing real or unreal shall stop me”

    • الخوف ليس حقيقي، إنه إنتاج لما نخلق. الخوف إختيار لكن الاجراءت Ùˆ الاختيارات التي نأخذها حقيقية جداً. لهذا سوف أخذ اجراءت Ùˆ سوف أقهر أي شيء أقابله لأن لا شيء حقيقي أو غير حقيقي سيوقفني.

    • Deyanira
      ( i dont know what is this)
      Love
      حب
      Family
      there are two translation for this word
      أهل
      or
      عائلة
      If you want to say my family
      أهلي
      or
      عائلتي

  9. Karl is all wrong buddy, this is Karl كارل do your research before u get it. What u have on your arm translates roughly to Lkai yeah haha epic fail

    • The wording will be very awkward, a better way of saying it would be “make God your priority” which is اجعل الله اولويتك

  10. Guyz can anybody translate the below line in Arabic/Urdu for me:

    I’m beautiful in my way Cause God makes no mistakes I’m on the right track, baby I was born this way.

    please do it guyz plssssssssss.

    • this is the translation ” أنا جميلة بطريقتي لأن الله لا يرتكب الأخطاء أنا على الطريق الصحيح ,حبيبي لقد ولدت هكذا”and remember from right to left

  11. Hey guys, can anyone could please translate “ Live today forget about tomorrow “ and also could give me some advice of which font should i use. It will be tattooed on my hip left hand side from below of my armpit downwards.
    I will be grateful if you could help me.

    • live today forget about tomorrow = عش اليوم انسَ الغد
      remember to start from right to left
      i’m sorry i can’t help you with fonts

  12. Hello, can anyone please translate this for me : «How many chances do we get »?
    I’m told كم فرصة لدينا is that accurate?

    • Yep, that’s correct, make sure you have a question mark at the end after لدينا؟
      It should be reversed like that too.

  13. Can I please have this translated into Arabic in the 3 lines please, I just want to compare my results!
    “Learn from yesterday
    Live for today
    Hope for tomorrow”

    • ” تعلّم من الأمس
      عش لليوم
      أأمل للغد”

      remember to start from right to left

    • Beautiful inside and outside
      جميل الداخل والخارج
      ( however using the word inside and outside may be not suitable to describe human a more romantic way to say it
      جميل القلب والقالب
      which mean beautiful in heart and cast
      for female
      جميلة القلب والقالب
      however it is common in Arabic romantic poetry to use male form for both male and female in

  14. I am going in 2 weeks to get “Khalasna” (english meaning enough) tattood and the spelling I have found is “خلصنا” can you confirm that is right?

  15. Are these correct?

    “Innaa Lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji‘oon“
    (Truly! To Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return)
    حقا، إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
    or

  40. Hi,
    can anybody translate “Be at the feet of your mother and it’s paradise there…” in Arabic and also its pronunciation.

  41. I cant believe how many of these are REALLY messed up. I am not even a native Arabic speaker, I just took a couple of years in school and am married to an Arab. Wow, just wow. I suggest people talk to a native Arabic speaker before they put something on themselves for life.

  42. Can someone please translate العينان لا تنفعان عندما يكون العقل أعمى

    • it says:” eyes are useless when the brain is blind”

      or:” eyes don’t matter if the brain is blind”

      something along these lines and btw the arabic grammar is perfect so if you want it tattooed go for it!

  43. Hello!!! I’m from Romania and i would really appreciate if anybody could translate for me ” Heart of a lion” in Arabic. It means a lot to me, thanks !

  44. Approximately 90% of these tattoos are embarrassingly wrong. They mean absolutely nothing in Arabic and have clearly been “translated” (if you can call it that) incorrectly.
    For example, the first tattoo was propabalu trying to say “‘Mary”. It is not connected, and backwards , and reads “aryam” in Arabic.
    The one that says “Karl” looks like someone hit four random buttons on an Arabic keyboard and does not say Karl.

    The rest are pretty much all screwed up.

    Find a speaker who can translate for you before you get inked.

  45. Hi. My name is Victoria from Romania (EUROPE) and i want that someone could translate MY LIFE, AS A VICTORY . The idea is to put my name as a motto of my life…. i’ve asked some persons from Egypt but i can’t trust them so much. I wish i could recieve an e-mail … for the printable word spelling … of this is possible… thank u so much. :)

Please write with the big space between words to see them well and if is possible i would like to see the both spellings… arrabic letters and common letters. I wish so much to spell the sentence wright. Thks.. for understanding. Kisses from me.

  47. Pls pls…. what is the arabic translation of “MY LIFE, AS A VICTORY” ?!? Spelling and how could i pronunce iT… VICTORY = ENTISAR (INTISAR)? THKS

    • yea you’re right victory means انتصار (intisar)
      however im not sure how to translate the sentence it could go like this ” حياتي، كانتصار” (hayaty ka intisar)
      remember to start from right to left

  48. These are some of the most rediculous examples of arabic I’ve ever seen. IF YOU DONT KNOW ARABIC, DON’T GET AN ARABIC TATTOO. Thats the lesson we should all learn here. Let me just pioint out a few of these idiots above:
    Karl is not L-K-A-E….. and half of these are written backwards. Meaning, the letters are in order like english would read (left to right) but should be right to left. So many of them are disconnected, which is a dead give away that you have no idea what someone just permanently tattoo’d on your body. Arabic is a language only written in cursive form. I’m an Arabic translator, let me tell you hard my coworkers and I laughed at these….

  49. I desperately want to get a tattoo in arabic that says “strengthen me”
    but i am getting all these different answers and so worried. Open to proverbs or sayings that represent the same. Could someone kindly please reach and translate “strengthen me” from right to left (the proper way?) ?

    Mercii

  50. hi, can someone translate for me, family is forever or family forever or something similar in arabic, if its different to the two i’ve mentioned please let me know the meaning.

      • Still doesn’t make any sense. Both of these are not abbreviated at all, and only the second one is similar to what the English sentence means. But it doesn’t work despite of that, because it starts with “a” and “to return” doesn’t. Word plays are insanely difficult to translate. One could of course try something like: “حبت ((ر-ÙŠ-ب)) كان بمعنى ((ارجع، يا حازم!”. But where’s the point in that?

        In any case “I miss you Hazem” is easy: “مشتاق لك يا حازم”.

        People, there are quite a lot of comments here saying this already, but PLEASE make sure the words and letters look PROPERLY before you get them inked into your skin. Even copying and pasting something from here doesn’t guarantee that, only showing them to someone who knows how to read the language will!

  51. some of these tattoos are awful! the one that supposed to say “karl” does not even say “karl” when you pronounce the arabic letters!!! the one that says “dominique” is especially awful!!!

  52. Could I please have this translated please ( الحب والسلام والوحدة واحدة ) I am hoping that this translate to
    ( Love and peace, unity as one) , if this is wrong please could you correct it for me, thank you

    • الحب والسلام والتعاضد سوياً
      Is more accurate.
      You have to note that the same sentence can have many translations in Arabic but what i posted is the closest to good Arabic.
      Remember the arabic is written from right to left.

    • سنلتقي جميعا في الجنة
      Remember arabic is from right to left

  53. Hi, some of the comments have covered this point, but just to emphasize, a lot of these people have absolute rubbish written on them, either words which do not exist in Arabic, or written in a way which the Arabic language does not allow – for instance – only some letters may be joined to each other, sometimes on only one side. Also, you cannot just write the letters which make up a word singly if they should be joined – that is, it is not like English where you can write a word in capitals. I think the messsage is – don’t get a tatoo which you cannot understand, or at least have someone with you who can read the language.

  54. oh my goodness! these poor people!!!!!!! so many of these are written in a horribly incorrect way. imagine someone writing a sentence backward and upside-down with spelling errors, a letter or two that doesn’t even exist and some other random error, and that is what half of these tattoos look like. the absolute worst are the ones which don’t connect the cursive Arabic letters together, which is what forms the essence of the beauty in this language’s writing, with its elegant connections. if all your letters are SEPARATE in Arabic, your tattoo is simply ridiculous. even someone with no knowledge whatsoever of Arabic can kind of see that something is wrong. it just looks odd. and even worse with the letters written backwards. mash’allah!

  55. If you want to translate anything frim french/english to Arabic send me an email with your sentence and i will gladly do it for you. Its a shame to see such wonderful people who like to get inked in Arabic doing it wrong…

  56. I have two girls and their names are Miranda and Danyelle. Could some one translate this phase for me.
    “My two angels Miranda and Danyelle” thank you

    • Either:

      ملكتايَ ميراندة ودانيالة

      Note that western names are sometimes difficult to write in Arabic script. One reason is that Arabic only has three vowels, a/i/u – there is no e (except for some of the dialects, but it can’t be written anyways). So the above reads like “Meeraanda” and “Daneeyaala” – the reason for the loooong vowels being that it has become sort of customary to use loooong vowels (Arabic distinguishes between long and short vowels) with western names to make it clearer how to pronounce them.

      Keeping all this in mind, you could also do this:

      ملكتايَ مِرَنْدَة ودَنْيَلَة

      Here, so-called vowelisation signs have been used to help with pronounciation. This is less common but more aesthetically pleasing. I would transcribe it back into English as “Miranda” (with the “r” being a rrrolled one like in Spanish) and “Danyala”. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get much closer than this with your second daughter’s name. In case the “e” at the end isn’t pronounced, “Danyal” would of course be possible. Then it becomes:

      ملكتايَ مِرَنْدَة ودَنْيَل

      The first word (remember to read from right to left!) makes use of the dual, which is like singular or plural in English but always means “two of something”, in this case angels. The little wavy sign at the end of the word makes it “*my* two angels”. This dual stuff is not usually done in day-to-day language but is often used in literature, poetry, etc.

  57. Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but the one that’s supposed to say ‘butterfly’ isn’t faded, it’s actually horribly infected and is just now looking like it’s starting to heal, though it’ll never look ‘quite right’ after an infection like that unless it gets retouched.

  58. Hi can any arabic-knowing person help give me the words believer, traveler, thinker, and dreamer but all separately please, thank you.

  59. Please anyone, make sure that you have a native speaker of the language you’re about to engrave in your body because half of these pictures have wrong words or interpretation. Never trust Google and some sentences can’t just be, for example in English we say nice car but in Arabic we say car nice
