Chances are good that you've noticed the strange phenomenon spreading through the celebrity world – we can probably sum it up in one sentence: “Sexy tattoos out, Hebrew tattoos in.” The trend that began with international stars such as Madonna, Justin Bieber, Victoria Beckham (and Mr. Beckham of course) and even Britney Spears has recently gained traction amongst the general public.
So what exactly motivates so many people to tattoo Hebrew on their bodies? What makes sane people tattoo onto their bodies letters in a language they don’t speak? To find out, keep reading, the answer is up next.

Attraction to the Holy Tongue

It seems that there are many factors that led these celebrities to tattoo themselves with Hebrew letters. First of all, Kabbalah wisdom continues gaining popularity. For many people, Hebrew letters symbolize a connection with hidden powers and quite a number of athletes say that they feel that their tattoos give them spiritual and even physical strength. Many Christians claim that this is their way to connect to the Scriptures and Hebrew was Jesus’s language and the language that the Bible was written in. On top of all this, Hebrew tattoos strongly connect people to the Holy Land and communities in Zion. Unfortunately, sometimes when people want to get a tattoo, they use, for example, Google Translate; and sometimes something gets lost in translation…

Actual mistakes

It’s unclear why people would want to tattoo something on their body before fully clarifying that it is 100% correct, but Hebrew tattoo mistakes are not hard to find. One excellent example is Timothy, a 48-year-old Texan who wanted to tattoo “the father, the son and the holy spirit ” onto his body in Hebrew but in the end, tattooed the mistake, “ישוא, אב, רוח הקדוש” – which is kind of like “Jesoos, father, the spirit of a holy man.”
Another example is a girl named Julia who wanted to tattoo the Hebrew translation of the sentence “Lord give me strength” from top to bottom along her spine. Unfortunately, the tattoo artist was unaware of the fact that the Hebrew language is read from right to left and therefore tattooed the letters upside down. In addition, he thought that the letter Yud was a kind of comma. Not only this, but he also got confused between the letter Taf and Chet, and between Kaf and Mem, and in the end the tattoo that was left on Julia’s unfortunate skin was, “חמ ל' ןח םה'ולא” (Try to read this sentence backwards and discover what is written in place of the simple translation, “אלוהים תן לי כח”). A very sad incident indeed.
There is an entire website devoted to funny Hebrew tattoos - www.badhebrew.com.

Professional tattoo translation – for your peace of mind

These mistakes and many more could have been prevented. There is no reason for people to walk around for the rest of their lives with a sad and embarrassing mistake branded into their skin. This also goes for Israelis who were tattooed with a Chinese word meaning funny clown, for example, when they were sure that their tattoo meant health, peace, or happiness.

If you want a tattoo of a sentence or phrase in a foreign language, the translation staff at Trans-that translation company will happily receive your request. The translation of the tattoo that you have always wanted will be conducted by a native speaker of the Hebrew language so that you can be completely sure that your tattoo is in fact precisely translated and reflects exactly what you want to express.

 


The net overflows with pictures of Victoria’s tattooed neck and back. But no one has explained the Hebrew words, how one pronounces them, what the imagery means. Those who tried got it wrong (see below)!  A picture of Victoria’s tattoo is reproduced below.
Hebrew is a gorgeous language, and the Song of Solomon is magnificent love poetry. For a short introduction and sample poetic translation, go here.
If you are thinking about learning Hebrew, find a teacher and go for it! You will not be disappointed. Some tips for those who wish to pursue Hebrew are available here.
This is the Hebrew on Victoria’s back (from top to bottom across her neck and back, read from right to left here; I subdivide the text into three thoughts):
אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי
וְדוֹדִי לִי
הָרֹעֶה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּים
 It’s a quote from Song of Solomon 6:3.
 This is how one pronounces it, phrase-by-phrase (capitalized syllables receive stress):
 אֲנִי לְדוֹדִי
Ah-NEE  le-doh-DEE
 וְדוֹדִי לִי
 Ve-doh-DEE  LEE
הָרֹעֶה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּים
 Ha-roh-EY ba-shoh-sha-NEEM
Here is a translation (a girl speaks):
 
I am my love’s
and my love is mine,
who browses among the lilies.
(Song of Solomon 6:3 - my translation)
 What does it mean? That’s pretty obvious, except for the last phrase. Ancient Hebrew can be very roundabout in its erotic expressions. The lover who grazes, or browses, among the lilies, is elsewhere described in these terms (once again, a girl speaks):
 A sachet of myrrh
is my love to me;
between my breasts he lodges.
            (Song of Solomon 1:13 - my translation)
 By now the meaning of the imagery should be clear.
Victoria Beckham has excellent taste in love poetry. Did you know the Bible has love poetry in it? It does, some of the best ever written.
In another way, the Bible is an exchange of love letters between God and humanity. The letters are full of desire and wrath and sweetness. A stormy love, in which God’s faithfulness saves the day against all odds more than once.
The Bible will always be worth reading. Here are links to translations that are accurate but not too difficult to follow, with introductions and notes to each book:
Jewish Study Bible
HarperCollins Study Bible with New Testament and Apocrypha
By the way, when it comes to Hebrew Tattoos, Buyers Beware!
As an aid to some of my friends who always have their nose in a book, Victoria Beckham, born Victoria Caroline Adams, is best-known as "Posh Spice" of the famous Spice Girls.

John, have you ever read "The Greatest Song" by Calvin Seerveld? Seerveld examines The Song of Songs and retranslates it literally for musical chorus and solo voices. The most interesting critique to me was that he finds two male solo voices instead of the traditional one. As a result, in addition to the erotic love relationship between the maiden and her lover, he also finds a thread of lust by an older, lecherous Solomon toward the maiden. The maiden rebuffs Solomon’s efforts to “know her” and remains faithful to her real lover. It's a fascinating treatment of the text and a real contrast to the translation we normally see.

Hebrew is a remarkably poetic and fluid language because most nouns and verbs are based on a three-letter root, or "shoresh." The shoresh has a generic meaning that is only made specific by the presence of prefixes, infixes and suffixes, and the context of the phrase or sentence. The shoresh "tsur," for example, can mean create, rock, God or even oppress, depending on how it is expressed in a sentence. Internet resources, however, have advanced to the point where you can get at least a limited sense of what a given Hebrew passage might mean.

  • Hebrew is not an easy language. Even Hebrew native speakers don’t speak it correctly; and writing it correctly, especially when it comes to idioms and Bible verses, is even less common. This is particularly true when the phrase is with Nikkud (the little dots and dashes around the letters) – most Hebrew native speakers will be able to read it, but not to write it correctly!
  • Most Hebrew tattoo meaning or spelling mistakes cannot be fixed by re-doing the tattoo. Fixing the mistake would only be possible after a very expensive laser tattoo removal treatment. So why not get it right the first time?
