My husband needs help for his new tatoo!

We need - A FATHER'S LOVE- translated into latin. One father, two children, don't know if that makes a difference or not. And if it makes a difference, we need all uppercase letters. This is why we need help, we don't know!

Please don't respond with "kick me" for his tatoo! Laughing It's important to him that it be what he means!

Thanks!

PATRIS AMOR


Since this is for a tattoo, it would be wise to have someone else review it.
I'm not a professional Latin scholar, just a guy who does this for fun.

I like George's translation: I can see it in ink, as it offers the opportunity for symmetry, and it has clarity.

If your husband really takes his fatherhood seriously, and he wants to ring in the fact that you have two children, you could do:

PATRIARCHAE AMOR

which would mean a father's or a chief of a tribe's love.

This would make symmetry difficult, and its length sounds potentially painful. I'd go with George's. I also would second George's suggestion that you check with a Latin scholar, because erasures are so expensive in tattoos.
