hebrew tattoo

Are you aware that Jews are not supposed to have tatoos? Not that a tatoo cannot be in Hebrew, but it might be looked upon as odd, by those that know that Jews are not supposed to have tatoos. Neither are Muslims.

methinks that someone named lindsey o' brien is not Jewish, so therefore it wouldn't matter. As a Jew, I wouldn't care if she had a tatoo in Hebrew.

You might want to try http://www.createmytattoo.com They have artists from around the world and design custom tattoos online. Hope that helps. Good luck with the tattoo.

perhaps she's one o' them displaced Irish Jews?

Jews dont tattoo themselves.

Torah expressly prohibits tattoos:

This prohibition applies equally to men and women.

reread..the woman who in question is a non-Jew.

that's what makes it so clueless and lame. a hebrew tattoo is like a kosher pork chop.

people like the look of the script, and that one must decode it to read it. Being connected to Jews is incidental.

Do you know how to write Jaxon(Jackson) in hebrew?

ג 'קסון

Actually, that would be pronouced Gackson. There's no J sound in Hebrew.

I'm only a גוי, as you know..

Hahaha! Meshuganeh!

That's why some of us are You-ish!

I want to get my sons names in Hebrew but I don't know if I should have it so it looks like jaxon or yakson because my other sons name is Jacob and his name is Hebrew. I would think that they should look simi similar right? Jacob is yud, ayin, qof and beit. So should jax be yud, ayin, qof, samech and nun?

Technically (and this is stretching thing) it would be in English son of Jacob (Jack -son), hence ben yakov.

No, he was right. The letter ג with an apostrophe is used to transliterate the J sound into Hebrew. It's relatively common in Hebrew loanwords, like די-ג'י (DJ).

First: Bad idea. It's probably too late, and it's unlikely that anyone--especially you--will ever see this reply, but don't get a Hebrew tattoo. It will most likely go horribly wrong.

If, by some miracle, your girlfriend never got around to doing it but still wants to over a decade later, and you happen to see this in time, and you're going to ignore my above warning, then read on.

לינ(ד)זי או' בריאן. Only add the ד if she pronounces the D, i.e. "Lin-dzey".

Turn the phrase COUNTER-CLOCKWISE so the ל is on top of her spine and the ן is at its base. It would look much better if you also turned the letters themselves 90 degrees clockwise, such that the phrase would look normal when she lies on her side.
