INKEDblog takes you beneath the skin of today's tattoo culture. Our mission is to celebrate tattooing as a modern art form which incorporates art, fashion, style, and pop culture. While paying homage and respect to the past, we look to present a contemporary take on the present and future of skin art.

Kick Ass Arabic Tattoos With… Odd Meanings

We love Arabic tattoos. The script has a movement and flow to it that seems made for body art. A famous Iranian artist once compared Arabic script to running horses, a comparison that has never ceased to thrill us.

But what happens when you take an ancient and beautiful language and create really strange phrases? Everyone’s heard horror stories about mistranslated tats, but who’s really going to call you on what they say?

Here are three beautiful tats we want to start seeing!

“I don't know if I’ll succeed in life or not, probably not, but I’ll let you know later.”

“I think I will be happy in my life because my wife does not spend too much money.”

“I am devoted to smoking.”
