Such a tattoo provides a wonderful opportunity to express oneself, declare one's way and meaning of life, talk about one's feelings and beliefs, express and affirm one's life position, emphasize the hidden line of the soul and the strength of the human spirit.
Such an inscription can be used as a signature or commentary on some drawing or as an independent tattoo. But in the case of phrases in Latin for tattoos, they carry much more meaning than any drawing.
In fact, there are a lot of popular and I would say already hackneyed phrases in Latin, but I advise you not to repeat other people's thoughts and someone else's styles, but to express only your own, and let them be understood only by you, or narrow circles of your acquaintances, but they will carry a special meaning. Tattoos in Latin can express all thoughts and feelings, in any way you like. Often, without resorting to meaning, people simply use the beauty of Latin letters, depicting names, dates or titles on themselves. Although the catalogs have a lot of suggestions for ready-made thoughts, words and phrases and their images, a skilled tattoo artist will be able to fill you with any expression in any handwriting and font. This kind of tattoo can, in principle, be located on any part of the body, in any form, and in different colors. It all depends on the desires and style of self-expression of the client.
As tattoos, popular expressions, Latin proverbs, quotes from the Bible and other books are used. But only so that they fit perfectly and become another personal characteristic of the tattoo wearer.
Tattoos with inscriptions are perhaps one of the best ways to express yourself. A special place in this category is occupied by phrases in Latin with translation, which is not at all surprising. This ancient language is the progenitor of many European languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian), it was spoken by the best philosophers, generals, rulers and scientists of the past centuries. Latin is the language of Horace, Cicero, Aristotle, Hippocrates, Julius Caesar.

Not all people are fluent in Latin, so we publish a list of interesting phrases with translation into Russian. Below, we have broken up some examples of inscriptions into several sections, depending on what message they carry. If you did not find the phrase you need, look at other inscriptions for tattoos or ask a question in the comments.
Despite the fact that at present the language has fallen out of active use, it has left an indelible mark on culture in the form of great scientific works filled with deep philosophical thoughts and aphorisms, which have not lost their significance and relevance even now. The great sayings of antiquity are now used as an original and beautiful way to express your inner world, ideals and principles through tattooing.
It is interesting! Despite the fact that Latin is considered a dead language, there is one state where Latin has the status of an official language. In the Vatican, all the rites of worship and the maintenance of church documentation still take place in Latin.

Reasons for the popularity of tattoos with inscriptions in Latin
- Such tattoos look very beautiful, and the sound of the inscription always pleasantly surprises.
- Such tattoos attract many with their interesting appearance. Girls often pay attention not only to the content of the tattoo, its meaning, but also to the appearance of the tattoo. Of course, men are also concerned about this, but still women attach the greatest importance to this.
- Latin phrases are concise. They are quite small in size, just three words in Latin often contain a lot of meaning. Most girls and young people prefer small tattoos that are easily hidden under clothing. It is tattoos with inscriptions in Latin that have these useful properties.
- A tattoo with a phrase in Latin allows you to express your feelings, emotions.
- Such a tattoo will allow others to know you better, understand you, your feelings. The depth of your thoughts can be reflected in one small tattoo.
Often, the names of their loved ones are written in Latin, fastening them with inextricable bonds - beautiful patterns. Such tattoos contain the names of your loved ones, for example, a loved one. You may decide to tattoo your body with the names of your parents or your children.
Types of inscriptions for tattoos in Latin
Latin phrases
➤Latin phrases usually consist of several words and have a specific theme: for example, family, law, friendship. Latin phrases can be both general statements and have a special case. Among the well-known phrases in Latin are the following: "castigat ridendo mores"; (Joking to punish the funny), "aut viam inveniam aut faciam" (Either find a way, or pave it yourself) and "non omnis moriar"; (no, all of me will not die). See the most popular statements below.
Philosophical sayings in Latin
Philosophical thoughts in Latin, unlike phrases, are usually better known. Many have been spoken by famous scientists or expressed by famous thinkers. It is quite possible to say that the most famous philosophical saying was Descartes's saying: "cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am), which addresses the question of the existence of mankind and the question of being. Other well-known philosophical sayings in Latin include "errare humanum est" (to err is human), "facta non verba" (not in word but in deed) and "nosce te ipsum" (know thyself).
Modern Latin phrases
Today, modern famous quotes and phrases are translated into Latin. For example, the immortal saying of Martin Luther King, "I have a dream," was translated into Latin as: "Habeo Somnium." And here is the famous exclamation from the movie “A Christmas carol” “Idiotic traditions!” (Usually referring to Christmas. Explained in BBC video tutorials.) “Bah! Humbug" was translated as: "Phy! Fabulae" and Beam Me Scotty (from the television series Star Trek) as: "me transmitte sursum caledoni"
Tattoo translation into Latin
The Internet is a huge space where you can get a translation of almost any statement or inscription from Russian into another language of your choice. Latin is no exception. Using free/paid translation services, you can get a phrase in Latin for your tattoo. For example, you liked the phrase: “God is love”, type the phrase in a search engine and look for matches in Latin, it’s better, of course, to know some other language: the chances of finding what you need increase. For example, in English this phrase would look like this: "God is love", which in Latin: "Deus est diligo".
Tattoo translation in professional fields
➤People of a certain profession - the military or doctors - also gravitate towards tattoos in the form of an inscription in Latin. As military phrases, many use sayings like: "pro patria" (for the Motherland), "semper paratus" (always ready), and "haec protegimus" (under our protection) are all popular slogans. People associated with medicine commonly use phrases like: "dei gratia" (by the grace of God), "bonadiagnosis, bona curatio" (A good diagnosis is a good cure), or "non sibi sed omnibus" ("not to yourself, but to others") .
In fact, there are a lot of popular and I would say already hackneyed phrases in Latin, but I advise you not to repeat other people's thoughts and someone else's styles, but to express only your own, and let them be understood only by you, or narrow circles of your acquaintances, but they will carry a special meaning. Tattoos in Latin can express all thoughts and feelings, in any way you like. Often, without resorting to meaning, people simply use the beauty of Latin letters, depicting names, dates or titles on themselves. Although the catalogs have a lot of suggestions for ready-made thoughts, words and phrases and their images, a skilled tattoo artist will be able to fill you with any expression in any handwriting and font. This kind of tattoo can, in principle, be located on any part of the body, in any form, and in different colors. It all depends on the desires and style of self-expression of the client.
The meaning of tattoos made in Latin and their meaning
Inscription in Latin on the body can be an excellent idea for people with deep philosophical views, reflecting on the meaning of life. The advantage of a phrase in Latin with a translation is that only the one who possesses it understands the meaning and meaning of the inscription, because not everyone wants to put their sacred thoughts and life credo on public display. This is a kind of talisman, designed to always remind a person of who he is and what he is striving for.
Important! When searching for a phrase in Latin for a tattoo, it is better to use several translation sources in order to avoid possible errors and inaccuracies.
Common topics of sayings in Latin
Despite the fact that no one speaks Latin for a long time, a large number of deep philosophical sayings and quotations on a variety of topics have survived to this day. Girls most often prefer to apply phrases dedicated to love, relationships and family values. Men like sayings about life and death. Spiritualized and creative personalities usually choose quotes about freedom and defiance of fate.
Did you know? The first tattoos with inscriptions in Latin appeared in the Middle Ages. Members of religious communities applied quotations from the Bible and oaths in the name of Christ as a symbol of unshakable faith in the Almighty and as a sign of loyalty to the brotherhood.
Style of tattoos - inscriptions
Depending on the meaning contained in the inscription in Latin, on the size of the saying itself, on the location of the tattoo on the body, there are many options for designing the image. It can be ornate artsy inscriptions with monograms or a strict and solemn Gothic style, some prefer to make inscriptions as if printed on their skin, others like sayings harmoniously inscribed in the composition of any image. A deep philosophical thought, dressed in an attractive decorative form, will please the owner of the tattoo not only with a semantic load, but also with an original interpretation.
Important! Before the master starts work, ask him to show you a portfolio! Not all masters who professionally apply images can cope with applying text. The most common defects in the work with inscriptions are spelling errors, unplanned tilting of letters to the right and left, uneven distribution of pigment, as a result of which some letters may become partially or completely invisible.
Where on the body is it better to get a tattoo with inscriptions
Depending on the size, shape and meaning of the phrase in Latin, the appropriate location on the body is selected. Long lines look good on the arm and along the collarbone. Small capacious statements written in small print look very neat and original on the female foot. Large text written in large print can be applied to the area of the shoulder blade, or between the shoulder blades. This arrangement will look interesting on both the male and female backs. Volumetric tattoos, supplemented with images, can be placed in the back or under the ribs.
A tattoo with a phrase in Latin looks perfect on any part of the body of a girl or a young man. Most often, girls make tattoos with inscriptions on the neck, wrist, back, ankle. In men, a popular part of the body for applying such a tattoo is the chest, back, arms. Choose the place where you want to tattoo, consciously, considering all the nuances. Of course, the tattoo on the palm looks interesting, but it can attract the attention of the authorities, cause their negative emotions. It's probably best for them not to know you have a tattoo.
Recently, the half-length arrangement of inscriptions on the body has come into fashion. One part is applied to one hand, the second part to the other, each part of the phrase in itself contains a wise thought, however, when the hands are combined, the tattoo becomes one, revealing the full meaning of the saying.
It is necessary to approach the issue of the location of the tattoo on the body with full responsibility, as it is selected and applied for life. If the application of any philosophical saying has for a person not just a decorative purpose, but a tattoo is also his motivator, then it is better to do it not in the most visible place, so that, as it should be for a talisman, the inscription inspires, gives new strength, without wasting energy, enclosed in it, on strangers.
Important! When applying a tattoo in the chest, abdomen and hips, it must be taken into account that in this place the skin is especially prone to stretching, which is fraught with a change in the image and the quality of the applied pattern! The skin on the wrists is very delicate and vulnerable, the inscriptions made in this place will not be worn for a long time and may require correction.
Stages of tattooing
Properly performed steps of tattooing ensure the safety of the client and allow you to get a high-quality beautiful image.
From the idea to the realization of the idea of a tattoo, there are several steps.
- It all starts with choosing a phrase that you would like to see on the body. You can, having come to the salon, look at and select a sketch in the catalog, or you can independently find your favorite saying in any source and, together with the master, come up with a stylistic design for it.
- Having decided on the desired image and its location on the body, the skin in the selected area, if necessary, is removed from the hairs, degreased and lubricated with an antiseptic gel.
- The sketch is transferred to the skin.
- With the help of a tattoo machine, a dye is injected under the skin, and a tattoo is applied.
- At the end of the tattooing process, the skin is again treated with an antiseptic and a healing ointment is applied. The area of skin with a tattoo is covered with antiseptic material and cling film, this helps to avoid infection and drying out of the wound. The bandage can be removed after 3-4 hours.
- The tattoo made heals for about a week, during this period it is necessary to lubricate this area of the skin with healing ointments, and also avoid prolonged contact with the sun and water.
