Latin tattoos: deep.
Source: waywardclassics.blogspot.com
I found this hilarious post today about badly translated Latin tattoos (some NSFW language).
Why would anybody permanently mark their body with a slogan without making sure the translation was correct first? Some of them even leave English words in – a nice juxtaposition of modern parlance and a 2000+ year old language, or pretentious and lazy? You decide.
People – if you feel the need to get a tattoo of something in another language… never ever trust that Google Translate is going to be up for the job. Check with a native speaker!

be available that in detail, so that thing is maintained over here.

Today I found the boxes of photos and cracked them open for the first
time since 2000 (when I bought my first digital camera).
