hi could the jewish or hindi community on here help me please ??????

[dressedupnowheretogotilxmas]

my other thread

please see other thread i would like either pointing in the right direction

or if this is offensive at all please say

I don't think it would be offensive to jews unless you had the name of g-d.

i'll veto the jewish thing then as it seems bad taste

will go find a pretty script

just a ps

me and my dh have had a very hard year and i know by doing this it will mean a hell of a lot to both of us and i wanted to do it in a way it could almost be our code between us

but thank yuo all for help it is much appreciated

I'd also say that walking around with hebrew script can lay you open to anti-semitism

Arf @ Blu's Wingdings!

hebrew is also the language of another country . the jewish faith does not allow tattoos, also, many jews dislike them due to the fact jews were forcibly tattooed in the holocaust.

i am jewish, i don;t find it offensive, but a bit irrelevant, using another language that does not mean anything to you, to portray something so strong and personal to you

having the name christian in hebrew is a bit , dunno, odd to me.

up to you though, you are bound to offend someone on some level with a tattoo due to all sorts of connotations, so really it is your choice.

x posted ! sorry !

Just thinking some languages do look more decorative than others (for one thing because you cannot actually read them so they are not decipherable to you). For me Hebrew looks like unfurling ribbons because I can't read it so I don't see the words just the shapes IYSWIM.

Not that it has much to do with anything... Camilla, are you Lulu of the haunted house? If so , I was wondering if the ghost had gone for good.

ah just seen the answer to that on the haunted house thread! Oh dear

yes and yes ! !

tattoos are prohibited in the orthodox tradition of judaism.

Not Jewish myself, but I think that makes it a little culturally insensitive to appropriate another culture and then 'misapply' it, IYSWIM, in particular the name Christian.

there are other historical reasons why a tattoo in hebrew might be seen as offensive

pls post link to haunted house saga. i read half & then lost it.
