    Is this phrase Thai ?


    I wanna tattoo the phrase which is along back bone, I heard that they are ancient Thai words, something relates to Buddhist.
    Please help me where I can find those words and can you guys rewrite the phrase above.(including meaning). Thanks alot.

    Hi!

    Passion!

    Yes it is Thai, but sorry to tell you the Tatto along the backbone is not much of Buddhism or ancient Thai:-)

    หมายเลขของฉันเซเว่น maai laek kong chan 7 (seven) = meaning My number is seven, I suppose it's his "lucky number"

    The other one though is a Sak Yant and the one you see on his shoulder is ยันต์ห้าแถว yan haa teow = five magic row often written in Pali/thai, sanskrit or khmer, told to bring good luck and keep the evil demon away:-)

    One of the most stupid Tattoos I have ever seen.

    Sometimes I really wonder what people think when getting something inked like that - might be a loss of a bet, being drunk or having no brain at all.

    I would like a Thread with the most stupid Tattoos ever seen

    I think Tod mentioned many in different Threads, maybe he can recall them all, collect them and put together in a New Thread.

    Hi

    young people collect tattoos like old men collect jackets with restuarant names or business trademarks on the backs.

    I don't understand either just live and let live at least it gives me something to laugh at

    I must admit I used to frown on tattoos, especially that I used to be affiliated with a company which does not employ people with tats as part of their hiring policies. But I got hooked on a photographers' blogger's site which often features subjects wearing artful tats. That's how I started to appreciate tats!

    It's nice that we point out inappropriate words, messages or designs in the tats that the persons concerned are ignorant about. Beyond that, I'd let them be. The only thing I'd say is that persons having tattoos in them should bear in mind that they are not for the fickleminded. And if these people later realize that they have made a mistake, they should be ready to face the consequences. (Sounds like marriage? LOL)

    Thank you so much. Im lucky to meet you guys here.
    But I wonder whether the phrase makes sense if they are tattooed by single word, I mean a thread along back bone

    Yes, it can be read by a Thai and will be understood - but I think it looks to strange and I would not use it writing like this when it has to be Thai Script.
