What's "penis forehead" in Latin?

If you don't know Latin, why do you want a tattoo in it? This reminds me of the guy in the UK who got a tattoo in Japanese which he believed read "prosperity and love" or something, but which actually read "At the end of the day, this is still an ugly man" :laugh:

I know Latin somewhat, just tell me what you want it to say and I'll give it my best shot. However there is no such thing as a good latin translator, it has too many rules and such to translate accurately.

Do what I did - politely email all the professors in your school's latin department. At least a few will reply.

Edit: Email professors at ANY school.

I'm a little reluctant to help because I know I would be pissed if someone led me wrong and I got a tatoo that I regreted. Therefore, don't take this as your only advice. The best translators are Latin to English exclusivly, but there are some ok ones that are English to Latin.

Java translator
More of a scholerly translator

Warrior is most commonly "miles"
Servant is most commonly "famulus" with the caviat that servus is more common, but it means exclusivly means servant as in a slave. Famulus means servant, but it can be either a hired servant or a slave.

thanks guys...you think you could also do this phrase:

"The World Is Yours"

theres a guy on here somewhere that took it for 4 years and is fluent. told us a story of how he would impress chicks by being able to read the statues and whatnot in old churches

 

[SetItOff]

well hopefully he reads this then

Romanus Eunt Domitus!

bump...can anyone translate that?

 

[chcarnage]

"mundus tuus est" or "orbis tuus est". Mundus mainly means world while orbis also describes circles (maybe you remember the pope blessing "urbi (city of Rome) et orbi"), I think it is somewhat poetical. Mh just pick the one that better fits the design of the tatoo

If by "yours" you mean more than one person, replace "tuus" with "vester".

Edit: It's dead sure, mustpost's java applet and my dusty Latin book both said so

Oh, and if you are going to write Latin in capitals (Times font like), the old Romans wrote the capital U as V.
