HEBREW TATTOO POTRAIT

In the year 2005, while I was 20 years old, I tattooed on my back the word "'woman" in a mirror text.
It has taken me 4 years to be completely satisfied with the word and its meaning, in order to carry it for the rest of my life.

The second time I was deal with my tattoo was during my BA Graphic Design studies. I had to take a group's portrait that have anything in common. it was the first time I ask my self if there any more crazy people like me that make Hebrew tattoo over them self?

This is how it all began.

I find the decision of making this kind of tattoo is more complete than an image tattoo. We instinctively analyze the meaning of tattoos while providing criticism over the person who carries them. Therefore the searching of those people that carry Hebrew text tattoo reveals personal stories. Stories of why and where the tattoo is. Stories of people.

Happy Endings’ Star Adam Pally Rocks a Hebrew Tattoo
On last week’s episode of Happy Endings, Max (played by Adam Pally) had a shirtless scene. Since the show features a healthy amount of sex, that wasn’t unusual. But what was unusual was the discovery that Max and his portrayer have a chest tattoo. A Hebrew tattoo that reads “Asher.”
In an interview with Craig Ferguson, Pally talked about the tattoo and said that Asher is his Hebrew name. Since tattoos are outlawed in Judaism, the ink is extra funny. However, the episode didn’t cover the tattoo up with body makeup or address or give any background into how Max might have ended up with the tat. Therefore, I’m going to retcon it and say that Max had a Jewish boyfriend back in the day and got his name tattooed on him and just hasn’t bothered to remove it yet. And now I’m going to think about which cute Jewy actor they can get to play Asher in a flashback.

Here we go again.
Back in the day when the One Direction boys got their first tattoos, we were excited, we were flabberghasted, we were quite frankly obsessed. But now when we hear that the 1D lads have sketched themselves another inking to stick on their lovely bodies, we barely bat an eyelid as it just happens ALL THE TIME.
Today’s 1D tattoo related news however, DID make us do a bit of a double take, as it sounds pretty dramatic. Apparently, Harry Styles is planning to cover his ENTIRE BACK with a giant intricate tattoo of a Hebrew design. Oh jeez.
Harry Styles
According to Harry’s LA-based tattoo artist, Freddy Negrete, Harry’s back will no longer be recognisable when he next returns to Los Angeles. OH BUT WE LIKE HIS BACK THE WAY IT IS. Wonder what he'll get written on himself this time. Maybe his regular KFC order? It'd save queuing time...
Negrete spilled to The Daily Star that “He just can’t seem to stop tattooing at the moment. But he’s getting worried they’re all too front-heavy so it’s definitely his back we’ll be concentrating on.”
He went on to reveal that the huge design could take a pretty long time to complete thanks to its precise detailing and impressive size (ahem). “The whole thing could take months. Harry will probably have more Hebrew lettering. He already has his sister’s name in Hebrew on his arm and he loves it.”
Harry Styles
Well all we can say is good luck finding room on his bod for a tattoo of that size. It's starting to look like a flippin' map of England's motorways on that torso of his.
This latest inking will knock Harry's tattoo count up to 7 billion and 68. Approximately.

What do you think of Harry's latest body art plans?

Hebrew Tattoos
The craze for Hebrew tattoos is driven by the rising popularity of the language's symbolism for movie stars and other celebrities. As such, Hebrew tattoos have gained notoriety over the last few years, in trend with other tattoo art, thanks in no small part to figures like Victoria Beckham, Madonna, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.
For some, a Hebrew tattoo can express a deep spiritual connection - whether for love, faith, or courage. For others, however, especially for those of a more Orthodox nature, Hebrew is a sacred language.
The old guard frowns upon tattooing some words in Hebrew anywhere in the body (in fact, Leviticus 19:28 says, "You shall not make cuts in your body...nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD."). As forbidding as the scripture might sound, Hebrew tattoos are still highly sought-after.

Hebrew Script

In order to have a true Hebrew tattoo, one must refer to the Hebrew script. Hebrew is a very elegant, pictorial language, what makes the Hebrew script perfect for tattoos. Here is the alphabet (it has some very similar letters):
Hebrew alphabet


The search for "Hebrew tattoos" on any engine will invariably bring up dozens of websites offering photos of Hebrew words tattooed on the skin, all with varying degrees of accuracy.
The Hebrew script is quite complex; moving the placement of a vowel in the script might turn your declaration of "love" into "leather" -- or your "freedom" into a "vacation." Buyer beware!
This only reinforces the necessity for an accurate translation for your Hebrew tattoo, especially if you plan upon having it done in consonants-only, as the script was originally written.
Some facts about the Hebrew script:
  • Hebrew is written from the right to the left.
  • The Hebrew alphabet has 27 letters.
  • Hebrew is an abjad type of writing system, all symbols of the alphabet stand for a consonant and the reader must supply the correct vowel himself.
  • Hebrew letters can also be used as numbers (common in the Kabbalah).
  • There's also a system called niqqud that uses vowel points to indicate vowels. It's used in poetry, prayer books, foreign words, ...

    Here is the Hebrew transliteration of the name "Sharon" with niqqud:

Hebrew Tattoo Designs

There are as many designs for a tattoo in Hebrew as there are grains of sand on a beach, it seems, and all can be modified to suit one's personal taste. Most are of a religious or otherwise spiritual sort, with other symbols surrounding. By no means does this limit Hebrew tattoos to Jewish or Christian followers!
Keep in mind that the Hebrew language is written from right to left - and make sure to double check with a native speaker before getting any permanent ink. It is quite possible that many of the free designs available are actually backwards...how embarrassing!

I Am My Beloved's And My Beloved Is Mine

The phrase "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine" or "I am for my beloved and my beloved is for me" is the most popular translation request we receive.
The phrase comes from the Song of Songs in the Hebrew Bible. The song is about fidelity and is often engraved on wedding rings. It must be the most popular Hebrew tattoo design as well.
There's a lot of discussion if this Bible quote can be used by males or not. In the Bible the phrase is spoken by a female to a male. In Hebrew the phrase is pronounced as Ani le'dodi ve'dodi li. Dodi (a male word) means "my beloved" and can be interpreted as:
  • The female's lover
  • God
So the phrase can be interpreted as:
  • The love a woman has for her lover.
  • The love the people of Israel have for God.
Furthermore, in modern Hebrew (as opposed to Biblical Hebrew), Dod means uncle. Using the female version of dod, doda, would bring the phrase in the realms of modern Hebrew and would express the love of a guy for his aunt, which is at least said a bit peculiar. Trying to make the phrase masculine would disfigure it.
In my opinion this Bible phrase can be used by anyone, regardless of sex. In Israel the phrase is used on all wedding related things, like rings, decorations, art, ...

Victoria and David Beckham

Both Victoria and David Beckham have the Hebrew script for the above "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine, who browses among the lilies" as a tattoo.
Victoria Beckham has her tattoo design on her upper back, following her spine. David Beckham's tattoo is on his forearm.
Here are pictures of the matching tattoos:

Hamsa Tattoo

A Hamsa Design
The Hamsa (aka Hand of Miriam) is a Hebrew symbol used to protect against the evil eye. It is used on charms, but also as a tattoo design. Sometimes the hamsa tattoo is combined with fish images (Jewish symbol for good luck) or Hebrew prayers.
The Hamsa is also known in the Arabic world, as Hand of Fatima or Eye of Fatima.

Madonna's Hebrew Tattoo

Madonna's Hebrew tattoo
Madonna, in one of her more recent music videos for the "Die Another Day" James Bond film, displayed a Hebrew tattoo on her upper arm.
The Hebrew script she chose to display did cause some controversy. She has the letters "lamed", "alef" and "vav" tattooed on her shoulder, but those letters don't form a Hebrew word. At first, it looked as though it were simply stylish gibberish - and many dismissed it as such, another flagrantly displayed international spelling mistake.
As it turns out, however, Madonna's tattoo had deeper meaning. Rather than simply being a word in Hebrew, it was one of the many names for God as written in the Kabbalah. Legend has it that each name of God in the Hebrew language has an empowering effect, gracing the speaker (or in this case, the bearer) strength of mind, presence of faith, the will to subdue the ego, and so forth - another reason why Hebrew tattoos are so popular today.

The Hebrew Tattoo of Britney Spears

Britney Spears had a Hebrew tattoo as well. Following her friend (at that time) Madonna, she had the characters "mem", "he" and "shin" tattooed on the back of her neck. Together the characters form one of the 72 words for God (Kabbalah).
Reportedly, the first version of the tattoo had an error in it that made the word meaningless. Later, she had this corrected.
She had the Hebrew tattoo lasered off somewhere in 2008.

Christina Aguilera has a Hebrew tattoo on her left arm. She has the characters "Yud" and "Bet" surrounded by the Spanish text "Te Amo Siempre" ("I love you always"). The Hebrew characters are the initials of her boyfriend Jordan Bratman. Yud (Y) is used for the J (the J doesn't exist in the Hebrew alphabet) and Bet is B, so: JB.
Christina has another Hebrew tattoo on her lower back, the popular "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine"-tattoo.
