A gorgeous tattoo. Love the lilies. However from the
original webpage, the anonymous owner of this tattoo believes that their text says "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me."
This kills me...
...In reality it is jibberish.
The "inscription" reads:ܕ
d
(jibberish)ܨ
ts
(jibberish)ܐ
'(jibberish)ܟܕ
kad(= "when")
ܕ
d
(jibberish)ܙ
z
(jibberish)ܥܐ
`a'
(jibberish)ܟܐ
ka

ܣܐ

You can see why I am distraught...
Please
please please please please, before getting an Aramaic tattoo, send it into
Information@AramaicDesigns.com so it can be double-checked for accuracy. It's an anonymous public service that we offer completely pro-bono, and is also a personal legacy of mine to stop things like this from happening.
Peace,
