Right, need a few opinions lol.

I would like to get my name tatoo'd on my arm, in Old English. However I am not sure if I should do my name or my nickname

My Name is Rees and my nickname is Reesy,

I must admit they both look nice in Old English but its hard to decide.

Any ideas people?

BillytheImpaler · 31 Jul 2006 at 19:13

Old English in language, script, or both?

Do what you feel best mate..a tattoo like that, you cant really get other peoples opinions on it...Its your body and your name...

What is Rees and Reesy in Old English? It depends what the translation looks like.

Reesy · 31 Jul 2006 at 19:15

Old English Language, you know the font you find on Microsoft Word etc.

So the language or the font? EDIT: I see.

Print out both designs and hang them up on your wall. Keep looking at them until you have made your mind up.

Be careful about getting guys names tatoo'd on your arm

theleg · 31 Jul 2006 at 19:16

Id imagine Rees in old english language would be Rees anyway, seeing as its a name.

If you read the thread, its my name.

da_mic_1530 · 31 Jul 2006 at 19:17

imo itl look ok, just make sure its easily hidden by a shirt etc

i still stand by MY opinion that tattoos and piercings dont suit lads, but make ladies look very nice

Huh?

Old English language:

The Lord's Prayer said:
Fæder ure þu þe eart on heofonum,
Si þin nama gehalgod.
To becume þin rice,
gewurþe ðin willa, on eorðan swa swa on heofonum.
urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us todæg,
and forgyf us ure gyltas, swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum.
and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge, ac alys us of yfele. soþlice.

Do you mean it to read like that? The script is the shape and design of the letters. I have no idea how one would express the name Reesy in the ancient tongue as I'm not a linguistic scholar.

Yeah it is, just the actual design of Old English font's seem better than a plain 'Rees' just tatto'd on my arm.

draw it on in felt tip for a day and see what you think, then add a 'y' the next day to find out which would you prefer to have.

It's the language in which Beowulf was written.

Andr3w · 31 Jul 2006 at 19:40

have your name done,if you dont like it add a "y"

Bumhucker · 31 Jul 2006 at 19:43

Rees. When you're older Reesy might feel a bit silly.

MNuTz · 31 Jul 2006 at 20:12

im just wondering, ive seen a few people with thier name on their arm, but why?

Is it incase you forget your name?

I can understand a loved ones name but your own, just seems pointless to me.

I would get your real name not your nickname.
