No, it's "what man is a man who does not make the world better?"

It doesn't come out well translating back into English, that's why I said not to use a translator :)

It translates perfectly actually i just mucked up the copy and pasting because it they write back to front.

Surely a more blunt version would be more powerful such as

A man who does not make the world better is no man.
 
Actually, that's rather good

الرجل الذي لا يجعل العالم أفضل الحرام.

I'm not sure now, I want to stick with the quote from my grandfather, but that is a much more powerful message! Cheers mate :)

Edit: pics of my existing ones

IIRC it's quite a famous quote, why would you muck it up? :p
 
^ lol :)

I'm also thinking about getting a banksy style thing on my back. An adult holding a child's hand, walking off into a sunset on a battlefield, with the kid saying "someday, I will change the world".

No idea how much it would cost but in full colour could look quite good :)
 
First one straight after having it done.

And the second. Not finished yet, still got some colour to be put in :)

It is already shaded, I was just using a poor quality camera. As it happens I left my job and am having trouble finding a new one, so it could be a while before it's finished!

And thank you!
 
No the photo is fine, I was just an idiot. I got one as well but it's black and grey, it has no eyeball either.
 
Anyone have any ideas on a star to go on my shoulder, above this:

Yes, I know that stars are stars and generally quite common but that's what is wanted, just struggling to find anything that inspires me that goes with the other tat :(
 
I did realise you were only other person to notice so far, if I want I could just get aces in the other corners.

But to be honest I'm not that bothered about it.
 
Looking at getting my first tattoo, have been looking for a while at designs and have shopped this up from a couple of favourites, it would be different but this is the colour and general theme, and yes its big for a first tatoo but if I'm going to get one done, it had better be a good one :D
