This is the third of my archangel series. I absolutely love doing these things. It's just so epic and at the same such a beautiful imagery to do. It pumps me up doing things that involve strength and power, and triumph over evil. It reminds me so much of when I was a little kid watching Superman or Captain American defeat the bad guys. Only here, Im actually the one creating that scenery. Anyway, this is a fantasy-inspired St. Michael, which you can see that he's hooded and the design of his armor, and he's about to thrust  his sword to flailing demons. I wanted to create a very dark surrounding so that it gives me the opportunity to play with bright lights coming from the back of the angel so it highlights him up close. I thought I captured the overall atmosphere of the design. If only this was a full-sleeve, I have some epic ideas on how to continue this. :))

Today's victim meant well. He wanted the names of his kids tattooed in Hebrew on his belly, probably even asked a native speaker for advice...


Too bad his tattoo was translated by a moron.

Funny really, we've got two names, Michaela and Trevor. Trevor (on the bottom) is a name that has nothing to do with Hebrew, yet it is perfectly written. Michaela (on top), on the other hand, is a proper Hebrew name, but was mangled beyond recognition.

The problem with a name like Michaela, is that you never know how to pronounce it. In Hebrew, Michaela is pronounced as mi-khah-EH-lah. In English, the standard seems to be mi-KAY-lah.

It's a confusing name! I wouldn't even blame the hapless translator, except his result is absolutely appalling. It reads mi-tchah-eh-lah, sounds a bit like Mitchell, and has an extra Aleph just for kicks. This error is one only a native Hebrew speaker with spotty knowledge of English will make.

Now, if you don't want to be fouled by phonetics too, pay attention. This is how you write Michaela in Hebrew:


The top is Michaela with the Hebrew pronunciation. The bottom is the English pronunciation, and it can be used for all related spellings, such as McKayla, Mikayla, Makayla and so on.

There's a lesson to be learned here. When getting a name translated to Hebrew, do tell your translator what it's supposed to sound like!

Hi Tian, I have always wondered what this tattoo really says. 

It's supposed to be the initials "S M S". 

Something tells me that it does not. Id love it if you could clear this up for me finally!



Another sucker of the gibberish font.

Today's feature is the classic mistake. The amateur Hebrew linguist might get their wording right, but forget that Hebrew is a language written left to right... This might be the result:



The tattoo says "Faith" in Hebrew, or at least attempts to. It is in fact written backwards.

So, is a backwards faith still faith, or would it mean the opposite of faith on the spiritual level? You know, like Satanists who use inverted crosses as their symbol?

Want Hebrew "Faith" of your own? How about a T-Shirt?

So this share Make me almost know more even if i is newbie in this case

Today's victim thinks he has the name "Patrick" tattooed in Hebrew on his arm. He is quite wrong.


This Hebrew tattoo says "Nadav", which is a common enough biblical guy name.

The name Nadav means Generous, Noble.
The name Patrick means Patrician, Nobleman.

But you can see the overlap, you say?

That apparent overlap is false, because the noble in "Nadav" is that of "noble deeds" rather than "an aristocrat" as in "Patrick".

This transformation of Patrick into Nadav is so loose, it can be barely traced. So you see, this guy is walking around with someone else's name permanently etched into his arm.

This is how you write "Patrick" in Hebrew, not translated, but as is:
