I'm going to get "nemo me impune lacessit" tattooed around my arm at the bicep in the Gaelic font with horizontal lines above and below. Just in black.

Cool or stupid?

Bonus points for translation. I know what it means.

off the top o' me head...
no one wounds/harms/attacks me with impunity or without punishment.
If it means something to you, then go for it, but I am guessing you are not Buddhist? lol! I am guessing you will be warning off nerds like me? lol!
Mine says:
ego dilecto meo et dilectus meus... around my fav. and arguably the best Celtic cross in Wales (Nevern) ....
care to try a translationyourself ? (yes i know what it means as well... didn't have google it to check, some people still take Latin classes ...hint... it's Old Test.)

If thats what you want go for it. The only person who truely has to like it is you and it has meaning to you, so thats a huge plus too.

Personally I don't like plain text arm bands, so I would suggest trying to incorporate that phrase with other art, but thats just my two cents on that. Good luck.

looks like everyone knows how to google phrases to translate them - lol...
The idea is cool, especially if it has special meaning...intertwined with a celtic knot arm band it would look really cool.

You could always get the 'Dont Tread On Me" flag on the other arm ;) ...

No one wounds me with impunity...

Sounds pretty cool. Does it have special meaning to you? Definitely a conversation starter at any rate.

No one wounds me with impunity.
Te he, got it off Wikipedia. Okay, it sounds kinda cool, and even a little bit sexy, and it might make you feel sexy for years to come, but when your 70 years old, saggy and wrinkled, you're going to regret it. Try a temporary, then see where you want to go!

Sounds ok but people will be asking what does that mean all the time. But maybe that's what you want. By the way what does that mean?

it sounds like a cool thing
i persoanlly am not a tattoo person cuz i think there a bit trashy
but if its a meaningful slogan
such as this i think
its good
but just remember
ur gonna get old soon
and your skin wont be as firm and great looking
ur tattoo will start looking weird with age
but other than that
it sounds arite
