Tattoo, "Give Me Strength" in Latin...spelling?

Question

I want to get a tattoo with the words "Give Me Strength" written in Latin. I want to know how to say it and spell it, CORRECTLY. Also some sort of symbol or sign to go with it....Egyptian, Greek, or something like that. I have an open mind for suggestions.

Answer 1

It really depends on what kind of strength - there are several words in Latin that fit. The general construction would be:

XXXXX me concede. Thar means 'Grant me XXXXX'.

The X's should be replaced by:

Virtutem = Strength in the sense of power, bravery, virtue.
Fortitudinem = Strength in the sense of courage, valor.
Virem = Strength in the sense of physical strength.

The last part is pronounced 'may con-KAY-day' - Latin c's were all 'k' sounds.

Virtutem = wer-TOO-tem
Fortitudinem = for-tee-TOO-din-em
Virem = WER-em.

Answer 2

Nah, would never get tattooed. Once you've worked in a nursing home and seen the ole wrinkled up skin with Tattoos you wouldn't either. I would not do piercings either I think it is too weird to do that to yourself, plus risk infections. My friends have been missionaries for a long time. When they first went to another part of the world the people had tattoos, earrings that made their ears large, plates in the lips, etc. When they came back here the people here had some of it. They went back to that country and the people had become Christians and cleaned everything up and wore business suits to the cities to work. They would just throw their big ear lobes behind and continue on. lol my how things change huh. Mmm
