I want to get a tattoo that says "Free of my past" on my foot...and I would like it in latin. I would use a translation site but I don't really trust those to be accurate. Does anyone speak latin and can translate for me? Thanks so much!

Liberata praeteriti mei.

Liberated from my past.

That's for a female. A male would use 'Liberatus'.

Watch out for answers from online translators - you are right that they cannot be trusted.

ADDED: The plural is often used to express the past as a series of individual events; however, in the sense it is used here, the singular seems preferred.

Aliquem venia in preateritum donare = To grant any one an indemnity for the past. Suetonius.

solutus praeteritorum meorum
soluta praeteritorum meorum

When you speak of the past in Latin, the plural is often used, so that is why I said praeteritorum

In Latin as in any language, there is often more than one way to say something.

Solutus (soluta for a woman) is free in the sense of untied from, not under the control of something.

Liber (libera for a woman) is free as in not a slave, and also used in the general sense of liberty.

The site I use to translate diff. languages for me said your translation would be:
Solvo of meus preteritus

But I would also get a dictionary that translates each word to verify this 100% before you get it tattooed. Or go to your local high school Latin teacher and ask them to verify if its correct.
