Stupid question here but why would you want your own name tattooed in thai on yourself????? In case you get alzheimers and forget who you are?  Secondarily it's bad luck to tattoo a name

Tattoos, in general, can be regretted in later life. Who says it's bad luck?

I would never get my name tattooed on myself, but would by wife or daughters. Not my mother's, whose name is Barbara!

Hi

Looks like an old thread - but still active.

 

Am interested in having daughter's names translated. Intention is for a tattoo. 

 

Leila is the first (pronounced ley-la).  It looks like there is a 'Leila Amulets' jewelry brand in Thailand so hoping there is a possible translation. I am concerned about the L as I don't think this converts well?

 

Phoebe is the second name (pronounced phe-be / fe-be)

 

It would be great if Holly could also be translated (pronounced Hol-ee)

 

Appreciate Google Translate can do this nowadays - but would rather not rely on that.  

 

Many thanks in advance

There is a famous actress called but pronounces Lie la : ไลลา 

Sorry, can't write Thai on my new computer yet.

I knew a tattoo artist in the US Army, he was a draftee,  would practice on himself.  Once he tatooed his social security number inside his bottom lip in a mirror.........backwards.   Ouch, that must have hurt, before his duty was up, he had tattooed the entire USA Map on his tongue, top & bottom..............what talent................or not...............Peace

I've been thinking .of getting my nic tattooed in thai but worried that they might stuff it up and / or take the piss
