Arabic tattoos are definitively in fashion in the world of the rich and the famous. And I don’t mean temporary tattoos done with henna. This is perhaps surprising, because there are hardly any tattoos to be seen in the Arab World. In the West, however, tattoos have come a long way from the time when they were essentially associated with sailors and soldiers. Nowadays, having a permanent inking on your skin is no longer a sign of low class.
Recently, celebrities like actress Angelina Jolie, football player Zlatan Ibrahimović, and pop star Rihanna have been getting Arabic phrases and words tattooed on their bodies. But, do they really know the meaning of the words they are eternalizing on their skin? Let’s take a look at the tattoos and their meanings:
Angelina Jolie: the firm will
First off is Angelina Jolie who it seems has already filled every inch of her skin with some writing or other. Her latest addition is this Arabic tattoo:
Angelina Jolie's Arabic Tattoo
Taking a closer look we can make out the Arabic word العزيمة (al-‘azeema), meaning “the determination” or “the firm will” on her right forearm. Jolie certainly strikes me as a woman who knows what she wants – so it seems that this tattoo is quite fitting. However, the word can also mean “the incantation” or “the spell”.
While the Arabic script chosen for the tattoo is pretty plain, Angelina (or one of her assistants) has at least done enough research to ensure that the word is spelled correctly – no slipups here.
Zlatan Ibrahimović
Moving on to Zlatan Ibrahimović, the top football player:
Zlatan Ibrahimović's Arabic Tatoo
For those learning Arabic, the tattoo might be pretty confusing. Fear not, the solution is simple: the inscription is simply a transliteration of Ibrahimović’s surname – in Arabic إبراهيموفيج (ibraaheemoofeedj).
Since the Arabic letters don’t correspond one-to-one with our English letters, the tattooist (or someone who speaks fluent Arabic) had to choose something that is as close as possible to the actual pronunciation of the name Ibrahimović. For example, there is no “v” in the Arabic alphabet. The next best thing is the “f” sound.
Maybe the egocentricity demonstrated by Ibrahimović’s choice of word is not to everyone’s taste. But, at least the tattoo is spelled and written correctly.
Rihanna
Finally, let’s see what singer Rihanna has engraved on her waste:
Rihanna's Arabic Tattoo
The Arabic reads الحرية في مسيح (al-horriya fi maseeh), or in English “the freedom in Messiah”. Huh? Seems like Rihanna is quite a religious one, but why hide the message of salvation in Arabic rather than show it off to her (supposedly) bigger English-speaking audience? Perhaps her religious convictions are more of a private thing for her after all?
Well, be that as it may. What is certain, is that the phrase should have read correctly الحرية في المسيح (al-horriya fi al-maseeh), or “the freedom in the Messiah”. Not all is lost, though, since there still is ample space to insert the Arabic article AL before the word Messiah. So, Rihanna, another visit to the tattooist?
If you want to follow the celebrities’ example and get an Arabic tattoo yourself, then make sure that you know exactly the meaning of the words you are engraving for life. Better yet, why not learn the Arabic alphabet yourself so that you can be sure that the words are written correctly?

Hi i was wondering if you could send me a picture of “The Determination” in different fonts so i could take a proper look at it! I am thinking of getting this as a tattoo but i dont want to make any mistakes?!? Thanks very much xx
Hi Rachel!
You can find the picture containing “the determination” in different fonts in the comments section of my post here.
Enjoy!
Hi I wanted to get a tattoo in arabic script saying “BELOVED”……can you help me with that?
Hi Milena this is beloved in arabic just copy and paste it into wordpad and change the font to something bigger and you can have a good look at it الحبيب
Thanks for trying to help out Dean! However, I would like to point out that “beloved” has more than one translation. The one you gave – الحبيب – translates as “the beloved” and often has a religious meaning to it as a honorific title of the Prophet of Islam Muhammad. Other variations such as حبيبي (“my beloved/darling” for a man) and حبيبتي (“my beloved/darling” for a woman) might be better suited in some cases. If “beloved” is used as an adjective in conjunction with something else, it’s also possible to use محبوب (for a man) or محبوبة (for a woman).
Additionally, it’s not a good idea to simply copy and paste Arabic text if you aren’t familiar with the Arabic alphabet and have ensured that your PC can handle the Arabic script properly.
There are 6 designs each for the male and female version of “my darling” in my Arabic Tattoos eBook and 4 designs each for “beloved”. There are also designs included for “my beloved husband” and “my beloved wife” as well as 3 designs each for “beloved of my heart”.
Can anyone help with the translation for “Just Breath” as in to take a breath.
مجرد التنفس would this be correct and is any other ways that it could be understood?
So I wanted to just find the arabic translation and writing for “Free Spirited” or “hope.” Ive found a few translations for these but i wanted to make sure they are correct.
i want one that goes kind of similar to “posh’s”. the one that goes down her neck, but is it correct? someone contact me?
thanks.
ArabicGenie: I removed your e-mail address from this comment. Otherwise you might receive a lot of spam e-mails in the future.
MDR, are you referring to Victoria Beckham (“Posh Spice”)? I’ve taken a look at her tattoo that goes down the neck and to me it looks like Hebrew not Arabic. Or were you referring to someone else?

Hello Arabic Genie, one of my friends here in Mexico found this tattoo that she would like to get, but dooesn’t know the meaning. Could you please help? The text is أمي قلبي
Hi Rakesh! The Arabic text you provide is:
أمي قلبي
which translates as “my mother, my heart” or “my mother is my heart”, meaning that the speaker’s mother is very dear to him/her.
“there is a light that never goes out ; would this be it ? هناك ضوء أبدا أن يخرج
Hi there, I am looking to have “Grace” as in Grace of God tattoed in Arabic. I seem to have found a million variations. Grace of God seems easier to find and I wouldnt mind that if it is less likely to be the wrong context. Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Hi Christine! I recently did a blog post about “compassion” in Arabic. As it so happens, that same Arabic word I chose also means “grace”, as in grace of God. You can find the blog post with three designs for the word here. If you require more choice, better quality and a pronunciation guide, then please consider ordering a custom tattoo design.
meagain , I believe that translation is more an art than just a word by word transformation , in Arabic the term ” light goes out ” does not Exist i the exact wording , yet the translation comes from the understanding of what you want to translate .
Example ” there is a light that never goes out ” = ” there is a light that never Fade” = هنالك دائما ضوء لا يخبو ابدأً
note if this is a verse from a relegues script such as ” Quran, Bible,Tora” it is better that you take if from the Fully translated script itself ..
Yours
Abdulrahman
Hi~ I’m thinking about getting a tatto in Arabic. What would be the best way to say “Let there be freedom”? Thanks!
hey.. can anyone help me with my name in arabic letters for my tattoo?
“ANGELIN”
thanks !
hi there Angelin
since there is a kind of more vowel sounds in English than the Arabic you can write your name on both ways :
آنجلن
or
آنجلين
i go with the second one .good luck.
grace , you can say ” أعطني حريتي ”
which is more like ” let me free ”
but what makes it used a lot commonly that because of it’s a part of an old poem and a famous 60′s revolutionary song ,,
أعطني حـريّتي
أطلق يديّ
let me free
unlock my cuffs
hope you also considering the symbols above the letters cuz they are important some times with how the sounds are pronounced

Hello! Love this site. I was just wondering if you can translate three words for me? It’s “belive” – not believe in god. (belive in myself) , the second word is “want” like (if i want something i can get it all I need is the willingness to try) and the last word is “dare” – If I have a wish or a will, I can manage it by daring to believe in myself.
I will tattoo those three words in my neck on my eighteenth birthday, those words means alot to me and i just love the arabic alphabet and words.
I would like a translation please faith, courage, strength
Hi Refiole!
You can find designs for all three of these words in my Arabic Tattoos eBook.
@Refiloe
إيمان، شجاعه، قوه
This is not quite right Mu7ha. The last two words should end in a taa’ marbooTa:
شجاعة
قوة
Also, it would be better to use the definite article al in front of the words, as we are talking about general concepts here.
Could you give me the phrase ” what comes around goes around” in arabic please? Thank you

The 2 names are Abigail and Samuel. Would really appreciate a seperate confirmation from you before I go to the artist.
Thanks in advance
Hi Simon!
The most common translation for “Abigail” would be:
أبيجيل
And for Samuel:
صامويل
Note, though that there are other alternative translations that are also in use for those two names. If you want me to create a tattoo design for the two names, please see this page here.

Helloo!

Hi would you please translate my name ‘Kim’ please? Thanks
I think it would be interesting if you did a blog post about successful, correct Arabic tattoos to show people that if they are patient and research the accurate meaning/spelling of the words they will be extremely satisfied in the end. I have an Arabic tattoo that is 100% accurate which I absolutely love. When I see these pictures of these horribly executed tattoos, it makes me that much more thankful. If you were ever thinking of doing something like this and wanted to a picture of my tattoo, I would love to share it.
hi jay i’m syrian so i speak arabic very well and i can help u jorden is جوردن in arabic and emmeley is إيميلي as for kim it’s كيم and i’m sure 300% so if anybody has a question about translating just send me an email at ArabicGenie: E-mail address removed for your own protection. and i’ll be glad to help coz arabic is my native languege

Many Thanks
I’m an Arab.
I’m not into tattoos really, anyways, you are missing something here, you are trying so hard to translate English phrases to Arabic and most of times it doesn’t fit or show up in poor structure. Think the other way. Find someone who can provide with you phrases that are famous and well pharsed in Arabic culture and see the meaning in English.
For example:
مجنون ليلى
meaning” The one who’s crazy about Layla” /”Mad about Layla” very known romance character in Arabic history pretty much similar to Romeo the lover boy. Yeah and he’s a man so it wouldn’t fit 4 girls putting this one one. It best fit if your love is called Layla or Lila.
quick examples:
Peace be upon you السلام عليكم
ملكة سبأ Queen of Sheba
الحب الحقيقي Ture love
الأدهم name of a famous dark horse in Arabic literature.
الخيل والليل والبيداء تعرفني very famous poem starting line meaning “Horses, night and desert know me”
زرقاء اليمامة “Blue eyes of Yamama” a legendary woman in Arabic myth claimed to have the ability of seeing people as far as 3 days walking distance from her point of contact.
That’s it a toul alors! : )
If you want you can have my e-mail (it’s ok to share it websie Admin : ))and I’ll be happy to help.
Adel, welcome to my blog. I agree that often translations are somewhat awkward. This is especially true in the case of automatic machine translations such as those by google translate. Which is why it’s so important to have a real person do the translation. As for getting tattoos based on Arabic literature, poetry or folklore, I think it’s a great idea. However, it presupposes a solid understanding of Arab culture and will therefore only be an option for a few. In my book I have included a large number of tattoo designs that are based on expressions used in Arabic. Other expressions have been translated from English, but are readily understood in Arabic and don’t sound awkward.
hi could you please translate for me “life is too short to be scared” thank you

hey victoria ,, it’s
أمشي بلا خوف
=)
Victoria, please see my Arabic Tattoo Design service for custom translations and designs.
Louise, to get vertical writing you will need to rotate the Arabic writing by 90° counter-clockwise. This way the connectedness of the letters is preserved. Most Arabic letters are connected to each other, regardless of whether they are written by hand or in print. This is why it would be uncharacteristic to write the letters separately from each other one above the other…
i need somebody to translate “family is a heaven in a heartless world”
Hello! Could you please translate the names Fatima and Nowreen and the words Mother and Sisters for me? Or better yet, I want a tattoo of a phrase that shows my love for my mother and sisters.

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO TRANSLATE “SINS OF THE FLESH” IN ARABIC PLEASE.
Sara, not quite sure if that sentence makes a lot of sense. Literally it says: “On the world you are maybe only one person, but for me you were in the world.” The second part could also read “but for me I was in the world”. In either case this sounds quite strange. Is it something you translated yourself into Arabic?
Estella, please don’t write in all caps here. Regarding your question, please refer to my Arabic Tattoo design service. Thanks.

Hi,
I’d like to hire you to make me a personal Arabic tattoo design but before I do so, I want to check a few things. Do you make different designs on the computer or do you write them yourself? I’d like to have my daughter’s name Zara tattooed on my wrist and I know how to spell it (زهرة, flower Zahrah) but am too scared to make a stencil myself and am not happy with this computer version. I have also had some native speakers write it for me + I’ve had it engraved on a ring in Tunisia, I still haven’t found a version that would fit on my wrist but isn’t too simple, eg. my Iraqi friend has given me this really ornate version that wouldn’t work on my wrist as it’s too detailed whereas some other simpler versions are not precise enough. Anyways, how do you do it? Thanks a lot
Can someone translate “I am me”?
hello
!

Hi Carol. There are three different tattoo designs for “seize the day” and six different designs for “destiny” in the Arabic Tattoos eBook.
hello,
i was wondering if you could give me a translation for ‘ wake your dreams ‘.
Online translaters give you dodgy font also so i was wondering if you could find a nice one for me, i can’t find a way of putting the two together.
Please and thankyou x.
hi, is this إن شاء الله, the correct way of writing Inshallah?

Hey, can you tell me how it’s spelled, “Susana Emmanuel”
This is truly awful. Hundreds of people want to get a tattoo in a language they can’t even read, or understand. Embarrassing. Why not just go with your native language? A serious question!
@Sara: As long as people make sure to get the correct translation for their Arabic tattoo I think it’s perfectly acceptable.

“This is truly awful. Hundreds of people want to get a tattoo in a language they can’t even read, or understand. Embarrassing. Why not just go with your native language? A serious question!”,, I totally agree.
Okay when chinese words were the hit we understood but now people actually say bad stuff about arabs; they hate their lives, their religions, and so on.
The most fashionable tattoos worn by rich and famous people are in arabic. How come? LOL that’s so sad.. Don’t you people have your own language? Aren’t you proud of your native language? HAHA!

Hello..
@bailey the first one should be يمكن لجميع احلامنا ان تتحقق, اذا كانت لدينا الشجاعة لملاحقتها
the second one is good
@Patrick Abde.. you got it right.
@TattoGirl you… it is the proper way to say that.

To whomever wrote the article. Rihanna is not religious, in fact she is anti-religious. She is referring to al-maseeh ad-dajjaal who will set her free. She will add the Al when he appears. So I agree with you on this one, she will need another visit to the tattoo shop.
PS Google Rihanna subliminal messages

Apologies if I missed it but does anyone know what Hashish is in arabic?
Hi!! Could you translate the following for me in Arabic “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in him I will trust. He shall cover you with his feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge”
Its a few verses from Psalm 91
if you would like a second opinion on arabic tattoo translation, hit me up
and to john: hashish originally means GRASS, but it is also street languange for marijuana in most arabic countries…
Hello

Hello I was wondering if you could translate “love” for me
@Duraid Dalli – Apologies I know what it means I was after it in arabic, I’ll give it a couple of days and if I dont hear off you on here I’ll email you, thanks.
I hate when celebrities jump on ethnic heritages like it’s the latest craze. And for those of you wanting Arabic tattoos, I know I might get a lot of hate for this, but unless you are familiar with the culture, the language, or it means something to you to personally to have something done in Arabic, please don’t get it. It’s not some pretty cursive, it is a language with an ancient history, customs, and represents a large ethnic population and an even larger religious population. And please refrain from religion based tattoos in Arabic. I’m pretty sure the Bible, and definitely the Quran, frown on such things, so I would NEVER get anything like “Allah” (swt) or “Prophet” or anything even remotely similar to that.
