Latin Phrases

[RikRaeder]

It occurs to me, where are you getting this tattoo anyway? Some of these phrases seem to need a full-body wraparound. Maybe two or three Latin words...kind of like a motto?

 

[hdtran]

Ubi subi ubi

(where under where; say it quickly )

 

[Trinigordo]

Tempus fugit - Time flies

Carpe Diem - Sieze the day

Tauraus excretum por infinitum - Bull***** forever

 

[GIFCo147]

Semper ubi sub ubi
Always wear underwear. (Do you dive in a drysuit?)

 

[usnadiver03]

The est and est are not necessary (implied) so:

"qua mare, mea libertate"

My latin is also fairly rusty, but hey, you could be getting what you think is a really cool chinese symbol for strength and it actually says "little girly man"

Have fun...

where the sea is, there is my freedom:

qua mare est, libertas mea est


my heart belongs to the sea:

pectus meus mare illa


my latin translation is very rusty. take these with a grain of salt.

 

[David P]

The most important phrase
Adonde es el banjo?

The most favorite to hear
ey papi!

 

[Dave Zimmerly]

"De Gustibus non Disputandum"

There's no accounting for taste.
