meadish_sweetball Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Since we get an increasing amount of requests about tattoos and how to transcribe names into Thai script, we thought it would be a good idea to gather these queries in one and the same thread (special thanks to mangkorn for the original suggestion). There is already a fair bit of information on this subject scattered over Thaivisa. We will try to link to the most informative threads and posts here as well. If you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to PM me or another Thaivisa moderator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarathi Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I am disappointed not to find lots of pictures of tattoos on naked butts and other areas in this thread Tattoos seem to be popular in Khmer script in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heng Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I remember a gal back in college who thought she had her name written in Chinese characters on the small of her back. When we saw it, we had to tell her nope, what she got was *turtle-storm-woman* And just in case anyone changes their mind after the fact or mispells something.... I recommend Dr. Chanokpon at Yanhee Hospital. She's a whiz with their Nd-Yag laser. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adgroom Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hey guys, I'm living in Phuket and looking to get a tatoo soon.

eefoo Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Great thread! And, what about "Shaun"? ฌอน I see from another thread that the company "Shell" (เชลล์) use ช as their 'sh' sound and not ฌ. Both characters are more a 'ch' as in 'chips' sound than 'sh' as in 'fish' (or indeed Shaun!). Given that ชอน is probably not a good word to have tattooed how about ชอร์น Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thithi Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 i would write as ฌอน ... the ชอน one kinda funny a bit and very simply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AussieGuy83 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I know this must be asked a million times or more times, but can someone help me get a Thai translate for a potential tattoo. I want to get the words "established" and "born", with the numbers “1978” and “1983”. I know the Thai's use the English numeric numbers these days, but does anyone know what the numbers 1983 and 1978 look like in Thai? Cheers heaps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mangkorn Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 Well, he did ask for the A.D. date. But if he really insists on a Thai tattoo, he should surely go with the Buddha, for authenticity... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love = รัก Trust = I'd go with เชื่อใจ but one might make a case for ไว้ใจ or ศรัทธา among a few others Guardian angel = There are many different ways you could go with this. I prefer (เทวดา)อารักษ์ (with or without เทวดา and written either before or after อารักษ์). You might also explore พระภูมี, or เจ้าพ่อ/เจ้าแม่ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
