Now I will wonder the same thing about Hebrew tattoos. XD

Earlier in the evening I was discussing tattoos with my grandmother and little brother, and this very topic came up. I was actually going to post something similar in the morning, but not with pictures, great touch!

I hate when an acquaintance comes up to me wanting to show off their new nifty (misspelled) Hebrew tattoo; because I am faced with a moral dilemma. Do I tell this person that the resh was supposed to be a dalet? Do I tell them that they meant to have a hey instead of the het? Or do I smile and say, “nice tat”! Sadly, I usually say, “nice tat”, and laugh when I get home!

Thanks for the laugh
Adam
