Stumbling upon a tattoo in a foreign language can be a very intriguing experience.
If you’ve ever wondered what someone has written on his or her body,
but didn’t ask, here you’ll find a list of 6 different Hebrew tattoo
meanings, along with the photographs of the actual tattoos.

1.
I can do all things through him – This is a variation of the phrase “I can do all things through Christ” which appears in Philippians 4:13.

2.
Hephzibah – This is a Biblical Hebrew name, which also literally means “I want/desire her”.

3.
Strength – A simple, one-word tattoo
that is made even shorter due to the use of nikkud – those dots that
you can notice around the letters. Without nikkud, this tattoo would
have 4 letters, rather than only 3, as in the picture.

4.
Love is life
– Straight and to the point, this tattoo, although using nikkud, would
consist of the same letters even if nikkud was not applied here.

5. This tattoo reads the word “
Binyamin” which is the Hebrew Biblical origin of the common name “Benjamin”.
When choosing to tattoo a name in Hebrew, you should be aware that
only a professional translator can explain the differences between
writing the name as you pronounce it and using the Hebrew origin. There
can certainly be different Hebrew tattoo meanings – depending on the
option that you choose.

6.
He has risen
– This tattoo also means “resurrected”, and is a beautiful example of a
Hebrew tattoo combined with a Christian symbol. While there is a
genuine question whether there is such a thing as a “Christian Hebrew
tattoo”, this tattoo, if such a category exists, would definitely be
included.
