6 Hilarious Pics That Prove You Should NOT Use Google Translate For Tattoos

Avatar

If you’re looking to get some ink that speaks to you on a personal level but are not too familiar with the language, we’d recommend you stay away from Google Translate. 

A great tool for getting the gist of a language you absolutely don’t understand, Google Translate has been known to fail to see the finer, more contextual parts of translation. 

And that’s what happened with these 8 examples:

1. When you wanna translate your last name to Russian using Google Translate and end up with this.. 

It says “No Translation”, by the ways.

2.  When Hebrew tats go totally wrong 

This lovely lady wanted to write “I love…” then her boyfriend’s name.. unfortunately she used Babylon’s Translator Software and guess what it actually reads instead?

“Babylon is the world’s leading dictionary and translation software”

That happened.
