Bad Hebrew Lettering Tattoos 3
By Ben Mordechai
Freedom or Vacation
This tattoo is a tribal style dove with a Hebrew word Chafooshea, written underneath it in a classical Hebrew lettering font. The word is supposed to be Choofsha or freedom in English . The entire tattoo is proablly themed FREE BIRD. The dots underneath the Hebrew letters are vowel markings called nekudot which tell the reader how to exactly pronounce the word; Choofsha or freedom. But this tattoo has incorrect markings which make it spell Chafooshea, which is a non existant Hebrew word, it’s gibberish. It will have to be laser removed if it even can be. The word on the right of the photo is how the dots are supposed to be. This is another example correctly pointed out by Prof. Williams.
But with that critical matter out of the way we still have to consider the aesthetic of the tattoo, was it designed and rendered well? Does it look good? This tattoo does not look too good, the dove’s shading in between the lines is wierd and awkward and the lettering is faded to shite and to top it off, it is gibberish!

awh that sucks i want to get a hebrew tatto but i dnt want it to be speeled wrong maybe ill got to the libray and check a hebrew book out
You Jews only cause trouble in the world. I hate working for Jews and niggers.
if you want a hebrew tatoo make sure you spell it right.
and don’t forget – hebrew is read right to left!
yeah so that’s me! a friend of mine directed me here. oops! it was my first tattoo, what can i say?
i’ve had plans for some time now to have it altered in some way to correct the mistake. what really stinks about it is that i went back to my original source for the hebrew, and it was correct. somewhere in my own design process i goofed it up!
and freebird? i’m a little offended by that one
here’s the theme as i designed it: the dove represents the holy spirit, and with (what i thought was) “freedom” written below, it was supposed to represent how we’ve been freed from the bondage of sin through salvation.
thanks for pointing out my error, though! (how hard would life be if you can’t laugh at yourself, right?)
Tattoos Ideas? Really?…
