I suffer chronic pain and have been dealt some pretty rough cards at times in my life. I have a tattoo in Arabic wrapped around my forearm, just below the elbow, that translates to "The Strength and the courage". I don't care if someone else likes it or not, and when I am 80, the tattoo will have even more truth to it.
Funny thing: People come up to me and its always the same: "Thats cool. Is that...Arabic?" "Yes." "Oh. What does it mean?" On that last question, they sound nervous. Many Americans think Arab = terrorist, I guess theyre worried I have secret A
queda code on my arms! I told a coworker I'm going to start saying it means "Die American Infidel!"
