Okay, this one actually makes me feel bad. I hate the thought that some well-meaning Marines have (semi-)permanently scarred themselves with something nonsensical:
It’s supposed to say, “Father and Son: Brothers Forever.” Of course it really says “Father and Growth: Brother! Endlessness!”
(Punctuation added, of course, for emphasis.)
NOTE: I know that natus (2nd declension) can mean son (or at least man-child), but why not use filius? I think it’s funnier this way (4th declension).
NOTE: After more than three years, I can no longer afford to give away free translations or free advice for Latin tattoos. Please use the ‘Contact Us’ link (above) rather than blog comments (now closed on this post), and make a PayPal donation (the link may be found in the page footer).
