the statement is strong enough on its own if done in a nice scriopt.. ๐
What do you suggest? just remove the barbed wire and leave the text alone?
I am glad to help – you also helped me I got a new modern latin to english dictionary as well as I realised that mine is about 30 years old and was obviously missing some words.
I found the acta non verba – they meant verba in terms of a strong words (tongue lashing) (verbatum etc).
Bloody thing didn’t show up in my Greek dictionary either on the root so will update that as well.
Anyhow I think you will have a great tattoo and post up pics when done.
Take care

thank you, I’ve been toying around with this idea for a while as I stated above… And yes I will post pictures once I get it done, which will be in around six months since I want to be sure that I really liked the design.
The idea concept is fine and any professional artist will be able to shape it better you just need to be able to relate the design to them.
My advice is to have the barb wire slightly more slender so that it can flow through O of non and maybe wrap a little around the edges of the letters before twisting away across your arm.
You could also have it slightly bloodied so it looks like it is penetrating the flesh or appearing from beneath the skin.
I am wondering what does the statement Acta Non Verba mean ? (I am an info collecting nut) ๐
