        That is where i got it... :-D It is not that i don't trust google... i just wanted to make sure that "family" is really what is seen here. This is for a tatoo... I don't want it to say one thing and be under the assumption that it is saying family and all the arabic people are pointing with laughter knowing that it is saying something completely different :-) Thank you.

          At least now when they are pointing and laughing you know it's not about the tattoo.

            It also depends on where they're pointing. :)

              It says family. Google is usually correct with one word translations. It's sentences that really make things difficult.

                  Why would somebody non-arabic want an arabic symbol tattooed to their skin? If you cant verify what it means yourself, then what meaning does it have to you? Its like people getting chinese characters tattooed because they think it means "love", or "truth" when it actual fact it means, "I am a twat, and I think this symbol looks cool".

                        Same reason non-native people get Chinese, Japanese, hieroglyphics, or any other tattoos on them, for the coolness factor. Personally, I hate tattoos, piercings, and even earrings.

                            I am not the one getting the tatoo. I am mearly helping a friend out. Getting a word tatooed onto your body is not my idea of a good tatoo - especially when it is your name (even if it is in chinese symbols). Why would you want that??? In case you forget what your name is???
