I'm pretty sure it's Greek. Threw me for a minute as its back to front, but then I realised the pic was probably taken in a mirror! But I'm afraid I don't read Greek! :(

This a picture from Facebook of the thug that punched my son for no reason. I havn't published his head. I would like to know what his tattoo says and means.

If we all have a go we might be able to make out the letters and then get a translation?

Lots of heads probably better than one or two. If it isn't a standard sort of thing there may be a record somewhere.

Best I can do so far and lots missing - even what I have could well be incorrect. The question mark means a character or characters I can't make out.

Now it's reversed I can see it's not Greek. Any idea what nationality the guy is? I can't make out enough letters to translate any other words but one looks like 'mamag' which means 'light' in Cebuano, which is a Language from the Phillippines.

Hi Gerri

I am not sure what nationality he is. I thought he was English as his family have owned a local business for many years.

I am just really curious as he is posing showing it off on Facebook.

I've just sent a copy of the pic to my Samoan rugby pal. He's from New Zealand so may be able to recognise it. He's playing in Japan now so may take a while to get a reply due to the time difference but I'm sure he'll help if he can. X

I agree, I think it's Maori. Been on google translate and recognises more words in Maori than anything else. As a tattoo it could be wrong unless everyone concerned fluent in Maori. Bearing in mind who it's on my best guess is that it says ....

Got it to this which it obviously not right but there are a few letters on the tattoo I can't really make out:

ko TE PONO ro Kei ki TE Umere
TE KATOa Ki TE Toko o i a kOE
kOE nOA ka ka TE kitea e a
hunga utu mamae hoa

The truth is back to shouting
All welfare of you
you simply will not find a
those with cost

If you play around with it on Google Translate changing around the letters that aren't clear in the picture you can get some other meanings but none of them make any more sense.

As Allen says unless who ever did it can speak Maori there's no reason to think it says anything intelligible anyway.

Is it by any chance the new Zealand rugby chant before a game????
That;s a good idea Pat..... I am attaching link to same but feel a bit guilty as I don't want to link good sportsmen to somebody who was anything BUT. Somebody who is a COWARDLY MINDLESS SCUMBAG.

I can't pick up on whether it matches the writing but some of you may be able to ...

I'm sorry:(

Can we just agree it reads I am a f'ing C***?

My best wishes to you both and your son.
