Latin - Tattoo


Expert: Michael - 11/4/2009

Question
I am joining the military quite soon and i have just had a son. i am getting a tattoo of his hand print and i would also like to have the Latin equivalent to the phrase "together we are invincible" under the handprint. I would really appreciate if you could help me with this. Thank you

Answer
Sorry, I can't get involved with contributing to the dangerous practice of tattooing, which involves unnecessary medical risks.  The inks contain carcinogens like lead and mercury.  Tattooing transmits HIV and Hepatitis C.  These viruses can erupt virulently, or they can lie dormant in the body for twenty or more years after the tattooing incident.  Hepatitis can destroy the liver and thus weaken the body until it dies in agony.  So dangerous is this practice that tattooed individuals cannot give blood so as not to transmit the viruses to others.
