Prof. Tyler Williams who is the Chair of the Religion & Theology Department and Assistant Professor of Old Testament/Hebrew Bible at Taylor University College in Edmonton, Alberta, correctly notes on his website about the tattoo on the left's error. This tattoo incorrectly reads Elohis written / tattooed vertically instead of Elohim, which is one of the names of God written in the Torah. The correction is not too serious and all the tattoo artist would need to do to fix this is square off the bottom and sides of the bottom letter . But with that critical matter out of the way we still have to consider the aesthetic of the tattoo, was it designed and rendered well? Does it look good? And this tattoo on the left does not look good, it looks like utter shite! And if you are going to get a shite tattoo, do not do it with Gods name! The spacings (kerning) between the letters are terrible! Was this person a midget in size thus forcing it to be pressed together? (I do not know the proper, new politically correct name for midgets, sorry.) Also the width of the letters is totally inconsistent in each letter and the second letter from the top, the Lamed, is huge! This is a really bad tattoo and the fact that it is of the name of god and in Hebrew no less, just cooks my noodles. ###END### |
