Need help for tattoo translation!
Hi guys! My friend and I are currently traveling in Cambodia and would really like to get tattoos written in khmer. We want to make sure the translation is correct so we are asking for some help. We would like them to say "Live for adventure " and "escape the ordinary "
Thank you!!
Thank you!!

Those slogans probably won't make any sense in Khmer.

Your post is neither helpful or useful to Ashietabitha's question.Lucky Lucan wrote:Those slogans probably won't make any sense in Khmer.
My advise would be, to have the script read,and re-read by 10 qualified people before having it inked.
You're Embassy in Cambodia will have excellent educated staff that will double check it for free

If I can help prevent people from getting themselves mutilated, I will be helping humanity.

I got twice as many tats than Jamie Lambo,...but hey, im twice his age. Ricecakes is decorated with excellent Khmer body art. I suggest Ashietabitha pm him for details.Lucky Lucan wrote:If I can help prevent people from getting themselves mutilated, I will be helping humanity.
Quite the compliment for Mrs. Ricecakes - hope Mr. Ricecakes doesn't take it as you hitting on her!!Jep wrote:Ricecakes is decorated with excellent Khmer body art.

LL is right.Lucky Lucan wrote:Those slogans probably won't make any sense in Khmer.
You can translate each word but it won’t make sense to a Khmer reader. You would need to make a sentence to explain the notion you are trying to put across. Which kind of defeats the purpose of your concise statements. But saying that, most readers won’t have any idea what it says so you could tell them whatever you want!
So if you really want it, here you go.

2. ខ្ញុំនៅជាមួយមនុស្សម្នាក់ល្ងង់

ជីវិតផ្សងព្រេង is 'adventure life', literally. It was the name of an old Khmer movie or album, I forget which. Some colleagues bought a print for me several years ago as a surprise gift after I talked about translating the word adventure. However, I think the phrase ជីវិតផ្សងព្រេង had some negative connotations, possibly refering to an unfaithful guy or something. Maybe that was the movie script though! Hmm it was too long ago to remember exactly.
Anyway, the translations given by the previous poster are close enough.

One of these days you guys will wake up and realize that getting stupid shit scrawled all over your body is not smart.
No worries if you're a sailor or gangster or some kind of tough nut, but a big issue if you're just some fucking punk kid.
It would cost about $5000 to remove that incomprehensible nonsense, and it would definitely leave a mark and possibly
result in skin cancer. Laser removals aren't safe.

haha tbh ive had some laser treatment done, my tattooist used to do it, its not as expensive as it used to be, would probs cost about £50-100 to get some writing removed no dramas, definitely not £5000 lol
