Meaning of the "God is my judge" tattoo
And although religion refers to tattoos very ambiguously, personal drawings on the theme of faith have always been and remain in fashion. If we talk about such tattoos in the form of inscriptions, the most popular is: "God is my judge", or its variant in English: "only god can judge me". The meaning of the tattoo "God is my judge" is obvious, but also multifaceted.
In general, tattoos on religious topics can be divided into two categories. The first - pictures with the image of God, Jesus or saints, as well as various symbols (for example - a cross). The second category - is the inscriptions with the corresponding meaning.
The meaning of the tattoo with the inscription "Only God is my judge", of course - faith in God. An atheist is unlikely to put such an inscription on his skin. So we can definitely say about the owner of this tattoo that he is a person of faith. However, the connotation of the inscription is somewhat aggressive. Or rather, not even aggressive, but - self-confident. The man clearly shows that he doesn't need anyone's advice and always knows himself how to act. Judgment or assessment by others he does not accept. Such a person is self-confident and always does what he or she thinks is right. As a rule, such an inscription printed men with a very strong, strong-willed character. With the owner of this tattoo is better not to argue, and to spite him fraught with danger. Most of all, the tattoo "God is my judge" is common among athletes, namely - fighters and boxers. Because they are the ones with the appropriate character.
A very common variant of this inscription in English is "only god can judge me. However, these days, almost everyone knows English, so if you want the meaning of your inscription was not so obvious, and more hidden - it is better to choose another language.
For example, very interesting and not so clear to others will be the same inscription, but in Latin: "Deus solus me iudicare potest". The meaning of this tattoo remains the same, but not everyone will be able to immediately understand it after reading it on your skin.
For the same purpose, you can choose any other language, such as German - "Nur Gott kann mich beurteilen", or Italian - "solo Dio pu? giudicarmi". By the way, in German this phrase is preferred by representatives of radical political and nationalist views. A variant in Italian evokes associations with the Italian mafia.
Places for tattoos
On the first place in popularity for the location of the text are considered the forearms. The letters are beaten along the line of the radius on the back side. Less commonly, the letters are arranged in a composition on the inside of the forearm.

Large-scale tattoos can be let down along the side line with the transition to the hips. An example of such a tattoo is the work on the body of 26-year-old Instagram star Naz Mila.
