troy8 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 just out of curiosity, i was wondering does anybody on the forum have an everton tattoo? or considered getting one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy the blue Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) I hate tattoo's, there is nothing worse than to see a gorgeous bird deface themselves with some shit drawing. That said if I ever did have one it would only be the blue badge as I was born and will die a blue Edited August 31, 2008 by Jimmy the blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 I considered one when I was 16 but decided against it, after a few years they look stale and an eyesore in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sporting4ever Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 a bit off-topic, but just got curious as hell. Why have Latin mottos??? English is not a Latin based language, like portuguese, spanish and italian, so what's up with that?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English is not a Latin based language, like portuguese, spanish and italian, so what's up with that?? Because Nil Satis Nisi Optimum is the clubs motto and has always been in latin not quite sure of the origins but means "nothing but the best is good enough" and is shown on the clubs badge. Hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummieblue Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 sorry just realised you knew it was a motto, in that case i presume it's because it's shorter and fits on the badge!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps no, i totally got that, i assumed it was the club's motto, my question is a bit broader. Why use Latin, when there's no relation to the language? just curious.

Why use Latin, when there's no relation to the language? just curious. i quite honestly dont know. i just think its got something to do with it always being used as a language for mottos for many years, just a tradition i guess.

petegilb2 Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 The influence of Rome as a country made Latin the common language of South and Western Europe. In these areas Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian and Portuguese) were later derived from Latin. To understand the English language thoroughly it is necessary to have a knowledge of Latin. This is caused by the fact that Anglo-Saxon language (Old English), had borrowed many words from Latin, either directly or through French. This Germanic language group, spoken in Britain, south of the Forth (except Wales and Cornwall), has been making these borrowings both before and after the Norman Conquest (AD 1066). As a result, modern English and Latin are quite closely connected. also Latin was the main language that people learned in england from the 16th to the 19th century yes i am a geek but hope it kinda answers your question!

Andy Cain Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Im gonna get one soon but I havent got a clue what to get. I might get Nil satis nisi optimum somewhere but I dunno. Might get it on my chest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 *BUMP* I'm thinking of getting a tatoo when I 'become of age' . I'm getting one on my chest. Like two guns with wings on top. It looks really awesome and I'm getting one similar. I've thought about it for a few years now and have decided 100% I want it. A while a go I wanted a star on my wrist/arm/hand but I kinda' went against it just in-case it turned out wrong I couldent hide it. I'm going to stick to chest and back. Might get something awesome on my back - maybe just the word 'Awesome' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'd like to have the club motto etched either down my calf or across my back as Stevo's said his mate has. Just remember though dont get anythin that you'll regret later in life i got a british bulldog's face on my bicep when i was 15 i look a right twit when its on show looks like something from a tom and jerry cartoon will be getting it covered with a Mowry pattern soon.

Yeah 15 mate i went to Blackpool one day which is littered with backstreet tattoo shops so they did'nt seem to arsed about my age just said i was eighteen in a slightly husky voice as you do went to school the following monday thinking i was the man . I would like something similar to this or along those lines http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/082903m.jpg might design my own as it will need to cover the other tattoo though, when i asked my local tattoist he said it would cost around £150 so might get it done within the next month.
