  Hi ! I need a special translation, it's for a tattoo, so I don't want any mistakes ! I would like the correct translation for "sorry" which means in the context "forgive me for everything I've done and I'll do". Google gives me this " סליחה " is it right? Thanks !

  Let me say this again: Do NOT get a Hebrew tattoo. It is asking for trouble if you and the tattoo artist are not BOTH fluent in Hebrew (and it's forbidden in the Torah too). Here is a site full of Hebrew tattoos gone terribly wrong: http://www.badhebrew.com (Men -- if you care about tzniut do not visit this site due to some of the pics there.)

  (Yet) another bad Hebrew tattoo! It is tough to know exactly what is meant since the Hebrew is, at best, grammatically incorrect. It might mean "a place in Heaven" or "caught (f) in Heaven". Note however that "shamayim" in Hebrew means the sky or the heavens, not "Heaven".
