Can Anyone Speak (or At Least Competently Read) Latin?

Looking into getting something in latin for my next tattoo's and I've run a few phrases through online translators but have often had many differnt results concerning the different grammer, past or present tense, etc, etc.

If anyone can who has a pretty good grasp on the language could help, add me to MSN at karsonlevoret@hotmail.com and I'd be most greatful.

Cheers

I'm so tempted to say I can just for the hell of it.

But no, unless you want Carp Diem or Notre Benne tatoos I can only lie to you so you scar yourself with gobbledegook for life.

Out of interest, what (in English) might you be looking at getting?

Not sure yet, thats half the thing, I've got a couple of ideas but it depends how good the look in latin. Something to do with murder or just the idea of murder keeps popping up in my head...

Think this one'll have to go on the back burner for a bit, I could do with something more fancy then just script. Evey tattoo I have consists of words!

Quote from a famous british film, however it was slightly incorrect.

"liberate tuteme ex inferis"

Liberate is a plural imperative and the reflexive pronoun should be vos or vosmet, not tutemet.

Means "save yourselves from hell"

If you know that, and didn't simply read it and copy it from somewhere else, you know enough to piece together a few words for his tatoo, right?
