It says "Nosce Te Ipsum", which is Latin for "Know Thyself". This is my first tattoo, and i plan on getting some nice scroll work done around the letters to accent the entire piece. It was done at A-1 Tattoo, in Gladsone, missouri, by Dana.
love it! the font is fantastic! do you speak latin? if not where did you get the translation? i'm wanting "with heart and soul" in latin as a tattoo. x
