Thread: before I get this tattooed on my arm.....

just COnfirming. Unfortunately I can't ask my Russian speaking parents to provide me with a translation for body art!

"Breathe. All things must pass" translates to "Дыши. Всё Проходит"


And there's one more - "From the raging of the sea, still waters..."
or "After the raging of the sea, still waters..."

What, Chinese characters aren't good enough for you?

Strictly speaking:
Всё проходит = Everything passes (away).
Everything must pass = Всё должно пройти.

And don't start each word with a capital letter (particularly in tattoo)

Thanks for the aesthetic advice! So what about the other phrase "From the raging of the sea, still waters..." which i actually omewhat modified from a translation i found from a book of Russian proverbs by Dubrovin.

Here is my attempt only, do NOT tatoo this to your arm

После бурного моря, тихий океан...
