Бен, Бенджамин

Make sure you see the Cyrillic characters properly on the screen before you make the tattoo.

Hoping that someone could help me...

I am Italian and I am thinking to get a tattoo ; my name (Nicola) in Russian.

My russian friend sayd that in the Russian culture to make a tattoo of own name is not nice, because give the impression of a man that has been in the jail, so she advice me to don't make it.

THIS IS TRUE ????????

(In Italy this is not a problem, but I will move to russia.)

I agree with your Russian friend - it's not good idea

A good book on this subject is the Russian Criminal Tattoo Encyclopedia
by Danzig Baldayev. Some of the tattoos shown are pretty graphic, but it's an interesting read nonetheless.

I might say go ahead if you were going to stay in Italy, but since you are going to Russia...I really wouldn't recommend it.
