Hello,
My brother and I were thinking of getting a tatoo of a meaningful phrase in Ukrainian. I came across these two:
Cтеп та воля – козацька доля or Тримай голову в холоді, живіт у голоді, а ноги у теплі.
Would it be offensive to have these tatoos? Is there anywhere on the body it would be considered offensive? Also, if you have any ideas of phrases with similar meanings it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Dan,
I don’t think any of these tatoos could be considered as offensive. They have absolutely different meaning though so I cant suggest anything here as not sure what exactly you are looking for.
So first one has more anarchy sense – like “all I want is freedom”. Second one is kind of humorist advise like – “keep your legs in warm and you gonna be ok”.
As you can see they are absolutely different and I’m not sure which one you’d like to put on your body
I’d vote for 1st one though as it’s truly Ukrainian phrase
I am ukrainian and wondered what my last name translates to or what it generally means? I’ve heard “Big Head” or something of that sort but would like to know if it has a meaning to it. I’m also looking to get a ukrainian tattoo with my brother but wanted something other than just the tryzub. Not sure what it will be but I wanted a ukrainian symbol that represents brotherhood.
Well, i’m not expert in such things and there is no word “Holowchak” in ukrainian but it sounds like word derivative from “head” (it’s not “big head” but rather has the sense of smart head kind of “headdy boy”)
As for brotherhood symbol you can use 2 arms or 2 swords which has the meaning of friendship or brotherhood.
But as for me just love your brother as much as you can b/c of you are of the same blood and you wont need tatoo to prove it

Hi, I was wondering if my surname can be translated into Ukrainian? My grandad came over to the UK after WW2 and this is how he believed his surname would be spelt in English. He passed away before I got chance to ask him how it is written in Ukrainian and also, if there is any meaning behind it.

I am trying to find out more about my last name. My grandfather spelled it “Drohomereski” I would love to know how it would be spelled in Ukrainian, and/or the definition or background.
First off…Great website!
Anyways. My sisters and I wanted to get matching tattoos. Either Rurka Or Family. Unlike the rest of our extended family, we don’t know Ukrainian (just some words), so I was wondering if someone could help me on how you write FAMILY or RURKA in Ukrainian. Also, I saw that you were able to tell the meaning of someones last name, would you be able to tell me the meaning ok Chomic and Rurka??
Thank you so much
Hey Tracy,
Here is info for you:
FAMILY = РОДИНА
RURKA = ТРУБА (it translates as pipe)
Can you please translate a few things for me.
Every problem has a gift in hand .
Follow your dreams .

I’ve been wanting to get a short phrase translated for a tattoo, I was wondering if anyone could help me out.
There’s one I like it goes: “May I have the serenity to accept that which I must, the courage to change that which I can, and the wisdom to know the difference”
Hi, I am half Ukrainian, and half Irish. I love both sides of my heritage! I just recently got a celtic symbol for inner strength tattooed on my inner wrist, and I was wondering if there is also a ukrainian symbol for strength? If not is there some symbol for peace/happiness/serenity I could use to get tattooed on my other wrist?
I wanted the phrase “forever in my heart and soul” in ukrainian as a memory of my nana and to show her before she passes, I’m wondering what it would translate to.
