Answer 4

I strongly suggest that you get any tattoo in a language you speak!  Only fools get something marked on their bodies they don't understand.

   People DO get tattoos that they think say "death eater" but actually says p**p eater, so something else just as stupid.  If you have something to say, it must be worth saying in YOUR language, or don't bother!

Answer 5

The below link has a list (like 30 pages) of popular and common Latin phrases.

I have used this list for my personal tattoos and found it a great resource. Some of my favorites are:

"alea iacta est" - The die has been cast, meaning something is begun that cannot be stopped

"nosce te ipsum" - Know thyself.

"non sum qualis eram" - "I am not such as I was" Or "I am not the kind of person I once was". Expresses a change in the speaker.

"oderint dum metuant" - Let them hate, so long as they fear

"sic semper tyrannis" - ever thus to tyrants

"sapere aude" - Dare to be wise.

"tu fui ego eris" - "what you are, I was; what I am, you will be."

These are just a few of the many many phrases. Please follow the link below.

Also... as for location. My roommate has pretty cool tattoo. Its a Latin phrase written backwards on his chest, so that it appears correctly when he looks at it in the mirror.
