The Tattoo Girl

সবচেয়ে সুন্দর আত্মার অধিকাংশ শক্তি আছে

The above words are written in the Bengali typeface. Bengali is a sweet Indian language, and I speak this language at home. The English translation of these Bengali wordings would sound like “The Most Beautiful Soul has Maximum Power”. Now you can figure out on your own what it actually means.

I found this charming lady at Times Square, New York City, and took a few shots. When I saw the Bengali typeface tattoo on her back, it looked very interesting to me, and I immediately asked her if it was okay to take few shots of her and the tattoo of her back. Thanks to her (I know her name but it is better not to use it for sensitivity), she spontaneously agreed to pose for few shots in the busiest street of New York City. I do appreciate this and got a few amazing shots.

I, personally, am not very fond of tattoos. I will never do anything on my body, nor do I encourage anyone. But, whoever likes tattoos on their body, I hope they select carefully what it means, symbolize, whether it makes any sense or not to them or whoever will see it. “সবচেয়ে সুন্দর আত্মার অধিকাংশ শক্তি আছে” is written in Bengali, but it could be written a better way in Bengali keeping the meaning intact, it actually sounds horrible to those who know Bengali well.
