Default So, who knows?!

Another explanation could be that the tattoo artist tricked the lady, and tattooed an insulting sentence, for some unknown reason.

All this also assumes that the language is Arabic, but there are many other languages that use the Arabic alphabet but are different (after all, there are also very many languages that use the Latin alphabet and have nothing to do with English). So maybe the correct meaning is something completely different in another language.

And then there is still the question of the last letter.

So, who knows?!


I hope I will find someone here!
