9 Things Only Lebanese People With Tattoos/Piercings Will Relate To
Though tattoos and piercings are becoming more “normalized”, there are some experiences that all Lebanese people that have them have to go through. So if you’re one of those people with tattoos, piercings, or both, then you’ll definitely relate to these 9 things.
1. “Yiiii ana men zamen 3abele bas bkhaf men l waja3”
Okay? Shu ba3mellik ye3ne?
2. Dealing with the “ana ma bheb l tattooyet/piercinget” on first dates
But they always add “eno ktir leb2eenlik/ak bas ana shakhsiyan-” okay kol khara.
3. “Hay l tattoo shu bte3ne?”
It just means I thought it looked f*cking cool so I got it.
4. “Did it hurt?”
You mean when they pierced a hole into my skin and shoved a piece of cold jewelry into it? La abadan.
5. *Lebanese tetas staring angrily*
I understand the discomfort/disapproval…bas lesh m3assbeen. Shu 3meltelkon?
6. Cold weather and facial piercings
Facial jewelry getting ICE COLD when it’s cold outside is probably one of the worst feelings ever.
7. “Aymtan 7a tsheel/e hal 7al2a?”
Especially if you have anything that ISN’T the tiniest stud on your nostril.
8. “Tab keef betmakhet?”
People with septum piercings understand. FYI…we blow our noses just like everybody else.
9. Sitting through looooooong discussions with tattoo/piercing virgins who want to show you what they plan on getting
Love the enthusiasm.
