I was just translating your tattoo with a translator. Now i reallly hope someone can help you but the automatic translator says that your tattoo either says : dishonor in dead women (dishonore in morte) and before dishonor (prima di dishonore ). Don't worry I'm sure someone can help...

Cheroti, the language is italian(also if mistaken) and no dialect of some region, you can write it better..?
I read: Disonore in morte prima di disonore... so it means no very well because is dishonore in death before of dishonore...

If the misspelling "dishonore" bothers you, consider having the tattoo artist reconfigure the "h" into a design element - such as a dagger, cross, sword, or other symbol (a silhouette of Italy?).

p.s.I am not saying that the spelling is correct... because I just don't know myself... the word "dishonore" does not exisit in my dictionary...!!

further... "googled" some more and found this

http://www.crimelibrary.com/gangsters_o ... mbo/7.html
The last casualty in the Colombo War, Orena capo John Scopo, was the handiwork of an 18-year-old assassin named John Pappa, who had been dispatched by Greg Scarpa. Pappa, who wears a large tattoo of two menacing eyes across his upper back under the inscription "Morte prima di disonore"- death before dishonor - then gunned down his two partners in the Scopo murder for taking undeserved credit for the hit. Eventually Pappa was convicted on four murder charges. He is now serving four life sentences.
