Nicht Versuchen (German translation needed)

Help appreciated:

is "DON'T TRY" in English

translated to

"versuchen sie nicht"

or

"nicht versuchen"


(online translators have given me both)




This is very important because I plan on tattooing the true translation on my chest.

The correct one would be :
Ich mag Pimmel

Lame joke gone wrong?

Which form? imperative?

But it sounds like a veeery bad idea for a tattoo... Go with #2's suggestion

It means "I like penis"

Don't get a tatoo in a language you don't understand. You'll be as "cool" as those guys with Chinese characters on them.

1. Donīt get a tattoo.

2. "versuchen sie nicht" and "nicht versuchen" forget these two. The first one isnīt correct and the second is something like ... seems gay.

3. You could use the imperative: "Versuchs nicht!" is the shorter more aggressive form of "versuchen sie es nicht!"
or "Wags nicht!" (Donīt dare it) is the same of "wagen sie es nicht!" But wag in english isnīt the best choice.

4. Donīt get a tattoo #2, because it will not look dangerous until you write it in Schwabacher or Fraktur letters and then you will have to shave your head too.

5. Perhaps write "Dr. Schmerz" (Dr. Pain) on your chest, this would be really cool.

Why would you not go and ask a professional instead of asking in a sub-sub-board of an mma-discussion site?
