    Hi all, i made a post in body mod but was suggested i should ask over here.

    So i already have one tattoo on the back of my neck, but im looking to get another one on my foot.

    I want to get "The Beautiful Family" tattooed on my foot in italian.
    Now, when i looked it up, it said it should be "La Bella Famiglia" but i have heard people in my italian family saying "La Bella Familia"

    So my question is, before i get this permanently into my skin, is it "Famiglia" or "Familia"

    I used to speak spanish and i know family is familia and i didnt think it was in italian.

    Please help! Im going to get this tongiht!

    No, familia does not exist at all. Since when i'm born, i've never heard someone that used "Familia".

    At least, in the roman slang, we say "Famija", but it would look horrible!

    Famiglia is serious but not formal, just the right word.

    in venice we say "fameja"... but it's very uncool.
    i'd really love to have a tattoo done on the back of my neck...
    i'd like a green eye on it.... so i can see behind my shoulders!!!! XD
