So I'm getting a new tattoo. My last name on my upper back. I have strong Russian heritage, unfortunately they've all passed away and I'm now in the Army. I would like to get it in Russian, my dad was not Russian though. The last name is "Hicks". I don't know the lettering or anything and don't trust the online "translators". Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Хикс

When I read that opening post, my first thought was "My gosh, if I asked that question, they might trick me into tattooing some obscene word on my backside."    I think I have a suspicious nature...

making such tattoo won;t be traditional in russian sense....

If you need really someting russian - do "Не забуду мать родную!" on your arm. It's more traditional, means "I will never forget my mother".

  As long as it's not the lower back, he'll be OK 

  Welcome to the Forum, btw.

Не забуду мать родную   - how about "Mom"

Careful they don't translate "hicks" to just "Hick"
