Answer 1

"Único " less letters less pain

Answer 2

diferente. (Del lat. diff?rens, -entis). 1. adjetivo. Diverso, distinto.

I would like to ask you: different from what?

diferent from the other people, the crowd - Yiannis_, Jul 9, 2015

Answer 3

So it's 'Diferente' vs 'Único'. I've chosen Spanish for the tattoo to be written as it is a tribute to a lost amor with a girl that really liked the language. She made me feel unico or diferente.

Well, both tattoos take up future modifications, i.e. Unico-->unicorn and diferente--> Somos diferentes

Answer 4

So, what do you propose? 'unico' 'diferente' 'diverso' ?

Diverso is very rarely used in Spanish and doesn´t work. Único, with written accent and capital U, would be better. I assume you are a man. If not, it must be "Única". - LuisCache, Jul 9, 2015

Answer 5

That's cool! No pain no gain though It's just that I've already seen this tattoo elsewhere and wondered in what language it is written. Maybe I''ll do sth unique!

The image is in Spanish. - rac1, Jul 9, 2015

So i presume the last letter is e, 'diferente'? - Yiannis_, Jul 9, 2015

Yes, I magnified the pic. It's an "e". - rac1, Jul 9, 2015

Make sure they spell it correctly, Yiannis. :) - LuisCache, Jul 9, 2015

Yes, please take Luis's advice...he knows what he is talking about. :) - rac1, Jul 9, 2015
