I would like to clear up something. Having people refuse to translate something is their very own right, this is after all a volunteering forum and nothing makes anybody translate something against their well. And it's not because some do not translate something for a reason or another that it makes them less nice, or mean.
Tatoos are forbidden in Islam, and there is an argument that helping to do something that is forbidden (even for non-Muslims) is like doing it. This is the main reason why most Arabic speaking members here (who are mostly Muslim by the way) prefer simply not to translate tatoos requests than "take the risk".
For my part, I explicitly refuse to translate the word Allah for a tatoo, but I do not think that it's my business if someone gets his name tatooed from a translation of mine... But as I said, I just prefer not to bother for the moment.
