Good news - This permanent Hebrew tattoo will stay with her forever.
Bad news - The tattoo doesn't quite say "Forever" (LaNetsakh) as intended. In fact, it is written backwards, and the result is a nonsense word, a word that looks like "eggplant" (Khatsil) more than anything.
For today's lesson we'll learn to write "Forever" correctly in Hebrew. This is how it's done:

When composing a Hebrew tattoo, it's important to remember that the Hebrew language is written right-to-left, unlike English. Also, don't trust your text editor to write it out properly, as they often don't.
Particularly, and this is the important bit: Don't trust Photoshop with your Hebrew tattoo.
Photoshop is a great program, but unless you have the Middle East (ME) version, it will reverse Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi letters, giving you a backward tattoo. It will even reverse text when you do copy-paste!
