It can also refer to a very attached family - "my father is my uncle's and my uncle is mine" (still misspelled). Anyway, דודתי really doesn't work.
באופן כללי יש בעיה עם הפסוק הזה, כי "דודי" זה גם אהובי, גם הדוד שלי וגם שם חיבה לדויד. מצד שני, זה לא יפה לעוות פסוק מקראי כדי להתאים את זה מגדרית וכיוצא בזאת.
הקיצר, שיבחרו פסוק אחר.

Incidentally, the curvy thing in the middle is a representation of the Roman Catholic ‘Holy Trinity’, ie father, son, holy spirit, influenced from Irish catholic tradition. I guess on top of the kitchy Hebrew there is kitchy Irish appropriations.

I don't think it would be possible to use דודתי in this case.
When my customers want it written as said about a female beloved I usually give them אני לאהובתי ואהובתי לי and if they want to have a matching tattoo with their girlfriend, then my advise is for her to have אני לאהובי ואהובי לי as well.
I really can't wait for this Beckham trend to end.

This Hebrew Tattoo is a great example where some Hebrew letters, which are easily confused by beginners, caused the whole tattoo to be an embarassment. By just taking a few simple steps to learn the Hebrew Alphabet, people could spare themselves a lot of pain and frustration.

An exceptionally ugly tattoo, too. Looks like a big bloody splotch on the hand.
Makes me wish that someone would regulate tattoos to prevent people making a joke of themselves.

Know what? I volunteer to start the Earthly Tattoos Regulation Office. Please call me for details.

My biblical Hebrew isn't all that hot, so I can't say whether it'd be correct to use "Dodati" for a female beloved. I don't think it was used that way in the bible, but who knows? (In modern Hebrew it just means aunt)

You may wish to also record how a male should get this tattoo done, to be gender-correct. I believe it would be:

אני לדודתי ודודתי לי

2010-02-14T19:31:37.091+02:00

You're right about the "Dodi" Gdud, that's for sure. As a matter of fact, I have at least three other bad "Dodi" tattoos in the waiting queue. None as bad as this one, but still.

It is a never-ending tragedy.

Oh, it all maketh sense, T-t. His State gov't ...

2010-02-14T18:04:02.088+02:00

Oh, it all maketh sense, T-t. His State gov't overturned the same-sex marriage laws, so he gave his lover to his dad, just 'on paper'. But then he fell in love with 'Zadoodie', their hair-dresser, who insisted on a tattoo as a sign of seriousness.
Moral: 'There but for fortune go us, 'has ve'halil'
But you are correct: there are now enough mistaken 'Dod's and Dodi's to form an entire 'G'dud' (an army regiment'), all marching backwards and/or upside-down. When will it end?
