The Gemmatria of Tattoo

God’s hidden message about tattoos

By Joshua Mayhem

There is a concept or system in Judaism where the Hebrew letters also serve as or represent numbers and so every Hebrew letter has a numerical equivalent, and this system is known as Gematria. The values of the letters in a word can be added up to the numerical value of the word, words can be added up to the value of sentences and so on and so forth in the belief that words or phrases with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other, or bear some relation to the number itself. This hidden system adds hidden messages and meanings in the Torah which can illuminate all sorts of information that is otherwise hidden from plain site. The numerical values of the letters are also used as numerals, similar to the way the Romans used some of their letters  like I, V, X, L, C, D, M for example, as numerals.

The numerical value of any word is determined by adding up the values of each letter. The order that the letters  are in is irrelevant to their value.  With 304,805 letters in a Torah Scroll, you can bet safely that there exists many hidden meanings yet to be revealed.

The Hebrew word for tattoo is four letters: Kuf, Ayin, Kuf and Ayin and pronounced Ka’ a’ ka. The letter Kuf equals one hundred and the letter Ayin equals seventy, and so it is one hundred + seventy + one hundred + seventy equals three hundred a forty. Other Hebrew words that add up to three hundred and forty are Mitzri (Egyptian), Paras (Persia), Sarisi ( Eunich ), and Shem (Name, also first name of one of Noah’s three sons).

The Hebrew letter Kuf is the nineteenth letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet. The Hebrew word and name for the letter Kuf means monkey. What is a monkey? A mimic, as in the well-known adage: “Monkey see, monkey do.” The letter Kuf is also a mimic. It imitates the letter hei.

The Hebrew letter Ayin, is the sixteenth letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet. Ayin is the Hebrew word for eye, but it’s also used for source, well, spring, fountain, origin. The letter Ayin’s numerical value, or gematria, equals seventy, which is a number of significance in Judaism. The shape of the letter Ayin resembles an English letter Y, however once upon a time when the shapes of the Hebrew letters were more pictographic in shape and form, the symbol or picture for Ayin was an eye shape or a circle. Through our ayin, or eye, is one of the ways we accept and project positive and negative energy, or vibes or whatever you refer to them as.

So the Hebrew word tattoo, or Ka’ a’ Ka (Not to be confused with the slang English word kaka) or Kuf, Ayin, Kuf and Ayin, means: the monkey copies or mimics a monkey that is copying or mimicing…
