    Something like this is really hard to translate without knowing the register or mood you are trying to convey.

    Nunquam mentior sed indomitus sum = I never lie but I am a barbarian.
    Nunquam mentior atqui indomitus sum = I never lie and yet I am a barbarian.
    Nunquam mentior quamquam indomitus sum = I never lie even though I am a barbarian.

    ps. I prefer indomitus because of its modern connotation of indomitable rather than the barbarous connotation of barbarus.

    You know, you've gone and jogged my memory - I remember omitting "est" frequently. So of course you're right. Thanks - I've re-learnt something here.

    Why would you get that tattooed on you? Just wondering I have half sleves on both arms and the mandatory MK V on my calf so I have a lot of ink not up there with Bradley,but I have a good amount.
    IMHO if you want to get something from a movie get the Boondock Saints prayer on you or something besides that you are a barbarian that dosen't lie, what makes you a truth telling barbarian? Again just wondering I allways wonder why people get what they get.
