All this Tatuaje talk...

And since I can't find any of those fancy named runs....I'd really like to know:

How exactly is "Tatuaje" pronounced?

I've hit You Tube figuring that was the best way to find out, and I've heard it pronounced at least 4 different ways, even in interviews with Pete.

If I call a shop looking for the upcoming special release, I don't want to sound like a nitwit mispronouncing the brand name! :-)

So how is Tatuaje pronounced??

I have been told it is pronounced "Tat A Who Wa Jay"

It is spanish for tattoo:

"Tattoo ah hey" is the best I can spell it to make sense, haha.

Here is a link you can listen to the word:

Tatuaje is a Spanish word. In Spanish the letters nearly always sound just as they are spelled. In this case it is Tah-too-awe-hay. Or, when spoken in normal conversation it can easily sound blurred into Taht-wah-hay.

In spanish it would be: Tah-Too-Ah-hey (with a hard "h" as in Juan)

By "Jay" you man "hay" right?

This is the clearest pronunciation I've found.

Edit to add: I typed too slow...it looks like others have pointed out what I was thinking.

Thanks much guys!

Thanks Shane and Mickey, I had no clue either. Turn out I was pronouncing it correctly but all by chance.

EDIT: and everybody else :-)

I'm sorry but I've never heard it with the "A-who" in there, just "who"

I vote for referring to them as Tats :-)

Tatuaje is Spanish for "extremely annoying limited editions".

And is clearly pronounced OH VER RAY TID :-)

:-) I've always pronounced it TAT TWO AH HEY. Could be wrong but I've heard the word said in movies and TV shows, that seems to be the consensus.





I hope everyone understands I'm just messing around :-)
