Frank, I thought you might be interested in this about Connor and Murphy's tattoos:
Connor and Murphy both have a Virgin Mary on the side of their necks, a large Celtic cross on one forearm, and Murphy has AEQUITAS written on one trigger finger, while Connor has VERITAS. Aequitas means Justice - Veritas means truth.
Here is an image of their tattoos:

That depends on which dictionary you are using, and how you use the word and its root. It can be translated either way, however, justice is the correct translation.

Look, I realize there are a lot of want-to-be scholars out there, and you idiots all think you're so much damn smarter than the other guy. Pay attention, if you will, to someone who probably has a higher IQ and ten years of education more than any of you: aequitas has one meaning, because "aequitas" means "aequitas." It is a Latin word -- not English -- and translation almost always distorts definitions. Equality, justice, fairness...they're all the SAME DAMN THING. There are simply fewer words in most languages than there are in English. And quit bitching at each other. I ran across this forum by accident, and all I can find are people ripping into each other for the sake of a difference of opinion that no one seems to be able to back up with more than a f-ing WEBSITE as a reference. Shut up, go to college, and stop whining.

You are sooooo intelligent. Wow. What good advice. "get a college education" and the ever popular "my iq is so much higher than yours"............If you couldn't tell the sarcasm so far, don't bother. Being a college educated person, I'm sure you know the IQ test is a bit of a crap shoot, and that your criticizing of others' attempts to answer this question is as bitchy as anyone else's. Calling them "idiots" just proves your superiority. Right? Icame here to find an answer to a simple question, and instead found your jack-assedness. I'm happy to know the answer, but disapointed to know that someone as smart as you is such a ravenous dick face cokmaster.

Posted by Sheila: "[D]oes anyone have the words to the prayer in the movie? If so could you send it to me.
Thank you"
Which one? The family prayer?
And shepards we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee.
Power hath descended forth from thy hand,
Our feet may swifty carry out thy commands,
So we shall flow a river forth to thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomeni Patri, et Fili, Spiritus Sancti.

If your going to be a translator then get it right, it's Filii if you have doubts then go to the actual movie site for boondocks and the director has a post of the proper spelling. Just like spanish, Latin also has diffrent ways of spelling the same word. It matters in what context you are using it. Also there is diffrent forms of lating aswell, there old style and new style latin. Just a heads up next time you want to correct someone.

Latin is an inflected language, meaning that direct objects, indirect objects, subjects, predicate adjectives, prepositions, etc all take different case endings. In the example of "filius", the phrase is "in the name OF the father, OF the son" meaning that the noun used will show possession and is therefore in the genitive case. For father/patris, a third declension noun, "OF the father" is "patris"; for filius, a second declension noun, "OF the son" is filii (or fili, both ways are correct these days).
You know, I really liked this movie... but seeing people get all huffy over a simple matter of grammar strikes me as puerile. And yeah, that's Latin too.

Murphy does not have a butterfly tatooed on his chest....he has his real name, Norman, because it is a real tatoo.
So is the one on the underise of his arm, and the one on his back.
Aequitas and the Virgin Mary are fake.
Yes, Il Duce tattoo IS of a butterfly....watch the dvd with Billy Connolly's commentary on (special edition only) and he mentions it. It is a butterfly- he says so.

Why doesn't anyone have a fullsize picture of the cross tattoo on their amrs. I wanna see the detail on it, not that little thing you have with the writing around it, because its not the same thing they have. Does anyone know whaere I could get a good picture of the tat?

i think being a saint is just standing for what you believe in if its religious based or not. in stead of squabaling in senseless chatter about tattoos and other erealavant topics those choosin and blessed with a higher sense of self should unite and make a stand against that witch is evil.
destroy that witch is evil so the good may florish.
p.s. sorry about any spelling errors cause i know there is alot. And shepards we shall be...

I have a hard time believing anything that you say. You have a spelling and grammar level that is slightly more advanced than a dog. Have you ever heard of spellcheck? Or a dictionary for that matter? I think you could even have a 10 year old proofread your post to make it better.

Don't you have anything fucking better to do with your fucking time then flame people for there spelling. His reply was a lot more worthwhile then your reply. fucking loser.
Someone asked for a picture of the tattoo of the celtic cross on the arms of the brothers. This is the clearest picture I've been able to find.

Technically Aequitas is cannon law for "justice with equity" having replaced "misericordia" as cannon law in the late 1100's/early 1200's. Equitas is justice. Just thought I would shed some light

why cant any of you think of original ideas for tattoos? if i saw someone with a boondock saints tattoo on the same exact spot that they have it on i would probably kick you in the shin for being such a loser. theres plenty of shit to get why copy what you saw in a movie? www.bmezine.com is a good site to check out and they got plenty of others to refer to on it. dont be so gay and maybe people wouldnt make fun of you so much and then you wouldnt have to spend your days online in a boondock forum asking about the lame shit you want tattooed on you. k thanks bye

I thought about this too...I figured I shouldn't get the exact tattoos that they have. However, I like the idea of thier tatts. Being a police officer, I get to fire a gun a lot, and thought it would be cool to have a tatt on my trigger fingers. I'm thinking about getting "Judicium, and Carnificina". I don't really care what everyone else on here has to say, 'cause you're all fucking lame to be arguing shit like this....A tatt is a tatt. It doesn't matter where it comes from. I enjoy seeing tatts of movies on people, it's always a good conversation starter. I have Iron Maiden tatts on me 'cause I like their album art, and I'm a big fan. It's the same idea as movie tattos. Does that make me lame? No, I didn't think so. Deal with it.

I'm a police officer too. Have been for 9 years, yet I've never fired my gun. Interesting claim you make. Where are you an officer?
I thought it would be cool to have a tatt on my trigger fingers.
you only have one trigger finger. Besides that, it would not be cool for an officer to have finger tattoos. Quite unprofessional isn't it?
