hi please can anyone translate the quote fortune favours the bold for my boyfriends tattoo , many thanks hope you all have a great day

You see 天助勇者, also 天佑勇者; think the former is perhaps closer. I'd suggest getting it done in Latin instead, which is regarded as the original.

I agree with Jim on the Latin, although interesting question, my first thought was 不入虎穴焉得虎子 though I suppose thats more with risk comes reward

from Tianjin China,you can try 勇者無懼 means A brave man has nothing to fear or

It's an English proverb. However, there are no exact Chinese proverbs and idioms that directly correspond to it. It can only be translated to a sententce like “幸运眷顾勇敢的人” or “天佑勇者” , which was suggested by Jim, and I really appreciate it.

 

By the way, I watched a video recently where a man suggested not to get tattoos when your're young, because the words can become distorted when the skin ages. Does that make sense?

There is another Chinese saying which somehow expresses the meaning of “fortune favours the bold” in rough idiomatic way—饿死胆小的撑死胆大的. This saying fits very well with fortune favours the bold proverb.
