Where can I get an ARAMAIC translation?

I really would like to get my next tattoo script in aramaic (what they spoke at the time of jesus) but am unsure where to get a good CORRECT translation since it is a dead language.

The text is: "This blood runs thick in a heart that's pure"

any help would be much appreciated

thank you

Update:

i have seen aramaic and i know it might look funny. that's why i really want to see it first. it's just such an amazing language with such history.

my second choice is italian and i already know that translation.

    I would suggest you try a seminary or theology school. They usually teach Greek and sometimes Aramaic. If not that, then approach a language major at a university and ask them. However, have you seen Aramaic script? That phrase could easily run four times as many characters and look like nothing more than a bunch of lines and triangles.

    Just be very careful because if you don't get it just right (miss a line or something) it can end up saying something completely different.

    Sorry I don't have any way to find a translation just wanted to give some advice. :D
