Okay guys I could really use your help here. I want to get the Delphic Maxim "Never Tire of Learning" I think it's number 121. But I also want to ensure my Greek spelling is correct would some one mind telling me if this Μανθανων μη καμνε is the proper spelling for this Maxim. All help is appreciated

Yes, except it would be written in what we would call 'all-caps' or uncial Greek.

But spellingwise, this is correct.

Okay thank you! Just wanted to double check my spelling cause I don't want something on my body permanently if it's misspelled.

I.didn't see any diacritical marks in the text you showed us, but I'll say it anyway, just in case. When writing uncial Greek, accents and other diacritical marks are not used.

I have "ΓΗΣ ΠΑΙΣ ΕΙΜΙ ΚΑΙ ΟΥΡΑΝΟΥ ΑΣΤΕΡΟΕΝΤΟΣ" tattooed just under my left clavicle, so I already went through all this x)
