Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth
yǐ yá huán yá yǐ yǎn huán yǎn
Here's the full proverb, 以牙还牙以眼还眼, with the first and second parts.
However, in Chinese, it's more natural to put the “tooth” part first, so this more accurately reads “Tooth for a tooth, eye for an eye.”
If revenge is important to you, I suppose this is the phase you want on your wall.
Ivory / Tooth
牙 is the character for ivory or tooth in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
牙 can also mean tooth, tusk, fang, or molar.
Tooth for a tooth
yǐ yá huán yá
以牙還牙 is a phrase that often goes with “An eye for an eye,” even in Chinese. Revenge seems to cross all languages, cultures, and even species (animals are known to take revenge too).
If a Chinese person uses just one part of the full proverb, it will be this “tooth for a tooth” one. Although, we are more likely to say “eye for an eye” alone in English.
Chinese people may also read this with the meaning of “Bite me, and I will bite you back.” However, it literally means “tooth for a tooth” or “you take my tooth, I take yours.”
