Getting A Tattoo But...

[NoidZ]

Yes, I'm getting a tattoo. It's gonna be a tribal with a Kanji symbol at the top, but a woman I met London said the symbol didn't mean what I thought it ment (and the site says) But she said there where some design differences. Now she's from China, but the symbol is Kanji. I don't know the differences between those symbols, but can anyone here confirm the picture below means what it says?

I found two sites which say it means this. The picture above is taken from one of the sites, the other site was www.bullseyetattoos.com

Thanks!!

I don't have your answer, but do you mind me asking where you are getting the tattoo? I seriously hope it's not on your forehead

 

[NoidZ]

Hahahaha, on my forehead she says :lol:

No, I'll be on my back; shoulders-neck. This is the one;

100% Original

Getting a tattoo soon too, well once ive finalized the design. If anyone ever wants one designed for them, PM me and we can talk details.

Tribal and kanji, the two biggest tattoo cliches. :rolleyes:

Why not just tattoo the actual word "dignity" onto your back? It's basically the same.
As a matter of fact, I really think kanji and tribals are very much overdone past the point of nausea. But on the other hand it's your choice and I don't have to look at you

As for your question: Kanji is Kanji. It's the same in the Japanese language as well as in the Chinese language.

Giggles, Well if it was anywhere fun I would insist on pics :rolleyes:

Cause Kanji gives you the possibility to use one or two symbols for a whole word. Plus, I really like those symbols. It does something to me. Also, if I get the chance to live/work in Japan or China, I'm taking the next flight. But that's my strange wish I hope to become reality some day :rolleyes:

yep, the two styles all tattooists are getting sick of

I'm not quite sure how the Japanese would take to "gaijin" tattooing random words on themselves...

But then again, the Japanese do the same thing with random English words (more often on t-shirts than tattoos, but still :lol: )

I wouldn't if someone pays 400Euros for it

Nice to get so many replies, but does anyone here has an awnser to my question? I'm making an appointment next Saturday, and I really don't want to end up with a Kanji which doesn't mean what I think.

Thanks!

Actually, Mosch answered your question

So if the woman told you that the tattoo design was wrong, then I'd listen to her.

Are you yourself Chinese or Japanese? If not, I don't think it's too wise to get permanently scarred with a word etched in your skin in a non-native language.

... and I am heavily tattooed. h34r:

if you have a crass tattoo im not going to be impressed.

 

[daclassicgamingmaster]

Telco, what do you have tattoos of?

I myself never intended to get any tattoo. Or piercings for that matter.

I was gonna get my brow peirced once, but realised two things.


1) I'm not a fag
2) It leaves a big scar, eww scars! (umm, does point one still count?)
