Chinese TATTOOS : Warning - don't get a "FAKE"!


"Love" - traditional Chinese

Ever considered to get a tattoo with Chinese symbols? 

Or maybe you already got it, but are you sure it means what that beardy guy in tattoo salon told you? 

Want to be sure? Read below...


Woman's tattoo means "chicken" ( traditional Chinese writing)

The guy's tattoo is even worse - it means, wait it for it - prostitute, poor guy  :( unless he does it for living of course, and this is some kind of advertisement. 


This girl tattooed "ugly" in traditional Chinese.


Now the next one is really stupid, pay attention!


I start to believe this guy is a zoo-keeper, he surely has a farm tattooed at his back: 
Dog, Pig, Chicken, Rabbit and Goat
Really?

Now, let's see some GOOD examples, on celebrities of course, cause their tattoos will be translated by the paparazzi as soon as they close the tattoo salon's door.



Nick Carter's Chinese characters tattoo means "The emperor of the sea" or "Poseidon" for the Greek mythology lovers. 


Marcus Camby - NBA Player Portland Trail Blazers (Center-Forward) 
The upper character means "strive to be the best". The one below it means "clan"

Some advice:

There are number of sites that will help you translate or even create your own tattoo in Chinese, but you should try to find someone who is familiar with Chinese (ideally a Chinese person) and ask his/her help.

These are some pretty good web sites that will help you choose wisely, enjoy! And may your ink never lose it color's brightness!
