Hey all,
Im really considering getting a tattoo soon but its not goin to be something crap or means very little...

Basically what Im looking for is a chinese symbol for "honor" or "trust"/"trustworthy" but sites that I have seen have maybe three symbols there./ I want it to look good and not have a trail of symbols...Have ye seen any sites that you could direct me to.

Also - whats a good font to have it translated underneath - gone through all my MS Word and the best i have is "EngrvrsOldEng BT".

Any suggestions much appreciated. I picked those words because they are things that I deeply value - was gonna use honesty but im not even honest with myself half the time and I conceal whats goin on with me so its not a perfect one to choose.
 
Dude...don't get a tattoo. It's permanent. Get a piercing or something...you can always just take those out.
 
I've got a symbol tattooed on my right sholder blade, it owns
 
Well, as long as ya'll all die young, yeah, sure. But I plan on sticking around a while and not being some old guy covered in ink...unless I become incontinent. That's where I end it.
 
i despise tattoos
on girls for me anyway they are such a turn off
and guys just look gay with them
 
Thats why it has to be something that I actually value - values like that dont change - and its not where everyone can see - plan to get it on chest so I always know at least - if friends mess me up (as happens and is happening) - i know what to value...

Wouldnt get a piercing and would probably get disowned for it... Someone had a font site and i found a couple of good fonts for it there - will try to put pieces together and post em here.
 
dont listen to the haters, tattooes can be tasteful unless you get something really retarded.

I find it quite the opposite. I hate piercings, they're so ugly. Tatoos are fine though.
 
If you're gonna get a tatoo at least personalize it and make it original. The whole chinese symbol thing has been done to death.

For the record, I never said they were trashy. I just think that old guys look dumb with them...unless it's a giant flaming anchor/snake/mermaid/skull combo across your chest. Badass and ageless.

Would but im not particularly artistic or anything - was trying to find other good symbols but chinese seems to be the only one where you can find things. Open to suggestions though
 
I'd get a tattoo, but that'd compromise my ability to give blood. And people need my alcohol infused blood.

You don't have to be artistic, just have an idea of what you want. A good tatoo artist will usually work with your ideas and give you some good examples before hand. Don't just settle for chinese symbols because they look cool, especially if you don't have any personal connections to anything chinese. They're just as trendy as getting barbed wire or tribal bands around your arm anymore. If you're gonna ink something into your body for the rest of your life, then make damn sure it's gonna be something meaningful to you and not just some fad that you might grow out of a few years down the road.

Seriously? You can't donate blood with tattoo? I'm definitely not getting one now.

A friend of mine's from Hong Kong. Stay with me on this one, it gets better. We were at this club and there were a couple of girls who had Chinese symbol tatoos. My friend asked them what they thought they meant - "peace" or "love" or "bum sex" or whatever. In reality, however they were actually completely nonsensical on their own or just meant something like "it".
I suppose it doesn't really matter if you like the look of it, but even so...

Omg you ***** , A girl with a tatoo above her bum is just RAWR (hot girl)
Boys look great in tatoos when they are a bit muscled and the tatoos arent overdone like SNAKES and other crap.
Ofcourse if you are fat its disgusting

That's why you've gotta do your own research. Don't just get drunk and go into some place and, well, you know.
 
I was just stating my opinion. Do I not have the right to or something?

The tatoo on the lower back is not "RAWR".

I was gonna say "SLUT", but my sister's got a lower back tattoo so I've gotta hold back ;(

I wasn't complaining about anything so I don't know what to get over.

saying people with tatoops on lower backs are sluts is the same as saying:
All americans are fat egocentric losers who just make war for fun and are to lazy to get off their asses and vote for a real president who isnt a complete sucker
 
on the news there was this chinese tatoo guy, and he tattoed symbols that meant 'prostitute' and stuff on people. But they didnt have a clue

Get a Chinese t-shirt like me...

It says in Chinese: "United together we can fight SARS!"

and has a typical communist picture of workers and medics fighting sars :LOL:

Hehe! That's damn cool.
The same friend who told me about the tatoos also got me a jumper from Hong Kong with some Chinese characters on them, but she doesn't know what they mean. I hope they say something abiout SARS.
Actually I've also got a Mao t-shirt that says something about the people's fist or something... Meh. It's just all SO Oriental.
