got ink done

Recommended Posts

SO i went and got a tattoo at the old tattoo parlor yesterday.
i got this chinese guy at my house to translate stuff for me. literal word for word translation is "freeing fly skydiver" but the meaning in chinese he said would stand for freeflying skydiver.

now i have an insentive to get back into jumping. I'm not about to ink myself for life with something i'm not gonna take part in.

if only it was the jumping season :( damn winter.

Now I don't know about the rest of the group here but I do speak Chinese. The tat is somewhat correct. It does say "Freeflying Skydiver" but you have way to many characters needed to say that. A true translation:

"I'm a freeflying crossdressing skydiver"

Sorry man, at least it has what you wanted it to represent.

I like that. :)
Btw, at 11 jumps, how do you know that you won't be more interested in other skydiving diciplines? What if you become a swooper or hard-core wingsuit flyer or something else? (Of course, I am assuming that at your jump numbers, you have never done any freefly jumps, yet.)

In any case, it's still a very cool tattoo. Hope you begin jumping again, soon. :)

Oh you're totally correct. why stick to one dicipline right? but most of the people at my DZ are freeflyers and it's something i know i'd love to do and try. And remember, that's just my first tattoo on my arm. There's MANY more area's to tattoo "hardcore swooper" or "RW owns your soul" haha

the first two mean free (or freedom it can go either way) the second one means "ing" and the fouth is fly and the last three are skydiver. so like i said a literal translation is freeing fly skydiver but he said if it were to be grammatically correct that's the order they go in. or the fly and ing could be changed...i dunno i don't understand chinese haha, either way, it looks good, i'm happy with it, and i can say it means anything because no one here reads chinese :P

Took forever to do - but I think It might impress her!
I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama
