bkdice 0 #1 June 26, 2003 When I got 3 Japanese characters tattooed on me a few years ago - I got a book on Japanese characters first. I studied many of the different characters and their meanings. There were several different characters for one word, sometimes - but each had a different meaning. I selected the ones that I wanted. Now, some people might just walk into a tattoo parlor and tell the guy what he wants and never know what he gets.

Genn 0 #2 June 26, 2003 So true. I have a character on the back of my neck. I did the research and found that there are more than one meaning to my character. I also worked in a tattoo parlor a long time ago and didn't agree with the meanings they put on the wall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txblondie 0 #22 June 26, 2003 When people are explaining their tribal tatoo's/chineese characters with complex deep stories, I just explain mine with "You shouldn't take life too serious" reply] **************************************** Good answer; my ex had a Marvin the Martian on his shoulder blade, and he explained it the same way. Myself, my two tattoos are not tribal or anything like that, but I thought about it. However, I was too lazy to research the symbols or I would have; the problem is, too many people I know have thought "that Chinese symbol is COOL!", then later found out that it meant something offensive, and I was scared of that. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun!
