Kanji tattoos

Saturday, June 21, 2014

This is NOT a Kanji / Hanzi tattoo. This is just a doodle.

Another hideous tattoo:

The two "items" which can be seen in the picture above could hardly be called "Kani" or "Hanzi". This is not Sousho/Cǎoshū (=the flowing cursive style of calligraphy). Is not even Gyousho/Xíngshū (=the semi-cursive style of calligraphy). In fact, it isn't cursive at all. And no one could ever say that these two characters are written in Kaisho/Kǎishū style (=regular writing).

And, to make things worse, the second character is missing several strokes.
In conclusion, this is just a doodle. A mirrored doodle, to be more precise.

For comparison, in the image below you can see the same word (真愛 = true love) written in Kǎishū style (Kǎishū means "regular writing" in Chinese; I don't use the japanese term - Kaisho - because 真愛 has a different meaning in Japanese - it doesn't mean "true love", it's a feminine name).


Chinese writing: true love. This image belongs to www.tattoo-rose.com

Butterflies tattoos: locations on the body for a butterfly tattoo

A butterfly tattoo can be placed everywhere on your body. Here are some popular locations for this kind of tattoo:

- in the lower-back: due to his symmetrical form, a butterfly design is considered a very suitable tattoo for this area; in this case it can be combined with various tribal elements
- on the wrist. The wrist is a perfect place, especially if you want a small tattoo. In this case the butterfly design can be combined with a bracelet tattoo
- on the ankle. Here, the tattoos can be hidden or shown depending on the occasion or your mood of the day. It can be integrated in a bigger tattoo (usually a floral tattoo) or can be used together with an ankle-bracelet tattoo
- upper arm and shoulder: these locations are preferred by men. A tribal design is very appropriate for these locations
- back: the back is a perfect location if you want a big tattoo
- nape: only for feminine tattoos. Ideal location for an elegant and sensual small-sized butterfly tattoo
- lower abdomen, pelvis and hip: these are some very appropriate locations if you want en erotic tattoo. Women and girls can choose a stylized butterfly, a tribal black butterfly or a coloured butterfly. For a man it'd be better to avoid a colourful butterfly in those body areas

Don't believe this guy - he has no idea what he's talking about:)

Hello, everyone!
Let's take a look at the picture below:

The tattoo is OK, but the description of the image is completely wrong: first Kanji (芸) means "art, performance, talent, technique, acting" and the second one (者) means "person". If we put these two Kanji together we get the world-wide known word 芸者 (geisha), but the person who posted the image says that the meaning of the the word is "beauty" (If you are looking for some of idea, I think this Beauty Kanji Tattoo Design is a great choice for your design idea future, so don’t forget to checkout the main page Best Kanji Tattoos Design to read the whole story. We hope these picture motivate you to be carried out for your lovely tattoo.)

Well, what can I say? It seems that on the Internet, everyone is an expert... in everything.
