This tattoo-design is promoted on many websites, but, as you can see in the images below, no one would say what this symbol could mean. Of course, one can find tons of worthless descriptions such as <i>"Match Your Character with Chinese Symbol Tattoos Chinese Symbol Tattoos For Body Girls ....

The reason behind those elusive explanations is the fact that the ideogram is so poorly written that it makes it unintelligible. In conclusion, don't use this distorted ideogram as a starting point for your Kanji/Hanzi tattoo.

The church (sometimes depicted as a cathedral, monastery, fortress. etc, but usually depicted as a traditional russian church) is one of the main themes of "Vory v Zakone" tattoos. Usually this tattoos are large, covering significant areas of the chest or of the upper back. The number of domes/cupolas/towers signifies the number of convictions or, less often, it represent the number of years of incarceration (usually each dome represents a conviction; the number of the years served in prison is indicated trough dots tattooed on the knuckles).</p>

A thief in law (Russian: vor v zakone) in the Soviet Union, the post-Soviet states and respective diasporas abroad is a specifically granted formal status of a professional criminal who enjoys elite position within the organized crime environment and employs informal authority over its lower-status members. Each new Vor is vetted (literally "crowned", with respective rituals and tattoos) by consensus of several Vors. Vor culture is inseparable with prison organized crime: only repeatedly jailed convicts are eligible for a high Vor status. Thieves in law are drawn from many nationalities from a number of post-Soviet states. According to the estimates of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were about 500 "thiefs-in-law", with the majority being of Caucasus ethnicities.(source: Wikipedia).
<br /><br />
The Vor v Zakone are also known for their impressive tattoos. Tattoos are often done as a rite of passage in the criminal world - some of the Vor v Zakone members are tattooed before they are even sentenced to prison. It is hard to decode these tattoos because most of the tattoos have multiple hidden meanings. Some of the most common imagery is religious: the Madonna and Child, Russian churches, crosses, etc. However, these tattoos have absolutely nothing to do with religious beliefs; their real meanings are rooted in prison and criminal traditions.
<br /><br />
For example, <i>Madonna and baby Jesus</i> is one of the most popular tattoos worn by criminals, and usually this tattoo symbolise loyalty to a criminal clan (the bearer of the tattoo is "clean before his friends" in that he will never betray them to authorities); it can also mean that the wearer believes the Mother of God will ward off evil; as well as meaning that the wearer has been behind bars from an early age.

<br /><br />
Dan Quirk is a graphic artist who exposes the human anatomy in a harmless and interesting way while using the human body as his pallet. Elaborately exposing life-like muscles and ligaments across an uncut pallet of human skin, artist Danny Quirk's recreation of the human body opened up reveals beauty to be more than skin deep. Painting a thin layer of the stretchy liquid over his models, his detailed work amazingly promises no pain despite the perceived exposure of their spines, jaws, arteries and other anatomical pieces. When it's finished, the designs simply peel off. (source: www.dailymail.co.uk)

Ideograms reading:<br />
- in japanese: Kanji: 射手座; hiragana: いてざ; reading: iteza<br />
- in chinese: Hanzi: 射手座; pinyin: shèshǒuzuò. In chinese there is also another word used for Sagitarius: Rénmǎzuò (traditional Chinese characters: 人馬座; simplified Chinese characters: 人马座).

For more zodiac tattoos visit my website - seiza.ro. If you use any of my tattoo-designs as a model / inspiration / starting-point for a tattoo you might consider sending me some photos of the tattoo once it's complete. Thank you in advance.

Don't use this Kanji-chart as a start point for a tattoo!!<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Hello, everyone! In this post I want to warn you against a so-called "kanji chart" which, for the sake of the truth should be rather called "Laughably distorted Hanzi/Kanji chart". Below you can see the (in)famous chart:</p>
<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWLKfgX8TpghLSw97uuxrem63tFS3RgAezHDHObF7WhrDry0G4asXTwo-Pb-NzYM14dn_RXaRAAXTJEvoXseNRIMY9668TkY9lVacLPwZj0P9skupuHumoN-VkihBdozDMpIEbK5eWyFJ9/s1600/kanji+chart+fails.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWLKfgX8TpghLSw97uuxrem63tFS3RgAezHDHObF7WhrDry0G4asXTwo-Pb-NzYM14dn_RXaRAAXTJEvoXseNRIMY9668TkY9lVacLPwZj0P9skupuHumoN-VkihBdozDMpIEbK5eWyFJ9/s320/kanji+chart+fails.png" /></a></div>
<br /><br />
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
At the first sight, the so-called chart and the accompanying text seem pretty credible, but don't let the appearances fool you: nearly all the ideograms presented in this image are distorted and several of them are wrongly translated.
<br /><br />
So, if you want to get a Kanji/Hanzi tattoo, don't waste your time, don't waste your money, and, above all, don't waste your skin - and don't use this chart as inspiration for your future tattoo.

In this post I'll talk about differences between the main types of glowing tattoos, namely the Uv reactive tattoos (also called blacklight tattoos) and the so-called "glow in the dark tattoos". Blacklight tattoos (also known as UV tattoos) are often confused with the glow-in-the-dark tattoos and there are not few those who try to get a glow-in-the-dark tattoo and get instead a Uv reactive tattoo.</p>
<h2>Blacklight tattoos</h2>
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
UV tattoos (blacklight tattoos, ultraviolet tattoos, uv-reactive tattoos, etc) are tattoos made with a special ink that is visible under ultraviolet light (blacklight). Contrary to popular belief, these tattoos DON'T CONTAIN either <i>phospors</i> or <i>phosporus</i> and they DON'T GLOW IN THE DARK. As their name implies, these tattoos don't glow by themselves, their luminosity is caused to REACT to the ultraviolet light (black light). They need a source of black light to glow; if you don't expose them at black light, they WON'T GLOW.
<br /><br />
The ink used for the UV-tattoos contains fluorescent substances. Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. The emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed radiation. The most striking examples of fluorescence occur when the absorbed radiation is in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum, and thus invisible to the human eye, and the emitted light is in the visible region (source: wikipedia).</p>
<h2>Glow in the dark tattoos</h2>
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Glow in the dark tattoos are made with phosphorescent ink; as any other phosphorescent substance, the phosphorescent ink needs to be charged with energy by exposure to light; the energy is "stored" for a (relatively) long time (depending on the phosphors used this time can vary from several minutes to several hours) and is slowly released in the form of light; due to this process of absorbing-storing-releasing of the energy, tattoos that contain phosphorescent ink glow in the dark.

Usually I say only negative things about the ridiculous Kanji/Hanzi tattoos that can be usually seen on the internet, but today I'm in a good mood and therefore in this post I'll try to say something positive. So, instead of saying that this is an absolutely ridiculous, poorly written, hideous Kanji/Hanzi tattoo, I'll say that this is a first-rate doodle-tattoo.</p>

In this post I'll talk about an extremely popular misconception, which can be resumed into this single phrase: <i>"Glow-in-the-dark tattoos that do not require a light source to glow because they contain phosphorus which can glow by itself"</i>. There is a lot of confusion here, so let's try to be clear step by step:<br /><br />
1. The ink that glow in the dark is (usually) phosphorescent ink, and it's different from the fluorescent ink (the Uv-reactive ink).<br /><br />
2. Phosphorescent materials/substances glow in the dark after the end of an excitation with ultra-violet light or visible light. In simple terms, phosphorescence is a process in which energy absorbed by a substance is released relatively slowly in the form of light. This is in some cases the mechanism used for "glow-in-the-dark" materials which are "charged" by exposure to light. Unlike the relatively swift reactions in fluorescence, such as those seen in a common fluorescent tube, phosphorescent materials "store" absorbed energy for a longer time, as the processes required to re-emit energy occur less often (source: wikipedia). So, since the phosphorescent materials need to be charged by expusure to light, it's obvious that if you keep your phosphorescent tattoo away from any source of light, it won't glow in the dark.<br /><br />
3. There are indeed some substances that glow without exposure to light, but these substance aren't either phosphorescent or fluorescent, they are radioluminescent substances (and radioactive).<br /><br />
4. Phosphorescent ink is made from phosphors such as silver-activated zinc sulfide or doped strontium aluminate, calcium sulfide, alkaline earth metal silicate, etc. These substances are called "phosphors". The chemical element <i>Phosporus</i> isn't phosphorescent; it emits light due to chemiluminescence, not phosphorescence (pretty confusing, isn't it?).<br /><br />
5. In phosphorescence, the lifetime of the emission of light lasts from several seconds to several minutes. If a material/substance can keep glowing for several hours, it's not correct to refer to that material as phosphorescent materials/substances. The phenomenon that occurs in this case is called <i>Persistent luminescence</i> and is commonly but incorrectly referred as phosphorescence. In order to make the phosphorescent ink/paint to glow several hours, various activators are added (e.g. the <a href="http://123-tattoos.blogspot.ro/2014/10/uv-reactive-tattoos-and-glow-in-dark.html" target="_blank">glow-in-the-dark cosmetic creams used for Halloween make-ups </a>are made using the ZnS:Cu phosphor - Zinc sulfide activated with Copper). These activators are one of the reasons why you should avoid a permanent glow-in-the-dark tattoo.<br /><br />
6. As I've said before, there are, indeed, some types of substances that glow by themselves - the radioluminescent materials/substances. Radioluminescent paint contains a radioactive isotope (radionuclide) combined with a radioluminescent substance. The isotopes selected are typically strong emitters of fast electrons (beta radiation), preferred since this radiation will not penetrate an enclosure. Radioluminescent paints will glow without exposure to light until the radioactive isotope has decayed (or the phosphor degrades), which may be many years. They are therefore sometimes referred to as "self-luminous" (source - wikipedia). Tattoos made with radioluminescent ink can be very spectacular, but you don't want radioactive substances on or under your skin, don't you?</p>

Are they a good idea or a very bad one?<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lately I've seen more and more articles trat promotes the Uv-reactive tattoos and even the (in)famous "glow-in-the-dark" tattoos. It's true that these two kinds of tattoos are extremely spectacular, but before decide for one of them you should be aware about the possible side-effects of these peculiar tattoo-inks (on the other hand, there is no such thing as an 100% safe tattoo-ink; even the ink used for the temporary-tattoos presents risks for your health).
<br /><br />
If the tattoo is meant to last only for one night you might consider getting a fluorescent-tattoo drawn with an alcohol-based ink, which is temporary, can be easily removed, it's cheap, it's pretty spectacular, it doesn't heart and carries fewer health risks than the fluorescent tattoos (not to mention the health risks carried by the phosphorescent tattoos).<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">

Hi, everyone! In this post I'll continue to highlight the errors that I've found in <a href="http://creativefan.com/chinese-tattoo-symbols/" target="_blank">this absolutely ridiculous article.</a></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-soFqtPzcbN-C1S_QNUS6mjjzoMxBXcYpK2dI6ZgISA7cXihAHo9iqthW6MNrKcDqrcx8VTurExeA_L-ijFkJK9TWy2BsYWA1QcXbTRIEMVzZz_VnOMdj3qDL3paMdCRT_mRlbOhHlKot/s1600/fail123.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-soFqtPzcbN-C1S_QNUS6mjjzoMxBXcYpK2dI6ZgISA7cXihAHo9iqthW6MNrKcDqrcx8VTurExeA_L-ijFkJK9TWy2BsYWA1QcXbTRIEMVzZz_VnOMdj3qDL3paMdCRT_mRlbOhHlKot/s320/fail123.png" /></a><br /><b>Let's take a look at the picture above. This ideogram (loyal, loyalty, fidelity, faithfulness, devoted) is one of the most common chinese/japanese ideograms. Instead, Mrs Kaylee Smith (the author of the article) has nothing to say about this ideogram, except the fact that it has <i>"a striking resemblance to a human face"</i>. It's obvious that the so-called "expert" has absolutely no idea about the significance of the ideogram (which, I repeat, is a very simple and a very well known one).</b></div><br />

In fact, first ideogram means "little sister" and the second ideogram means "forever", so the meaning of these two ideograms taken together could be something like "little sister forever"?? (I don't know this word and I couldn't find it in any dictionary).</b></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70gwsEQMKlbqF9ydEgLZgn3Q4L7Z-lkZGKiTIAxIIR6NRs1DjOddKjk9usK2y__QqoAywAvEiQw4T7TfmLhyphenhyphenv4gFyRnUwVydaM1BkmH-ArKicNjVQ0iSxJ98rztmHJp4_ptoeKBxppnxY/s1600/fail181.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj70gwsEQMKlbqF9ydEgLZgn3Q4L7Z-lkZGKiTIAxIIR6NRs1DjOddKjk9usK2y__QqoAywAvEiQw4T7TfmLhyphenhyphenv4gFyRnUwVydaM1BkmH-ArKicNjVQ0iSxJ98rztmHJp4_ptoeKBxppnxY/s320/fail181.png" /></a><br /><b><i>"tattoo with the Chinese symbol and an year name in digits"</i>???

The tell of love!<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Recently, while I was looking for some ridiculous tattoos to make fun of them I've found this little gem on ratemyink.com:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7O5TIGCn9SMLmJAumYYDbq-V1vAwFYcg033nWPeB2dRivRtvJUq-a0VGewhfF1oJq44kMht81OjWBgidbWfwPWW5CevwdMNzKVlxFQQ_isPuwia6zaG9P_c3p5BKsRhbt4po3JyIqRRU6/s1600/Screenshot+at+2014-08-08+13:39:09.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7O5TIGCn9SMLmJAumYYDbq-V1vAwFYcg033nWPeB2dRivRtvJUq-a0VGewhfF1oJq44kMht81OjWBgidbWfwPWW5CevwdMNzKVlxFQQ_isPuwia6zaG9P_c3p5BKsRhbt4po3JyIqRRU6/s320/Screenshot+at+2014-08-08+13:39:09.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
The person who posted the photo says about this tattoo: <i> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">My best friend did this one. It means I Love You in Japanese.</span></i> (see the picture above).
<br /><br />
Well, she is wrong, and I'll briefly explain why:<br />
1. The ideogram is poorly written and is missing several strokes<br />
2. "shiteru" is written with Katakana, but it should be written with hiragana (read this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_writing_system" target="_blank">article on wikipedia</a> if you want to know more about the differences between Hiragana and Katakana.)<br />
3. The Kana characters should be written on the same line<br />
4. The first character written in Katakana (shi) is missing two strokes, so it's not the "shi" character anymore, it's "no". This mistake transforms the phrase from "ai shiteru" (I love you) in the moronic phrase "ai no teru", which means "The tell of love" (tell = type of archaeological mound created by human occupation and abandonment of a geographical site over many centuries).<br /><br />

This is a really good advice. You should start with the tattoo itself!<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Despite the many positive reviews which can be seen on the Internet (see the PrintScreen below), this tattoo is not a "cool Hanzi tattoo" or a "Chinese symbol tattoo" or a "cool wrist tattoo" or anything else of this kind. In fact this is nothing else than another failed Kanji/Hanzi tattoo drawn by someone who doesn't know anything about Chinese/Japanese writing.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3JnHmiupOXW4op65uCs1uMM1PDAmCBtE0V6tlGjWMjeMj4nKn-nbW-MAzGEw7gfSMN8bD8YsrniEgJgSfZBZ0KulushPtd_R0ooP5KV-7C3qQsWD4t-Q2SNUNjWY9JVwWM0evEcYv9uW/s1600/stupid+tattoo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb3JnHmiupOXW4op65uCs1uMM1PDAmCBtE0V6tlGjWMjeMj4nKn-nbW-MAzGEw7gfSMN8bD8YsrniEgJgSfZBZ0KulushPtd_R0ooP5KV-7C3qQsWD4t-Q2SNUNjWY9JVwWM0evEcYv9uW/s320/stupid+tattoo.png" /></a></div>
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
And definitely this deformed ideogram does not mean "bike", as some people think, despite the fact that the ideogram is so poorly written that it looks more like a severely damaged bike rather than the original ideogram (成 - Chinese pronunciation:"chéng", japanese pronunciation:"naru/nasu/joo/sei"; meaning: "to finish / to complete / to accomplish / to become / to turn into / to change into"). In the image below you can see what this ideogram should look like:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLkfiQB_0yumrHU8H0m9iyf9AQW-7DzTiyMrCgAHiy6ihxrpM3G-0msssUHqMtDn0_ijljO2xn0rKPJAWZiCzSKgY4nt_FLDwiTtJbhrwuExOG1_AMkywtBla3yJ-OQFI6Wlp_xx30hi8Y/s1600/complete-282x300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLkfiQB_0yumrHU8H0m9iyf9AQW-7DzTiyMrCgAHiy6ihxrpM3G-0msssUHqMtDn0_ijljO2xn0rKPJAWZiCzSKgY4nt_FLDwiTtJbhrwuExOG1_AMkywtBla3yJ-OQFI6Wlp_xx30hi8Y/s320/complete-282x300.jpg" /></a></div>
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
In the end I have a piece of advice for the guy who wear this tattoo: dude, if you want to be the change or to be a part of the great change (as your tattoo suggests), you should start the change with this ridiculous tattoo.<br /> <br />

<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
Now, after we've seen the introduction, let's see what is wrong with this article:</p>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9W2WO7lru1YHTRl0YE_W7Wbw6GAHCoanl3OEPCF5kbNyNUEf6mzPPDLpKV5Cm0NgMmLiU0Ktv5spGFEgHCVrlNKxz7Ur2lWQDbjEJp98bKbPm3TBweEjERcu38_hv7rvoLZAV-dxosra/s1600/fail1122.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img title="distorted Hanzi tattoo" alt="hanzi tattoo fails " border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhM9W2WO7lru1YHTRl0YE_W7Wbw6GAHCoanl3OEPCF5kbNyNUEf6mzPPDLpKV5Cm0NgMmLiU0Ktv5spGFEgHCVrlNKxz7Ur2lWQDbjEJp98bKbPm3TBweEjERcu38_hv7rvoLZAV-dxosra/s320/fail1122.png" /></a><br /><b><i>Creativefan says about this tattoo: "Chinese symbol for bike"</i>. Nope, this is just a a horrible variant of the chinese character 成 (chéng) which means "to finish / to complete / to accomplish / to become / to turn into". The comment written by Mrs/Ms Kaylee is a clear proof that she doesn't even have basic knowledge of Chinese/Japanese language, because 成 is one of the most important Hanzi/Kanji and is used in hundreds of different common words. On the other hand, this ideogram is so poorly written that it looks more like a severely damaged bike rather than the original ideogram.</b></div><br /><br />

Maybe the woman who wear the tattoo feels like something is missing in her marriage :)<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday I've found on creativefan.com one of the worst articles about Kanji/Hanzi tattoos I have ever read. The author of the article has absolutely no idea about Chinese/Japanese writing system, but this didn't stop him/her to write an article full of ridiculous opinions and meaningless advices.
For example, let's take a look at this photo:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0pNihBzMjylDkUnNOF_d17oIUVPIwEWRTrA9V6wE_RP4HIPBA3JC9fEzCvHqSBVyEfCWdDYX0a29XRxkcxaA7kTyMw4YjxFI8_hD93Grny9WyMBFz8oxFc3iEoyKdvUEjJx8Q3E27k8S/s1600/fail5_1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf0pNihBzMjylDkUnNOF_d17oIUVPIwEWRTrA9V6wE_RP4HIPBA3JC9fEzCvHqSBVyEfCWdDYX0a29XRxkcxaA7kTyMw4YjxFI8_hD93Grny9WyMBFz8oxFc3iEoyKdvUEjJx8Q3E27k8S/s320/fail5_1.png" /></a></div>
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
As you can see, there is also a short description of the image: <i>This woman is pleased to become a wife and has got a tattoo with flowers to express her happiness and pride.</i> Yeah, sure. But it seems to me that she want to express not only her happiness and pride but also her ignorance, because the Hanzi/Kanji is missing several strokes. For a comparison look at the image below (I know, it isn't a particularly good looking ideogram, but at least, it is properly written).</p>

Nothing is wrong with it. Except that the characters are really ugly. And the <strike>artist</strike> person who drawn this <strike>tattoo</strike> mess has absolutely no idea about the bǐshùn/hitsujun rules (the order in which the strokes of a Chinese character are written). And the two components of the first ideogram do not resemble each other, as would be expected since the ideogram which means "dual/set/pair/twin". And the second character looks more like a distorted swastika than a depiction of the "子" Hanzi/Kanji. And the third character has no resemblance with the Kanji/Hanzi for "constellation (座). And the entire <strike>tattoo</strike> is hideous. Besides all these, there is nothing wrong with this <strike>tattoo</strike> doodle.<br /><br />

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

Here are some popular locations for this kind of tattoo:<br /><br />
- 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<br />
- 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<br />
- 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<br />
- upper arm and shoulder: these locations are preferred by men. A tribal design is very appropriate for these locations<br />
- back: the back is a perfect location if you want <a href="http://123-tattoos.blogspot.ro/2014/04/butterfly-tattoos-how-big-should-they-be.html#Big butterfly design" target="_blank">a big tattoo</a><br />
- nape: only for feminine tattoos. Ideal location for an elegant and sensual <a href="http://123-tattoos.blogspot.ro/2014/04/butterfly-tattoos-how-big-should-they-be.html#small butterfly design" target="_blank">small-sized butterfly tattoo</a><br />
- 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</p>

Hello, everyone!
<br />
Let's take a look at the picture below:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rgxkdFn5mGnOnDY5MkxHDKyPnIqvnruc4f1KZzd96EEdmz3v_Z_vwnPlohOtuTOY_hluDRrk1HaiFmFTb2_nXuxIXjrrYpWRI4atBTaZ_ajK9LOUrFsz2iIPCZqvOA9fhvumxMgiPeV9/s1600/geisha+tattoo.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rgxkdFn5mGnOnDY5MkxHDKyPnIqvnruc4f1KZzd96EEdmz3v_Z_vwnPlohOtuTOY_hluDRrk1HaiFmFTb2_nXuxIXjrrYpWRI4atBTaZ_ajK9LOUrFsz2iIPCZqvOA9fhvumxMgiPeV9/s320/geisha+tattoo.png" /></a></div>
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
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" (<span style="text-decoration:underline;font-size: small;"><i>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.)</i></span>
<br /><br />
Well, what can I say? It seems that on the Internet, everyone is an expert... in everything.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKdIzv5iv584XrhjY8BDNt3mqQoY8lQHU3UMtOJ8psFi-aYlrWXLmmAAGM64x9nORwI6C8rTaEM2EWAM7cnxjgOvtjpExWcpxwblkoP__rhv-czc8Z7sH8cwfwAsvbMB7N0GrVDqebjY70/s1600/image.png.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKdIzv5iv584XrhjY8BDNt3mqQoY8lQHU3UMtOJ8psFi-aYlrWXLmmAAGM64x9nORwI6C8rTaEM2EWAM7cnxjgOvtjpExWcpxwblkoP__rhv-czc8Z7sH8cwfwAsvbMB7N0GrVDqebjY70/s320/image.png.jpg" /></a></div>
<p style="color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
First of all, the tattoo is pretty ugly, but this is just a little problem. The real problem is his meaning. The owner claims that this Hanzi means "friend" or "friendship" but it's real meaning is "disgraceful" or "ugly" (俦 - "friend, mate" and 醜 - "ugly" are homophones).
<br /><br />
Do you see the irony here? This dude went to a tattoo parlor to get a nice Hanzi Tattoo and got instead a hideous tattoo which means ugly :)) At least, this poor tattoo is a honest one. And, besides, the real beauty comes from within :))

<p style="text-align: justify; color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">
I don't get it. This Kanji/Hanzi (which, by the way, is properly written) means jug/vase/jar/bottle - and so on... Unlike most ideograms, this one has no secondary meaning; it simply means recipient for liquids and nothing more. So, why would anyone get such a tattoo on his body?</p>

Since I've written a lot about butterfly-tattoos in the last 2-3 months, today I'd like to present you one of my favourite tattoo-designs. In this tattoo-design I have combined some tribal elements with the famous latin aphorism "Carpe Diem" - Seize the day (read more on this theme <a href="http://123-tattoos.blogspot.ro/2012/12/death-tattoo-various-elements-which-can.html#Latin maxims" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://123-tattoos.blogspot.ro/2013/02/various-elements-which-can-occur-in.html#fleetingness" target="_blank">here</a>. In the middle of the tattoo is depicted a butterfly - a symbol of both beauty and ephemerality of life (for more information on the symbolism of Butterflies <a href="http://123-tattoos.blogspot.ro/2014/01/butterfly-tattoos-meanings.html" target=_blank">read this post</a>)
