One of my very close friends (female) had a Chinese tattoo done on her arm.
Turned out to say something along the lines of “male chicken loving whore” needless to say she was very upset when she found out and had it tattooed over with what was supposed to by a butterfly but turned out to be just a big blob

I don't know whether to laugh or cry tbh.

Let's hope the joke wore off.

So glad my sister got off with such a small semantic shift rather than a full blown insult.

I'm Chinese and I always thought it will look wierd for me to have a Chinese tattoo, so I'm looking for something in Aramaic but its so hard to find a reliable souce of translation. JESUS SPEAK TO ME!

when I see a Chinese tattoo I just look at and smile and the person starts getting paranoid, evil but fun.

ok, i've just asked a proper chinese girl who works in the lab and she says its means 'magic' or something magical that normal people don't have, a special person with 'magic'.

Thanks, its a relief to know its all good... It would be just like my sister to have got a tattoo saying "i eat babies" or something.

Used to be a web page with photos of people's tattoos and an explanatino of what they really meant. Was hiliarious. Can't find it now but.

It's Chinese and also used in Japanese Kanji (which are Chinese characters in any case!)

rofl... so:

is right?

Just asked my flatmate and he says it's pretty much "Angel" but in Chinese they don't have such a thing as Angel. He says it means their equivalent of an Angel, somebody who's either up in the sky or at the top of the mountain who has led a good life and thus now has magical powers or lives very long.

Left symbol means Human, Right symbol means Mountain. So it translate to the Human who lives high up the mountain. So in translation it's the same thing as an Angel but doesn't actually mean Angel.

Edit: He's just told me a better translation would be an "Immortal Human" with powers but good, not bad.
