Nah, I spent two and a half years trying to satisfy The Curiousity - it can't be done.

Anything to do with a foriegn language.. it's a good idea to get translations from as many diffeent people as possible..

Remember there are regional variations on words within each language also..

Can you trust Google? They to English to Chinese translations.

Well, aye Mark, there are dumb cunts who should have their names tattooed in case they forget, luckily I'll no fall into that catagory until I'm wee n old n don't know if it's new year or New York.

Oooft, Posh man, that's a bit harsh lol.




Aye Al, I'll be looking to get a lot of feedback on translations n that before I would consider gettin ANYTHING done. Better safe than really, really, really sorry lol.

I cannae seem to get the google thing to work.

[triggerhappy]

Works for me. My name, apparently:

勞拉

Wonder what it really says?

[Fenntastic]

i used to work in a chinese take away and i remember one of the regular customers coming in and showing off her new chinese tattoos. they apparently said 'sister' and 'mother', but the mother one basically translated into bitch. oh how i lol'ed
also i remember seeing a kanji tattoo on badtattoos on LJ that was supposed to say 'tattoo' (why? i dunno) but it actually said tomato

[triggerhappy]

Tomato is cooler than tattoo.

[Fenntastic]

very much so, but i imagine a little disappointing when its not what you wanted etched into your skin forever

[slicer]

Aaahahaha. That's a bit pish to get it done and find out that it's something really shite lol.

All the more reason for getting anything thoroughly checked before gettin it done!

[Posh]

Deserved if you're gonna get a tattoo that says 'tattoo'.

What the fuck is that? The 'Repo Man' equivalent of a tattoo?

[MarkMono]

A charming (and I think somewhat new.) fashion I noticed over the summer is young neds having their names tattooed in large black spiky letters across their back and shoulders a la gangsta style.

Looks cool on a giant black pipe-hitting nigga, looks ridiculous on a milk-bottle-white sparra-chested ned.

I agree, except for in the instance where your ACTUAL NAME is "Slicer". Which it is, in this case.

Kanji and the like are not something that we are keen on doing (we do do them tho coz at the end of the day the customer is always right). We explain to everyone who wants it that we take no responsibility for the meaning. Glad you're trying to have it checked out first!

One other thing to watch out for is that it's the right way round when they put the transfer/stencil on. We've seen a ton of people who want cover ups coz the artist has got the stencil back to front! It's up there with spelling your wife's name wrong!
