I'm Chinese, I just don't speak it...lol. Parents won't help me out. I'm gonna get small-sized Chinese symbols on the side of my calf.

 

I want it to be translated to Happiness, Love, Inner Strength in that order. Anyone know if this correct order in Chinese? Or should Inner Strength be on top since it is two words?

 

Which way is correct?

 

Happiness

Love

Inner Strength <--this will be vertical, no JS

 

Or

 

 

Inner Strength <--this will be vertical, no JS

Happiness

Love

you're chinese?!

why won't your parents help?

 

Were you born in China?

Perhaps we could try to reply to the inquiry and not turn this into a question period that I suspect would lead me to have to move and do stuff ...

I'd love to help, but I have no idea

no offense to josh, but tattoos is stoopid. you want inner strength, happiness and love? okie dokie. great. why not just get out a permanent marker and write, in english, "inner strength", "happiness", and "love" on your forehead. no doubt more people would gets your message that way as you is obviously not in/from china. sounds silly? write in chinese makes kewl... show ethnic pride and makes an esthetic statement?

 

...

 

if you is from a culture wherein a tattoo is earned after some sorta manhood ritual then yeah, we get it... gots more meaning than just some sorta fleshy billboard advertisement. otherwise tattoos is little more than a very visible and permanent expression o' the folly o' youth.

 

however, to answer your initial query, no, Gromnir is not fluent in chinese. sorry.

 

HA! Good Fun!

Gromnir is flawed it saddens me to say. Old fashion in a puritanical sense as well. A shame.

 

HA! Good Fun!

Old fashioned? Haven't tattoos been around for ages?

No, you're flawed Pidesco.

Tattooing has been a Eurasian practice since Neolithic times. "

Pixies, that makes little sense.

You're flawed Petay.

Gromnirs typing skillz are flawed. They take forever.

10 minutes later still waits for Gromnir's reply.

*pats dark_raven on head*

 

maybe when you get older you will understand.

 

HA!

 

got nothing to do with fashion in any case, old or new. folks of all ages do silly things 'cause they thinks such actions/expressions is kewl. fine. no harm. if is a mistake, then you learn and move on... but tattoos is permanent. dumb. heck, you gets drunk in vegas and gets yourself married and you can gets annuled with little fuss, but try to get rid of the that superman logo painted on your kiester and you out o' luck.

 

 

you loves goth music or picasso... not make no difference to Gromnir. just as bad to get silly goth tat as a the entire Guernica mural on your back. download a tune or buy a print, but turn yourself into walking advert is just foolish.

 

HA! Good Fun!

 

btw, we know you all hang on Gromnir's next responses, but we multi-task... you children gotta learn patience.

Thanks, dad.

if your dad gave you same advice, then maybe you should consider that he and Gromnir know more than do you. maybe not, but the possibility is worth reflection.

 

HA! Good Fun!

I asked whether the wording is correct, not what your thoughts are on what I do with my body.

 

If you don't know, don't care, or simply don't want to answer, I could care less about your uncalled for rant. Thanks.

What you meant to say was couldn't care less.

Not really. I could care less enough not to reply to spam on my thread.

Does it really matter where the double-word part of the tattoo goes anyway...it's not going to make a difference whether it goes up the top or the bottom of the tattoo because it's going to be split up and assumingly not going to mean the same thing anyway if both tthe characters are seperate.

 

Flip a coin to decide or something, since it doesn't seem to make much difference.

That's ok Eddo, you just made a mistake is all.

You can't "care less enough"

 

that doesn't make sense.

That's just nonsensical.
