I've always wondered what my tat really says....

it supposed to be "wicked clown".

I don't even know what language it is.

Alan and I have figured out where the guy got "wicked clown."

alone can also mean "bad," "evil" or "wicked", and appears in the word 丑角 (the simplified variant of 醜角) which does mean "clown" or "joker."

But there is no way that 歹丑 means "wicked clown" so we still think the guy is an ass clown.
Alan spotted this photo in BME's Kanji tattoo gallery:


Despite the great calligraphy (calligraphy as in fancy artistic penmanship), there is a huge typo on this person's torso.

Bushido, the way of the warrior in Japanese is written as 武士道, not with in the middle. itself means samurai or warrior, but 武侍道 makes no sense in Japanese. Especially considering Bushido is a Japanese concept.

"Bullshitdo", the way of bullshit, would be more fitting.

Favorite Musical Symbol Tattoos

Musical Symbol: If you're an established (or aspiring) musician, show your love of your art by having a musical symbol tattooed to your lower back. You'll want to make sure to choose a symbol that accurately reflects your art. You could even go for an entire bar of music that specifically impacts you-perhaps one of Mozart's symphonies. That would be a guaranteed conversation starter, especially within the classical music community. Alternatively, you could also decide on a tattoo of a musical instrument, such as a guitar, trombone, or violin.

This is supposed to mean passion. I don't think it does. In fact, i couldn't locate this configuration of radicals at all. What are your thoughts?


p

It means "hot, middle", which does not mean "passion".

This tattoo also reminded me the terrible hip-hop song by Nelly, Hot in Here.

Cherry Blossom Tattoos

Cherry blossoms have also been used throughout traditional Japanese tattooing. Originally cherry blossoms were a revered flower and a symbol that many samurai held close to the hearts. In fact many of the most famous samurai would write poems about the cherry blossom. They felt it represented life and symbolized the temporary existence of life. It therefore acted as a very powerful reminder and symbol to live each day to the fullest since life ends quickly and is delicate like the cherry blossom. Again this is a wonderful symbol that is full of meaning. It looks beautiful and delicate as well as has power behind it. They also can make a great tattoo design. You can choose to do a large tattoo design of the whole cherry blossom tree, just a branch of even just the fallen petals in the snow or water all very d

Angel Wings Favorite Tattoo


Most of us would want to get a favorite tattoo like an angel tattoo in order to let the people know who we really are. By getting this tattoo, we are letting the people know how angelic we are. Angels are already a part of our lives since our childhood days. They're supernatural messengers of God. Angel designs are ideal for both men and women, although angel tats for women are more popular.

For men, there are also several different styles available for them - angel wing tattoos, the guardian angels, archangels as well as cherubs.
