subject: What does this mean?



My friend asked me to find out what she's had tattooed on her shoulder since her teens.



Can you translate it or identify it as junk?

Hi Tian, I have always wondered what this tattoo really says. 



It's supposed to be the initials "S M S". 



Something tells me that it does not. Id love it if you could clear this up for me finally!







Another sucker of the gibberish font.

No idea what I even had done 15 years ago. Honestly no clue any help? 



I think was meant to be my initials.

subject: Awesome Tattoo



This guy told me his tattoo (老彼了我孩）means I'm always looking after my boys.















































What is this hodgepodge of "old, that, me/my, child"?!

A tiger!

As always, thanks for looking. Here are some new Tattoos.

I was happy with this one.

You might've seen this already. Cosmic whale.

It's always nice to do some tattoos by hand. Without the aid of electricity.

Ukranian Pattern.

Another one you might've seen already. New photo though.

subject: Chinese character tattoo translation



Hi Tian,

This is intended to say "passion". Can you tell me how it actually translates?



Thanks

JP

情绪 does not mean "passion", rather "mood, moodness".



Both 情 and 绪 have been split into two separate radicals.

subject: gibberish? 



I have a feeling that this is gibberish, but I'd like some confirmation that I truly DID make a huge mistake in judgement 16 years ago. 



My initials. "M" "C" "G" 



Thanks, 



Mark G.







Yep, it is gibberish using this font.
