Chinese Tattoos' Meaning Lost In Transaction

Thinking of getting a Chinese tattoo? Then arm yourself with this information before inking. It may be the difference between being cool and national humiliation. What? National humiliation? Well OK, national humiliation is an unlikely outcome, but an article in the March 1st, 2005 Washington Post Express shows that the possibility is there. "Lost in Translation" looked at the real dangers facing the unwary consumers who get kanji tattoos. I am not joking when I say “real dangers”. But neither am I referring to unhygenic tattooing practices. What I am talking about is toe-curlingly appalling linguistic blunders. Specifically, I mean kanji combinations like these:

* Extremely Military Affairs Stopping
* Crazy Diarrhea
* Weird (tattooed on B. Spears)

Yes, these are phrases that real people (yes, Britney Spears is a real person) actually have had tattooed into their skin. To be honest, I am not entirely surprised at these and other errors. After all, I have seen many reversed images of Chinese Symbols being offered for tattoos, and kanji tattoos that simply did not mean anything like it was supposed to.
Getting A Awesome Chinese Tattoo

People sometimes ask: "I got the tattoo, can you tell me what this means?" Why didn't you ask before you got that tattoo? Yes, you would think that would be the obvious thing to do – especially if you are getting something permanent like a Chinese tattoo.

So how can you make sure you don’t end up a national laughingstock?

* Find a pro to do the translation, instead of anyone who speaks Chinese. The Chinese characters, has a time span of 4000 years and a geography span across countries like China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It simply takes knowledge and expertise to do the translation well.
* Custom Design Your Chinese Tattoos By writting them into Chinese Calligraphy. Chinese calligraphy can make beautiful tattoos because of its simplicity and elegance, and the foreign nature of the script adds a nice exotic look to your body art. Chinese Symbol written In Chinese Calligraphy can create stunning visual effect.

Custom Chinese tattoo design and stencil Outline prevent your tattooist from making chinese tattoo mistakes while inking and make you chinese tattoo looks awesome. put it another way, without Custom design and outline, your tattooist would ink the Chinese tattoo which make you beome a clown.

Here are the advice when planning to get a Chinese Symbol tattoo:
1. Getting a right tattoo at the first time
Your tattoo will be with you for the rest of your life, please make sure you get a right symbol tattoo at the first time. Otherwise, Laser therapy is the only way of removing tattoos that offers generally satisfactory results and minimal scarring. It is extremely painful and very, very expensive. A $100 tattoo “mistake” can cost several thousand dollars to remove -- and not all inks respond well to laser treatments.
2. Do not Pick up Kanji From Tattoo Parlors
Many people have gotten what they thought were Chinese tattoos only to find later that the characters were drawn wrong, or in one case, the mirror image of the character was tattooed. You would make the mistakes mentioned above if Choosing them from tattoo parlors.
3. Do You Own Research
Before you run off to the tattoo parlor to get one done you should do your own research. Selecting Chinese Symbols deserve careful study and attention.
4. Consulting With a Chinese
Many words in English can be translated in several different Chinese symbols. Each of these may have a slightly different meaning in Chinese. Consulting with a native Chinese to get a a exactly CORRECT characters for your intended meaning.
5.Choosing Meaningful Words
Tattoos are forever. If you're planning to get a Chinese Symbol tattoo soon, be sure to choose the right and meaningful symbols. It is important to choose something of lasting appeal not something faddish, and it also needs to be a cool design you'll love tomorrow just as much as you love it today.
6.Getting Them Look Right
Western tattoo artists always add their own artistic flair, which is fine with English letters, but their script would deface Chinese Characters and make them meaningless. Again, take the time to do some research and find someone good at Chinese calligraphy to write out your design. Chinese calligraphy is a classic ancient art. The brush strokes must have a certain shape. Each part of a symbol must be in precise relation to the others. Chinese Symbols can be written in a wide variety of calligraphy styles as below.
7. Getting a stencil Outline of the Proposed Design.
Every tattoo design has a matching “stencil”. It is an exact copy of the tattoo design, but without any color or shading -- just the black line work that makes up the design. Your tattooist will transfer stencil directly to your skin prior to beginning the tattoo process, thus the tattooist will ink the tattoo which is exactly the same as the proposed design. You will need to print out both your tattoo design and the stencil outline and then take them to your tattooist.
8. Using professional Chinese tattoos translation and Design service
The only way to find the RIGHT Chinese symbol for you is to consult with a Chinese translator to translate and design the Chinese tattoos for you. Because of the complexity of Chinese Characters and also the fact the one word can mean two completely different things it is important that the Chinese translator understands the word you want translated.

How to increase height

It’s not fair, but the life of the typical “short” child includes:
* Being the last one “picked”—not just for sports—for just about EVERYTHING!
* Having Your self confidence destroyed on a daily basis by insults and snide remarks
* Difficulty Making Friends
* Being Perceived As Unattractive by the Opposite Sex

Some “short children” are lucky and finally experience a growth spurt or two. But for millions of us who never experience any significant growth spurts—well, we grow up to be short adults where we can look forward to:

* Making Less Money than Similarly Skilled Taller Counterparts
* A lifetime filled with fewer long term relationships
* Less Sexual Intercourse
* Lower Self-Confidence
* Less Satisfaction with life (when compared to taller persons of the same sex and background)
Hello, my name is David Anderson and I was definitely the “short kid” all throughout my school years. I finally “peaked” when I was 17 coming in at a “whopping” 5 foot 7 inches. During my teenage years, I suffered ongoing problems with depression, low-self esteem, and could never bring myself to ask a girl out. I was always afraid she would laugh at me for being “the shrimp” stupid enough to think I actually had a chance. My family kept telling me to keep waiting for a growth spurt that would never come. I was short as a kid and now I was going to be short as an adult. Gee, thanks. My time, it seemed, would never come. I sat out and watched my high school life from the sidelines—would my adult life be any different?
Being Short As a Child Made Me a Target And Affected Who I Became As An Adult…
While I was an easy target in high school—I was easy to forget as an adult. No one noticed me or talked to me unless it was absolutely necessary. People seemed to avoid eye contact with me at all costs. They seemed to sense my embarrassment and wanted nothing to do with me.
My parents tried cheering me up and telling me everything would get better. Then, they just lied: “Your height isn’t important. People see you based on what you do and who you are”. You can always count on mom to pretend we’re living in some perfect little world but I’ve watched again and again—the taller guys immediately attract the beautiful women while not even looking in my direction. I have been passed over for promotion more times than I can count by a taller person—were they all more qualified than me or was I not even considered because people didn’t take me and my height seriously? Psychological studies have shown that taller people are perceived differently than shorter people. Your height subconsciously affects how others perceive you—or don’t see you as is the case with short people! In general, taller people are perceived as:
* Confident
* Assertive
* Natural Leaders
* Strong both emotionally and physically
But What Could I Do About It—Height is Controlled by Genetics, Right?
Kinda.
Yes, your potential height is determined by your genes but your actual height is determined by environmental factors—like you! Poor nutrition, exposure to toxins, and poor physical conditioning are just a few factors that can cause you to be shorter than your potential height! I thought I was tapped out at 5’7” but I now stand at 5’11” (no shoes!) thanks to a revolutionary Natural process that increases your actual height up to 4 inches or more in as little as 6 months!
So How Did I Beat Mother Nature?
No, you can’t just pop a pill or learn some ancient Eastern exercise that will magically add inches overnight. In fact, you really can’t “beat” Mother Nature—but you can always modify what you have today to create a better you tomorrow! But if you are looking for the magic “get tall today” pill—then please leave now because it takes two things to truly fix any problem:
1.Admitting that there is a problem
2.Being realistic about the problem and your chances of solving it
Just by finding this page means that you realize your height is holding you back and preventing you from living life to its fullest. But its unrealistic to believe that you can magically add inches without investing some time and energy. Don’t worry—I am not talking about years—but just 6 months to add up to four inches or more to your actual height! Developed in exclusive Swiss clinics, the revolutionary height modification process includes three critical elements:
* Specialized Diet
* Clinically Tested Exercises and Stretch Routines that Must Be Performed In a Specific Order That Promotes Optimal Growth
* Specially Formulated Supplements
Combine these three elements with about 6 months of determination—and welcome to a whole new world my friend where every added inch can significantly change your life—for the better!
I am definitely NOT the same person I was just 4 inches ago! I now walk into rooms without the fear of people talking behind my back. I was promoted within 4 months after raising my actual height to 5 feet 11 inches. I started my own business a few months later and I’m now engaged to a woman I couldn’t even talk to when I was just 4 inches shorter!
It Isn’t Some Pipe Dream: Exclusive Swiss Clinics Secretly Help Top Celebrities and Elite CEO’s Increase Their Height!
I’ll be honest: I should not even be telling you about my Height Now System because these exclusive Swiss clinics don’t want their secret process becoming public knowledge (otherwise, they could not charge $5,000 for their service!). In fact, I am certain that I am risking serious legal consequences when they finally discover that I am sharing their secret process with you!
But how can I possibly keep this amazing yet simple height increasing process to myself—I know ALL TOO WELL how cruel life can seem for the vertically challenged! That “politically correct” word may make being short sound like a relatively minor issue—but it certainly doesn’t change how it feels to be short.
* Are you tired of being ignored or not taken seriously by co-workers?
* Are you finally ready for “your time” when you can walk into a room full of confidence and talk to anyone you want?
* Would you finally like to have a full and exciting sex life like you’ve always heard about—but never actually experienced?
* Are you tired of “being the bigger person” and ignoring the jokes, sneers, and condescending comments?
* Would you like to walk into a job interview knowing that only your qualifications will be considered instead of worrying about your height?
* Are you fed up with being short and finally ready to do something about it?
