Well I went to book the appointment today but then my dad saw the tattoo I wanted and said it looked stupid:rolleyes:
I just finished watching the movie Memoires of a Geisha and eally liked it and like the chinese culture alot more now and I found this tattoo. Im either going to put a dressage horse in the word or a pittie or Great Dane. And the word will probly be love. ( And this one was approved of)

I honestly cant tell the difference by thier looks or writting. I bet people from those countries think the same about American and Canadians (cant tell the difference of them either).Quote:

Japanese have three alphabets, Kanji, Katakana, and Hiragana. Kanji uses Chinese characters and there are over 10,000 characters.
I like your idea for the tattoo!
I think Japanese writing is a bit more artistic looking, in my opinion :)Quote:

Nice choice for a tattoo - hope ya get it!
Chinese:
我爱你 = I love you
Japanese:
私は愛する = I love you
I used an electronic dictionary to translate the Japanese part but I know the Chinese sentence is correct. Japanese characters are much more curvier and rounded. They're also much simpler in terms of how many strokes there are per word. I thought it was also interesting to note how similar "love" is in both languages ;)
:confused: They both are just boxes.
I'm not so big on foreign words for tattoos but I do like the idea. I like the tiger a lot. I'm thinking of getting a variation of this airbrush tat stencil on centered on my upper back (below the neck)

I also think I want a cougar somewhere.
That would look really cool!Quote:

I had a few options that I went in with, but the artist told me because of the detail on the tiger it's difficult to get a small good one. I have to admit he knew what he was talking about, I did colored so it looks almost real.Quote:
