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 have to admit he knew what he was talking about, I did colored so it looks almost real.Quote:

Using IE? Go to View on the tool bar click and on the drop down list click on encoding; on this list click on Chinese Simplified and it will show what Giselle wrote in Chinese.
Ya but if its that big and just the outline like it is (and not much detail like it has right now) then she will be fine, some of the dots for his whiskes on his face wont be able to be done and some of the lines on the tiger. I had to have some details taken out of my first one because I wanted it a certain size too.Quote:

Do you think the size the tiger is now is too small to do the details? I just want black.
I can't wait to see the finished version of yours, Alicia!
Ya that one does look better, hope ya get it.
You might want to go a little bigger or you might loose some lines.Quote:
