Chinese Lettering Tattoo Designs
Chinese
lettering has been widely used for millions if not
billions of tattoo designs across the ages. The reason
for this could be that often it is a word or attribute that we
wish to convey in the tattoo, but do not want to use our native
tongue, this results in many people using Chinese lettering as
they are beautiful characters and are elements of the
picturesque in the meaning that the characters
portray.
However, a word of caution, as
few people outside of China know the meaning of the letters, be
very careful of what letters you use, as they could mean
'Stupid English Girl' for all you know! Our advice to you is
check the symbol you want to have as your design with a few
sources, the best being an English to Chinese
dictionary.
Below we have listed a few of
the most popular Chinese symbols that are in circulation we
have got these from a reputable published source, so you can be
confident if you use these symbols you shouldn't have any
Chinese speakers giggling at you as you walk past! Having said
this, as with all language there are regional differences for
meaning so these symbols may not be the only ones that mean the
same thing.
