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.
