UFC Soa Palalei's tattoo


Recommended Posts

Posted

I was just watching UFC and a contender named Soa Palalei had a tattoo on his back which I think says 武士友钦

I don't quite get the meaning that he's trying to convey. Has anyone heard of this phrase before? From what I gather, it says "samurai friend of the emperor", however I find it a bit weird.

Any thoughts?

武士友钦

武士 = samurai / warrior

友 = friend

钦 = respect / admiration

So, it seems to mean either "Samurai's friendship and respect" or "Friendship and Respect of the Samurai" or "Admirer and friend of a Samurai".

Nothing to do with Emperor or kings etc.

See ye',

I think that most people who get a Chinese tattoo don't know what the characters mean. I think it means "Admire/Respect the Warrior". At least that's the English he gave the tattooist to translate into Chinese.
