Tattoo Identification...please help!

My cousin got this tattoo and I just wanted to be sure it means what she thinks it does. LOL.

Thank you!

This is not a Chinese character as far as I'm aware.

It looks a bit like 福 which means good fortune.

[whereishunter]

I agree with fanglu. Its a very bad looking attempt of Chinese. I think that person who wrote this has no idea about Chinese characters at all, sorry

[imron]

Agree. I think it's meant to be 福 - fu, good fortune - but it's been written really badly. When getting a Chinese tattoo, it's not just enough to pick a correct word/character, you also need to get a tattoo artist who is experienced with Chinese characters and who knows what they're doing - which unfortunately was not the case here.

福

jinmeiyō kanji / 人名用漢字

[taylor04]

Yep, definatly fu 副。 Just means rich and prosper and all that. It is pretty poorly written though

[renzhe]

Yep, definatly fu 副

Definitely?

Thank you all so much!! You guys are the best.

My cousin is the black sheep of the family, very promiscuous and irresponsible. I was perusing http://ugliesttattoos.com/ and saw a bunch of tattoos that the recipient was told meant "good fortune" or "love" that actually meant "drunken slut" or "sleeps with two men at once" (LMAO) and I wanted to see if my cousin was in that category:

She's convinced that the kanji means "happiness". Are there any known (and possibly hilarious) connotations to the symbol I posted above??

Thanks again!

[lym13]

Definitely 福

What's this about it not being a Chinese character? It's clearly 福.

None that mean 'promiscuous' - sorry to disappoint. It's poorly drawn (although actually not that bad for a Chinese character tattoo, we've seen much worse), but it means what she says it means.

[jbradfor]

Well.......... In Cantonese 福 is pronounced something like "fok". Say it outloud and mangle it a bit, and that's as close as I can get to something "promiscuous" But that's quite a stretch as there are probably about 20 characters also pronounced "fok".

[Guoke]

None that mean 'promiscuous'

Don't jump to conclusions so early. Someone who enjoys 齐人之福 is definitely promiscuous.

There was a tattoo in that pic? It must have been somewhere in the middle of all the bras and panties.

[Guoke]

Forgive my nosiness, but has anyone noticed that she doesn't have a life line (生命线) on her palm? That's very rare and unusual. I wonder if that provides a clue as to why she's "the black sheep of the family".
