New Members renneb Posted August 24, 2010 at 11:44 PM New Members Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 at 11:44 PM I got this tattoo 13 years ago when I was 17 years old. Its pretty blurry, and I am all but positive by now that it means nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Its kind of embarrassing to admit, but when i got this tattoo i was told that it meant, "Fear not death, but life". Help Please!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted August 29, 2010 at 03:53 AM Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 at 03:53 AM Ah, to be 17 and stupid again... I miss those days... It does vaguely look like it might be Chinese, but I can't make it out. Help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 29, 2010 at 04:35 AM Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 at 04:35 AM Looks to me like the middle three are 田の女, and I can't make out the two on the ends enough to even guess at. No guarantees that I'm right about the middle three, either (well, 女 seems fairly obvious, anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristotle1990 Posted August 29, 2010 at 01:57 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 at 01:57 PM Looks like 火田?文? -- means something like "fire, field, ?, language, ?". The thing in the middle might be some sort of symbol, not a character, and the one on the end? Maybe 吾? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted August 29, 2010 at 02:01 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 at 02:01 PM Any chance of a shave and a better photo? Can't see that it's going to come out meaning what it's meant to though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ma3zi1 Posted August 29, 2010 at 03:39 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 at 03:39 PM At really close up, I see: 犬田己文喜 (where 己 is upside-down and inverted) But that still means nothing to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted August 29, 2010 at 04:41 PM Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 at 04:41 PM Alright, so maybe 女 wasn't so obvious. After looking at it again, it does look like 文. I still don't get it. I think roddy's suggestion of a shave and better photo is the way to go here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
