New Members s7eff Posted April 7, 2011 at 09:11 PM New Members Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 at 09:11 PM OK, first I want to apologize for posting that kind of topic in your forum, but I really can't find the meaning of the symbol and I can't write in chinese, so there's no way for me to use a translator. I read the rules for posting in this section of the forum and I hope that you'll answer my question despite it's violating the rules. Thank you for your attention. Now the symbol http://img852.imageshack.us/f/img3239.jpg/ I had this tattoo done a couple of years ago and I was told that it means "Satan". However I'm not very sure of th meaning, because i understand that tattoo artists tend to make up symbols and their meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbradfor Posted April 8, 2011 at 02:04 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 at 02:04 AM I believe it's trying to be 魔鬼. Not the best writing, IMHO, but not horrible. The usual translation I see for 魔鬼 is closer to "devil". It's not really exactly the same as "Satan" (which is really more of a Christian concept), but it's not too far off. P.S. Which rule did you think you were breaking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted April 8, 2011 at 02:36 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 at 02:36 AM but not horrible. I would disagree. The proportions are all off and it basically looks like it's been scrawled by a 2-year old. The meaning is what jbradfor said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guoke Posted April 8, 2011 at 03:44 AM Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 at 03:44 AM Isn't a 魔鬼 supposed to look horrible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members s7eff Posted April 8, 2011 at 06:19 AM Author New Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 at 06:19 AM So you people say that my tattoo actually means something close to Devil which is quite satisfying because it might have been "shoe" or something like this. I'm so glad to know! For some time i really thought that it might be some gibberish. About the rule ... I guess i misread them last night, because i was sleepy. Thanks pretty much again!!!
