Oh my, this must be one of the worst I have seen. I don't think it is translatable. Do you have any idea what you think it means?

That might help, but i dont hold out much hope.

When I see stuff like this I generally assume it must be an attempt at a transliteration of a name or something.

I hope it was done in Sharpie.

I have given this a go. i have, using a very large amount of supposition and guessing and with a lot of "artistic licence", come up with this. (It seemed like a challange to myself when I said it seemed untranslatable so I tried :) )

加 jia add

我 wo me

严 yan tight, close

人 ren man

其 qi its

幻 huan magical, unreal

So it could sort of, maybe mean somethign along the lines of: Add me close to a man and its magical

Now this is what I would call a loose translation, very very loose, it may not actually have any basis in reality :) , but it might help.

I agree with #4 about the characters, e.g. 威 rather than 我 and 罗 rather than 严. The last one does appear more to be the English letters ST rather than a Chinese character, but the rest of it is so poorly written that it wouldn't surprise me if it did turn out to be something.

Good point. 加威 = Javed (judging by his username) 罗人其_ = Lawrence?

Or if it's supposed to be 罗人其幻, maybe Lawrenson?
