Translation for a Tattoo


Recommended Posts

Posted
Nobody has commented on my other question though. Is there a 4-5 character translation for "footprints in sands of time"?

:oops:

Skylee, I was also interested on why you thought the calligraphy was ugly.

http://transname.com/tattoomain.html#design1 These were the styles I chose from, and I chose "grass", which I thought was more attractive than fluid (and unique!).

http://transname.com/gallery.html :: The bottom right one on the arm is done with the same style.

There is no reason. I think it is ugly. I think styles 1, 2 and 8 are better (if I had to choose from those styles, that is).

Looks like I'll get the characters written up soon.

The tat will be a forget-me-not flower, perhaps similar to this one:

along with either:

莫失莫忘 - Do not lose, do not forget

生命足迹- Life's footprints

毋忘我 - Chinese name for flower

Which one is your favorite?

Very nice........very feminine.

Sorry I misinterpreted your requirement.

It's the Yin and Yang thing, I guess.....

I like 莫失莫忘 as a tattoo. But if you ask me that is very ugly. Sorry.

I kinda like that style, but I'm not a big fan of the characters used for "do not". Does anybody have various font types, so I can see what the character looks like with different styles?

You know, I really don't like the characters for "do not". It looks like stick figures. I like the font on the bottom right of this picture (on the arm)

Can some of you recommend some (hopefully free) font packs that can render some better characters?

I agree. Only the top-left and the bottom-left ones are acceptable.

But hey, Theo, it is what YOU think that is important. Go ahead with the style you like. :D

I'm sorry but I'm afraid the pic was deleted, since we can't upload files here, I uploaded it onto another non related site(I can't upload file to my own site right now for a reason), and now I can no longer visit there, my guess is that the M banned my IP... :oops: I'm too sorry, I would send you it by email if you wish... :mrgreen: or perhaps you or somebody else can help me with uploading it... :wink:
