what does my tattoo really translate to in english?

[kcaza]

Can someone please tell me what my tattoo really says? Please translate it to english if you can.

[langxia]

Not translatable to English as it doesn't say anything in Chinese.

[陳德聰]

To me it says "turtle farting prickly tree", but only when I read it with one eye covered.

[Lu]

It's 果 (fruit, result) with a few meaningless extra dots that make it into a non-existent character. Or possibly it was meant to say 楽, which is the Japanese version of 樂 which means music or joy. But it doesn't actually say 楽, unfortunately.

Made my day :rofl:

Why do I need to be covered for you to read it?

[kcaza]

Oh my goodness, thanks a lot. I will be getting it covered up soon. I didnt think it said what it should have. Thanks everyone. Dumb mistakes on my behalf. I know now to do my research first.

[imron]

Why do I need to be covered for you to read it?

So you don't spoil the answer for him before he's had a chance to read it.

[lingo-ling]

I saw it as a hybrid of 楽 and 果. Happy fruit?

[Chris1414]

Does this mean anything?

[imron]

克.  Most commonly it means gram.

[jbradfor]

And frequently to transliterate names.  your name isn't Mike?  Or chocolate?

[lingo-ling]

Ke... it means to overcome. Or a phonetic for the sound "ke".

[roddy]

kcaza, what was yours meant to be? If you tell us we can maybe tell you where it went wrong...

[Chris1414]

It was meant to mean "Overcome". It would be great if this is true..

[lingo-ling]

It does mean overcome. And if your name is Chris, you're in luck... it's also the first character in the Chinese word for Chris.

[imron]

It does mean overcome.

It can mean overcome in some contexts.

Okay guys, let's try this one. What does my tattoo translate to? I've been told that the top two characters were Mandarin? When they were suppose to be Japanese. I have confidence that third character on the bottom is "KA" in Japanese, "Strength". Which is only HALF of what I can translate properly. PLEASE HELP! I may need to do some serious $$$$ to remove if they don't mean what I'm hoping they do. Thanks in advance. [i FILLED IN THE OUTLINE SO THAT THE CHARACTERS CAN BE READ MORE CLEARLY] Again, thank you.

^{Re #18, It means imagination -> http://www.mdbg.net/chindict/chindict.php?page=worddict&wdrst=1&wdqb=%E6%83%B3%E5%83%8F%E5%8A%9B}

[lingo-ling]

Yup. 想像力 means "imagination" in both Chinese and Japanese.
