New Members JRoad Posted April 29, 2014 at 12:44 AM New Members Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 at 12:44 AM Hey guys i got this tattoo (see attachment) last week but when i showed it to my friend (who speaks chinese) he told me I got the wrong symbol for "time" as what I got is actually not suitable for a tattoo. I wanna know if is it that wrong?What symbols would've been more suitable?Any way to fix it (adding a symbol for instance)? Thank you very much!!

imron Posted April 29, 2014 at 02:24 AM Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 at 02:24 AM What aspect/meaning were you hoping to express with 'time'? E.g. Time can have different meanings in different contexts, the tattoo you got says 時間, which does mean time, as the general concept of time. What you got is no more or less suitable than any other random word, it's difficult to tell if it's appropriate or if you got the right translation without knowing what you were trying to express. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the word time alone sounds a bit odd in english as well now that I think about it. Anyway thank you so much at least I know now!!! 再见 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
