Basil Posted August 6, 2014 at 04:59 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 at 04:59 AM The top looks like 业 and the bottom 羊。 I can't find that character in my probably limited dictionaries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPhillips Posted August 6, 2014 at 05:03 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 at 05:03 AM Judging by the lotus image(?), whoever did the artwork meant for your tattoo to say "karma" in Chinese; in a Buddhist context the character 業 (pronounced ye4) means karma ＆ is the traditional form of 业 。 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members CamoPrincess Posted August 6, 2014 at 05:17 AM Author New Members Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 at 05:17 AM Thank you so much. Yes I asked for karma at 18 I am now 24 and questioning the meaning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imron Posted August 6, 2014 at 07:07 AM Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 at 07:07 AM Bear in mind it also means many things besides karma, see here. In modern day usage it's commonly used to mean 'business'/'industry'. It also looks like it was written by someone who didn't know how to write Chinese (though is better than some of the other examples that get posted here). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
