Ihor Posted February 8, 2015 at 04:57 PM Report Posted February 8, 2015 at 04:57 PM Hello everyone! Can someone please help me translating this tattoo into English? I would be really grateful Quote
Wurstmann Posted February 8, 2015 at 07:33 PM Report Posted February 8, 2015 at 07:33 PM 勇气 胜 信 courage to win to believe edit: The first one are supposed to be two characters. but they are squished together, so they look like one instead. 1 Quote
Shelley Posted February 9, 2015 at 04:42 PM Report Posted February 9, 2015 at 04:42 PM It might help the OP to know that Wurstmann has used simplified characters and the tattoo is done in traditional. Also I would like to suggest trust as an alternative for xin 信 and perhaps victory for sheng 胜 It might read a bit better, courage, victory, trust. 1 Quote
renzhe Posted February 9, 2015 at 04:52 PM Report Posted February 9, 2015 at 04:52 PM The original seems to be in Japanese Kanji, not traditional script. Quote
Shelley Posted February 9, 2015 at 05:55 PM Report Posted February 9, 2015 at 05:55 PM Well spotted renzhe, still catches me out when they are kanji and not hanzi. I did find them all in Pleco as hanzi, so I didn't think about them being kanji. Quote
li3wei1 Posted February 9, 2015 at 08:28 PM Report Posted February 9, 2015 at 08:28 PM My first thought was, why would anyone want a tattoo that said 'help' in Chinese? Quote
Tiana Posted February 9, 2015 at 09:12 PM Report Posted February 9, 2015 at 09:12 PM I guess some exploited factory workers may want to send such a message to the outside world. Quote

Damn, why did you say that, now I want to get that tattooed in Chinese Would obviously needed to be done at a visible place to confuse a maximum of people. Quote
