I’m planning and covering up an old tatto with a sleeve but I’m just a little curious as to it’s meaning. I believe it to be phonetically what I asked for but the meaning is intriguing to me.

I couldn’t get the image to upload using the standard forum option.

@Fraser I suspect these are not actually Chinese characters. Or maybe, extremely poorly written ones?

Interested in a picture of the sleeve once it's done.

非沙 fēishā 'not sand'. As a transliteration of 'Fraser', you could do worse (the meaning is not bad or derogatory) but you should be able to do better. And yes, pretty poor calligraphy. Not a bad idea to cover this up.

Yeah, it's 非沙, I guess it's someone's name, no other meanings.

It looks like 非沙,which is not a word in Chinese. The character 非 means "not". The character "沙" stands for  "Sands".

So "not sands"?

Fraser looks to usually be 弗雷泽. Whoever did this one probably didn't know that.
