New Members Fraser Posted March 11, 2018 at 02:47 PM New Members Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 at 02:47 PM 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. https://m.imgur.com/a/bkpmy I couldn’t get the image to upload using the standard forum option.

edelweis Posted March 11, 2018 at 07:39 PM Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 at 07:39 PM @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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted March 11, 2018 at 08:00 PM Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 at 08:00 PM 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irene001 Posted March 22, 2018 at 01:28 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 at 01:28 AM Yeah, it's 非沙, I guess it's someone's name, no other meanings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Members Daniel Wdong Posted April 4, 2018 at 06:59 AM New Members Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 at 06:59 AM 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"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted April 4, 2018 at 08:53 AM Report Share Posted April 4, 2018 at 08:53 AM Fraser looks to usually be 弗雷泽. Whoever did this one probably didn't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
