Yes... another tattoo translation!

Young, dumb and broke! I got this tattoo many years ago. I’m wondering if translation is correct and if it makes sense as it is written? Thanks

长子 'eldest son'

Is that what you meant? The calligraphy is pretty decent. Personally I think traditional characters usually look nicer (長子), but these are fine too. All in all, you could have done a lot worse.

Hello and welcome to the forum.

 

I think it means Eldest son

长子

 

It is pronounced zhǎngzǐ

 

Is this what you thought it meant?

 

Hope it is of help.

Thank you. Yes, I got this after the birth of my son. I couldn’t really afford to spend much on a tattoo at the time, so this is what I opted for to keep it simple and cheap. I did research on it but I didn’t really consider if it made sense or if it may have additional meaning. Thanks Lu and Shelley for your replies.

It means eldest son but I feel like a tattoo of it on you implies that you are the eldest son.

I felt the same way. Although I think I would also feel that if someone had a tattoo in English saying Eldest son.

Am I the only one who can't see a picture?

@anonymooseThe picture has disappeared, didn't notice till you mentioned, so I don't know when it went.
