Chinese Tattoo Symbol Check


Recommended Posts

Hi all! 
Please may someone confirm with me whether my symbols are correct for wisdom, righteousness and energy. 
TIA (:

yeah theyre all basically right...

 

They're not symbols, they're characters.

 

Also be aware if you're planning on lining these up next to each other, the meaning will change: 義氣 actually means something more like 'loyalty'. 

 

If you're going to get a tattoo in Chinese, why not learn a bit of Chinese. if you're not interested and just want symbols, why not choose some actual symbols, not words that all the billion+ people living in China can all read but you can't.

 

If you are learning Chinese already, that's great, keep studying and maybe choose your tattoo a bit later down the line when you know more about the language and will have many more choices available.

Ah yes, I am aware. 
However, all these things still represent a form of natural or vital energy to me- so I love it even more!

Then do not get a Chinese character tattoo. Get a nice piece of calligraphy with these characters and hang it on your wall. It will look pretty, it's something that is actually appropriate in Chinese culture (unlike tattoos), you can look at it every day, and you will never end up mocked on hanzismatter.
