My husband says his back tatto mean his mother's name (Malaquias or Altagracias, i forgot which of her two names it was). He got this in the Dominican Republic, a Spanish speaking country. So, although there is a small Chinese population there, I had to question the authenticity of it.<br /><br />Thanks so much!</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstoI01QGL92ZZsIi0CqhzyoA9oB93zZI4kgzYs8K-G7RWNozlj-aFhny9s1XoZIuHpZgN5qHGOYB9CpmJgEIPhIONxP_im-Cx6sX_wr2liQi9OnddFPSpHTuvtu5qd8JmenmKg-jGR6vB/s1600/20160708_212000.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhstoI01QGL92ZZsIi0CqhzyoA9oB93zZI4kgzYs8K-G7RWNozlj-aFhny9s1XoZIuHpZgN5qHGOYB9CpmJgEIPhIONxP_im-Cx6sX_wr2liQi9OnddFPSpHTuvtu5qd8JmenmKg-jGR6vB/s640/20160708_212000.jpg" /></a><div>

I got the following tattoo from a friend of mine who had just started learning to tattoo, he said pick something unique so I Google translated the handle if my email address in to simplified Chinese. I like it and care not a bit if it us complete gibberish, as it is still a unique tattoo. Just thought you might Like a look. Cheers</span><br />
