Hi,
Not sure if you still do the translations, I figured I would try. My brother says every time he goes to get food the lady laughs at him and the grandson states she won’t let him tell my brother what it means..lol

Thank you,
Lacy

Hello, I got this years ago. It's supposed to be palo made to look like chinese characters, but I think they may have other meanings. Can you help please.

Ariana Grande's new tattoo, 七輪.
She wanted it to promote and celebrate her latest single, 7 Rings.
Instead it is referencing to a type of Japanese charcoal cooking grill.
