"Entering Dragon's Luck"
http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A30404/high/tatoo11.jpg
The top character appears to be a miswritten 進, which is missing a horizontal stroke in the right side partial. When written correctly, the charact would mean "advance, make progress, enter".
The middle character was suppose to be 龙, which is a simplified version of 龍, and it means "dragon". Too bad it is also incorrectly written, it is missing a dot on the right upper corner.
The bottom character 祥 is correct and it means "good luck, good omen; happiness".

On the plus side, at least the characters are good and spiky. Chicks totally dig that, I'm told.
ReplyDeleteSorry to post this here, but how do I go about submitting a pic of a tattoo here to find out what it means? I don't see any links.
ReplyDeleteTry the "View my complete profile" under "About Me". The Contact info are usually posted there.
ReplyDeletewhy am I not surprised about Mr. "satanicmantis"'s lack of intellegence?
ReplyDeleteOh, wait, because his name is "satanicmantis". How pathetic do you have to be to name yourself something "bad"?
Mr. "satanicmantis", you sir are too stupid to be on the "interweb" or "internetz"...
Go practice slashing your own wrist with a rusty razor blade...
Nice slam on the idiot named himself "satanicmantis", perhaps he is a member of the "Sacrificial Grasshopper Worshipping" cult?
ReplyDeletesatanicmantis: how about sitting down with a Chinese dictionary (or just typing 'Chinese dictionary' into Google) and looking up the words you want *before* getting them permanently inked on yourself?
ReplyDeleteshi-hsia
Shi-hsia,
ReplyDeleteWhat are you doing bro? Don't give him any ideas.
I don't know about anyone else, but I would love to see what kind of idiotic crap satanicmantic is going to tattoo on himself. He deserves a lesson, otherwise the little punk will still think he is so "cool".
when did it get so rude in here? what kind of people sit around calling other people names to make themselves feel better? i was unaware this was hanzi smatter: grade school edition.
ReplyDeleteif you'd bothered to read what the person wrote, you would kno that he or she just wanted to submit a picture of a tattoo, not ask what something meant so that they could get it tattooed on themselves.
I have to agree with Andy. If you read the comments on this post and the previous one, it seems that people are just getting downright mean on this blog. When did it convert over from being a friendly place to one where we mock people's names and thoughts and ideas with outright disdain? It's very disappointing. Hopefully this is just an anomaly.

ReplyDeleteSatanicmantis wasn't even being rude.
