subject: A youtuber's tattoo
I was watching some tattoo videos on youtube, and this lady seems to think this tattoo is her star-sign, Aries. What does it actually mean? She also joked people say it means "egg fried rice", so it will be amusing if it's actually something along those lines.
absolutely love your blog, by the way <3
It is absolute meaningless gibberish based on this font!
It's rather unfortunate that a spur of the moment decision to get a tattoo ends this way. There is no way that a randomly chosen Chinese character will ever represent a letter of the English alphabet to spell out an English word. Aries would be more correctly written as 白羊座. I'm glad that she's happy with her tattoos and doesn't seem to care what others think, but it's too bad she will have to keep convincing herself it means "Aries" when it's really an unintelligible string of characters.
