This is a tattoo I've had for a number of years now. It's supposed to be the name of my Ex-wife, not sure if it does as I've searched for her name and it doesn't look like this. It's going to be covered over soon anyway but I'm interested in what I paid someone good money to tattoo on my back.

Many thanks

Chris

My husband has had this tattoo for 15 years. He thought it spelled his name, "Jeff" but then realized there is no letter alphabet. Someone finally told him the first character means "shoe" and the next 2 say "kung Fu" so it really says "Shoe. Kung Fu. Fu. " Is this accurate information? What does this really say? And do you know anything about the design and what it means?

術 skill, "JEFF" from gibberish font.

Hello,

I got this tattoo when I was 18, and it was supposed to be the letters "AJ." I have since learned that letters do not directly translate to chinese characters, so I have no idea what I have written on my body. I believe the top character may be "woman." Can you shed any light on the matter? Thank you!

"AJ" according to the gibberish font.

Hi, I noticed your blog / website and wanted to get a valid translation of my 13 year old tattoo. Last I remember, when I was young and dumb at the age of 16, it was something along the lines of prosperity.

Please advise. Thanks

Few readers have been sending me the story about a food vendor called Bing Mi! in Portland, Oregon.

The biggest gripe besides the owner is not Chinese yet selling one of the most traditional northern Chinese food item, is the fact that its signage is wrong.

Although I have no problem of the proprietor columbusing Chinese pancake wrap, but its signage is somewhat silly or a poor pun attempt.

劍兵 (sword soldier) on the sign is not associated with the delicious wrap in terms of context, rather it is the homophone of 煎餅 (Chinese pancake wrap).

Hi, this horrible tattoo was a birthday gift when I was 18.. I don't know what it actually says but it's supposed to say Love, Luck, Wealth, Wisdom.. I'm almost certain it doesn't. Please help. Thank you.
