This "Wife" Kanzi/Hanzi is missing several strokes. Maybe the woman who wear the tattoo feels like something is missing in her marriage :)

Yesterday I've found on creativefan.com one of the worst articles about Kanji/Hanzi tattoos I have ever read. The author of the article has absolutely no idea about Chinese/Japanese writing system, but this didn't stop him/her to write an article full of ridiculous opinions and meaningless advices. For example, let's take a look at this photo:

As you can see, there is also a short description of the image: This woman is pleased to become a wife and has got a tattoo with flowers to express her happiness and pride. Yeah, sure. But it seems to me that she want to express not only her happiness and pride but also her ignorance, because the Hanzi/Kanji is missing several strokes. For a comparison look at the image below (I know, it isn't a particularly good looking ideogram, but at least, it is properly written).

What possibly could be wrong with this tattoo?

What possibly could be wrong with this tattoo (Gemini Symbol in Chinese/Japanese characters)?

Nothing is wrong with it. Except that the characters are really ugly. And the artist person who drawn this tattoo mess has absolutely no idea about the bish�n/hitsujun rules (the order in which the strokes of a Chinese character are written). And the two components of the first ideogram do not resemble each other, as would be expected since the ideogram which means "dual/set/pair/twin". And the second character looks more like a distorted swastika than a depiction of the "?" Hanzi/Kanji. And the third character has no resemblance with the Kanji/Hanzi for "constellation (?). And the entire tattoo is hideous. Besides all these, there is nothing wrong with this tattoo doodle.

Swallow

A pic before how it looked after few laser treatments:

And after I puted a Swallow on it

This is NOT a Kanji / Hanzi tattoo. This is just a doodle.

Another hideous tattoo:

The two "items" which can be seen in the picture above could hardly be called "Kani" or "Hanzi". This is not Sousho/Caoshu (=the flowing cursive style of calligraphy). Is not even Gyousho/X�ngshu (=the semi-cursive style of calligraphy). In fact, it isn't cursive at all. And no one could ever say that these two characters are written in Kaisho/Kaishu style (=regular writing).

And, to make things worse, the second character is missing several strokes.
In conclusion, this is just a doodle. A mirrored doodle, to be more precise.

For comparison, in the image below you can see the same word (?? = true love) written in Kaishu style (Kaishu means "regular writing" in Chinese; I don't use the japanese term - Kaisho - because ?? has a different meaning in Japanese - it doesn't mean "true love", it's a feminine name).

Chinese writing: true love. This image belongs to www.tattoo-rose.com

Butterflies tattoos: locations on the body for a butterfly tattoo

A butterfly tattoo can be placed everywhere on your body. Here are some popular locations for this kind of tattoo:

- in the lower-back: due to his symmetrical form, a butterfly design is considered a very suitable tattoo for this area; in this case it can be combined with various tribal elements
- on the wrist. The wrist is a perfect place, especially if you want a small tattoo. In this case the butterfly design can be combined with a bracelet tattoo
- on the ankle. Here, the tattoos can be hidden or shown depending on the occasion or your mood of the day. It can be integrated in a bigger tattoo (usually a floral tattoo) or can be used together with an ankle-bracelet tattoo
- upper arm and shoulder: these locations are preferred by men. A tribal design is very appropriate for these locations
- back: the back is a perfect location if you want a big tattoo
- nape: only for feminine tattoos. Ideal location for an elegant and sensual small-sized butterfly tattoo
- lower abdomen, pelvis and hip: these are some very appropriate locations if you want en erotic tattoo. Women and girls can choose a stylized butterfly, a tribal black butterfly or a coloured butterfly. For a man it'd be better to avoid a colourful butterfly in those body areas

Butterfly tattoo design for girls. A good choice for a hip tattoo or for an ankle tattoo.

Hello, everyone!
Let's take a look at the picture below:

The tattoo is OK, but the description of the image is completely wrong: first Kanji (?) means "art, performance, talent, technique, acting" and the second one (?) means "person". If we put these two Kanji together we get the world-wide known word ?? (geisha), but the person who posted the image says that the meaning of the the word is "beauty" (If you are looking for some of idea, I think this Beauty Kanji Tattoo Design is a great choice for your design idea future, so don�t forget to checkout the main page Best Kanji Tattoos Design to read the whole story. We hope these picture motivate you to be carried out for your lovely tattoo.)

Well, what can I say? It seems that on the Internet, everyone is an expert... in everything.
