Lately I've seen more and more articles trat promotes the Uv-reactive tattoos and even the (in)famous "glow-in-the-dark" tattoos. It's true that these two kinds of tattoos are extremely spectacular, but before decide for one of them you should be aware about the possible side-effects of these peculiar tattoo-inks (on the other hand, there is no such thing as an 100% safe tattoo-ink; even the ink used for the temporary-tattoos presents risks for your health).

If the tattoo is meant to last only for one night you might consider getting a fluorescent-tattoo drawn with an alcohol-based ink, which is temporary, can be easily removed, it's cheap, it's pretty spectacular, it doesn't heart and carries fewer health risks than the fluorescent tattoos (not to mention the health risks carried by the phosphorescent tattoos).

I've got some openings for: 16, 22, 24 Oct and 5th (Remember remember the 5th of November...) 12, 14, 19, 26, Nov. Who wants to get tattooed?


A Dragon Koi with other koi fish. This is a cover up.








Here is a project that I've been working for like 3 years with long breaks in between. (The lotus above is not mine)










It has been a while since I've post my last works here. So here they are the projects I have been doing in last couple of months.

This was chalenging after working only in color so long.




This one is not ment as  acommertial or anything like that:

I know that in my last post I've said that I'll stop writing about the moronic articles posted on creativefan, but this time they went to far. Let's watch the image below:


As you can see, Mrs Kaylee Smith claims that "It is common for people to get their body parts inked with Chinese characters to show their love for the language." I suppose that it is also common for some people who love to exhibit their ignorance to claim that the KOREAN LETTERS are Chinese characters:)))

Hi, everyone! In this post I'll continue to highlight the errors that I've found in this absolutely ridiculous article.


Let's take a look at the picture above. This ideogram (loyal, loyalty, fidelity, faithfulness, devoted) is one of the most common chinese/japanese ideograms. Instead, Mrs Kaylee Smith (the author of the article) has nothing to say about this ideogram, except the fact that it has "a striking resemblance to a human face". It's obvious that the so-called "expert" has absolutely no idea about the significance of the ideogram (which, I repeat, is a very simple and a very well known one).


"...the love bond between sisters"?? Another wrong translation. In fact, first ideogram means "little sister" and the second ideogram means "forever", so the meaning of these two ideograms taken together could be something like "little sister forever"?? (I don't know this word and I couldn't find it in any dictionary).


"tattoo with the Chinese symbol and an year name in digits"??? Huh? Thit does not make much sense, right? Anyway, the ideogram means "tiger", not "Year of the Tiger".


A pretty ugly Kanji/Hanzi tattoo, some misspelled strokes, bla, bla, bla, this time I won't pay attention to details, because we have a huge translation-mistake here. Let's see what Mrs K.Smith says about the meaning of the ideograms: "Chinese symbols for luck, respect and strength". Oh, really? Where? On the first (horizontal) line we have "respect". On the second line we have "luck, fortune". But where could be the word which means "strength"?


And the last, but not the least mistake (the last because I got tired reading stupid article and comments, not because there wouldn't be other mistakes on creativefan). Mrs Kaylee says: "This triangular Chinese symbol series stands for mother, brotherhood and supermarket." C'mmon, Kaylee, "supermarket"??? Before seeing this post I was convinced that Mrs Kaylee is a very shallow person. Now, I doubt that she is a real person at all.

Recently, while I was looking for some ridiculous tattoos to make fun of them I've found this little gem on ratemyink.com:


The person who posted the photo says about this tattoo: My best friend did this one. It means I Love You in Japanese. (see the picture above).

Well, she is wrong, and I'll briefly explain why:
1. The ideogram is poorly written and is missing several strokes
2. "shiteru" is written with Katakana, but it should be written with hiragana (read this article on wikipedia if you want to know more about the differences between Hiragana and Katakana.)
3. The Kana characters should be written on the same line
4. The first character written in Katakana (shi) is missing two strokes, so it's not the "shi" character anymore, it's "no". This mistake transforms the phrase from "ai shiteru" (I love you) in the moronic phrase "ai no teru", which means "The tell of love" (tell = type of archaeological mound created by human occupation and abandonment of a geographical site over many centuries).

Despite the many positive reviews which can be seen on the Internet (see the PrintScreen below), this tattoo is not a "cool Hanzi tattoo" or a "Chinese symbol tattoo" or a "cool wrist tattoo" or anything else of this kind. In fact this is nothing else than another failed Kanji/Hanzi tattoo drawn by someone who doesn't know anything about Chinese/Japanese writing.

And definitely this deformed ideogram does not mean "bike", as some people think, despite the fact that the ideogram is so poorly written that it looks more like a severely damaged bike rather than the original ideogram (? - Chinese pronunciation:"ch�ng", japanese pronunciation:"naru/nasu/joo/sei"; meaning: "to finish / to complete / to accomplish / to become / to turn into / to change into"). In the image below you can see what this ideogram should look like:

In the end I have a piece of advice for the guy who wear this tattoo: dude, if you want to be the change or to be a part of the great change (as your tattoo suggests), you should start the change with this ridiculous tattoo.

If you are looking for inspiration for a Hanzi/Kanji tattoo you should avoid this website: creativefan.com and especially the articles written by "kayleesmith". This person has absolutely no idea about Chinese/Japanese writing system, but this didn't stop her to write an article full of ridiculous opinions and meaningless advices, with the stated goal of making "you more informed about the subject" (see the printscreen below).


Now, after we've seen the introduction, let's see what is wrong with this article:

meaningless Hanzi tattoo
Creativefan says about this tattoo: "Twin chinese symbols". No way, first character means "place, location" or "banquet, classifier for banquets" and the second one means "dog".


hanzi tattoo fails
Creativefan says about this tattoo: "Chinese symbol for bike". Nope, this is just a a horrible variant of the chinese character ? (ch�ng) which means "to finish / to complete / to accomplish / to become / to turn into". The comment written by Mrs/Ms Kaylee is a clear proof that she doesn't even have basic knowledge of Chinese/Japanese language, because ? is one of the most important Hanzi/Kanji and is used in hundreds of different common words. On the other hand, this ideogram is so poorly written that it looks more like a severely damaged bike rather than the original ideogram.


Kanzi tattoo on the nape
Creativefan says about this tattoo: "This tattoo, created on the center of the back, is a Chinese symbol for horse which is looking cute" No, is just the British/American name "Mark" transcribed in Chinese


failed kanji tattoo
This Hanzi/Kanzi is missing several strokes, but the author of the article didn't notice it. Read more about this tattoo here


failed - meaningless kanji / hanzi tattoo
What?? "hard-pressed/to be troubled/to be worried" + "personal/private" +"beautiful". It has no sense at all. So, Mrs./Ms. Kaylee, can you explain why anyone would become "addicted" to this non-sense?


failed tattoo: kanji written upside down
First character is distorted; the second character is distorted and is written upside down. Once again, Ms. Kaylee missed the point.


failed kanji tattoo: kanji with missing strokes
The second character is poorly written and is missing a stroke, but the author of the article didn't notice. Instead, she talks about "the colorful stars"


Since there are too many mistakes in this article to be covered in just one post, I'll stop here but I'll definitely be back on this topic.

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 (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.
