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/Cǎoshū (=the flowing cursive style of calligraphy). Is not even Gyousho/Xíngshū (=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/Kǎishū 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 (真愛 = true love) written in Kǎishū style (Kǎishū means "regular writing" in Chinese; I don't use the japanese term - Kaisho - because 真愛 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.

Don't believe this guy - he has no idea what he's talking about:)

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 (芸) means "art, performance, talent, technique, acting" and the second one (者) means "person". If we put these two Kanji together we get the world-wide known word 芸者 (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.

When a Kanji/Hanzi tattoo spokes for itself

Recently, while I was looking for some stupid tattoos to make fun of them I've found this little gem:

First of all, the tattoo is pretty ugly, but this is just a little problem. The real problem is his meaning. The owner claims that this Hanzi means "friend" or "friendship" but it's real meaning is "disgraceful" or "ugly" (俦 - "friend, mate" and 醜 - "ugly" are homophones).

Do you see the irony here? This dude went to a tattoo parlor to get a nice Hanzi Tattoo and got instead a hideous tattoo which means ugly :)) At least, this poor tattoo is a honest one. And, besides, the real beauty comes from within :))

Yes, it's correct. But it's weird.

Recently I've found this strange Kanji/Hanzi tattoo on tattooshunt.com:

Kanji/Hanzi tattoo which means bottle/vase???

I don't get it. This Kanji/Hanzi (which, by the way, is properly written) means jug/vase/jar/bottle - and so on... Unlike most ideograms, this one has no secondary meaning; it simply means recipient for liquids and nothing more. So, why would anyone get such a tattoo on his body?

My tattoo-designs: the latin aphorism Carpe Diem

Hello, everyone! Since I've written a lot about butterfly-tattoos in the last 2-3 months, today I'd like to present you one of my favourite tattoo-designs. In this tattoo-design I have combined some tribal elements with the famous latin aphorism "Carpe Diem" - Seize the day (read more on this theme here and here. In the middle of the tattoo is depicted a butterfly - a symbol of both beauty and ephemerality of life (for more information on the symbolism of Butterflies read this post)

Butterfly tattoos: How big should they be?

Butterfly tattoos are a good choice for a first tattoo because the design doesn't need to be big to be striking. A small butterfly tattoo (life sized or smaller) on an ankle or shoulder can be a pretty and graceful accent to your natural beauty. These tattoos vary in sizes depending upon the body part you want to get it tattooed (usually, the butterfly-tattoos placed on the nape or behind the years are the smallest, those placed on the wrist/ankle/abdomen are medium-sized tattoos, while the lower back/upper back butterfly tattoos are usually larger, more stylised butterfly images).

Big butterfly design. Unless you want a lower-back tattoo, it's better to avoid a big butterfly tattoo. Butterflies are usually small, delicate, and beautiful creatures and trying to blow them up into mega insects doesn't always work. If you really want a huge butterfly tattoo you should consider a swarm of butterflies instead one giant butterfly.

Small butterfly design. Sometimes we can see some tiny butterfly tattoos that look more like mosquito-tattoos than beautiful butterflies. A butterfly tattoo should be large enough to highlight the brilliant design of the butterfly's wings; going to small is definitely a good way to ruin your tattoo.

Conclusion: lean towards a smaller sized butterfly as opposed to something big, but don't make it tiny! Play around with different small sizes and you should see the correct size "pop out" at you when the proportion is correct, and the detail is present.
