I was just listening to the radio and it seems that they dont even mean anything. Like there where some people that had their names done in Japanese caligraphy, unaware that it meant something totally different. eg; girl chicken, wood book, and some other jibberish. Also this caligraphy was done slopshod, meaning it looked more like a child had writen it than a true caligraphy artist ! So if an asian fellow looks at you funny after seeing your tats....

Re: Asian symbol tats
I've heard the same thing too. A buddy of mine got one on his shoulder that was supposed to mean "brothers" but when he looked it up it was totally different. lol

Originally posted by Stout1I have an "asian" style tat. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought two books. One that converted english to kanji and another one that had kanji symbols. So my shit is legit and I have had a person of asian decent come up and tell me she liked it
