No idea what I even had done 15 years ago. Honestly no clue any help? 

I think was meant to be my initials.

This guy told me his tattoo (老彼了我孩）means I'm always looking after my boys.























What is this hodgepodge of "old, that, me/my, child"?!

Hi Tian,
This is intended to say "passion". Can you tell me how it actually translates?

Thanks
JP

情绪 does not mean "passion", rather "mood, moodness".

Both 情 and 绪 have been split into two separate radicals.

I have a feeling that this is gibberish, but I'd like some confirmation that I truly DID make a huge mistake in judgement 16 years ago. 

My initials. "M" "C" "G" 

Thanks, 

Mark G.


Yep, it is gibberish using this font.

Tian can you tell me what this means. Feel free to blog it, my email omitted? thanks

Top character is upside down 物, followed with poor attempt at "free spirit" with 無料精, although 無料 means "free; no charge", with is completely different context.

It does not even look like "Lisa" from that gibberish font.

Hello, My boyfriend got this tattoo a while ago, he initially thought it meant "freedom". After a trip overseas we had a strange interaction with a tourist after he saw it- but he was unable to tell us what it meant.. Are unable to help us?! 

Cheers
