Found your Blog a few hours ago and it is just so much fun :)

This Tatoo is from my Roommate. He got it 1 or 2 weeks after he went 18. Would you please Translate it? It should be the gemini zodiac sign ("Sternzeichen Zwilling" in german), i translated that with google, i hope you know what i mean with that.

Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany :)

Hello,

I was wondering if you could tell me what this means.

Thanks!

It is complete gibberish and fooled by using this font.

subject: Does this mean hakaifuka?

I was told that hakaifuka means unbreakable. Do these symbols mean that?

Thank you!

James S.

The characters are correct, however grammatically is reversed and contextually different than English's concept of "unbreakable".

It is read as "damage / can not".

Hello, just curious to know what the symbols used here actually mean. The impression I was left with is that the middle symbol is supposed to be honour and the three symbols around it courage, loyalty, and respect. I'm wondering if that is anywhere close to correct. Thanks!

The center character, 貴, means "expensive, costly, valuable."

Hi there,

I got this tattoo about 15 years ago, I was told it meant wise/to excel, i'm kinda guessing that I wasn't too wise getting it as it probably means nothing of the sort!!!

Thanks in advance,

Ben

My friend just got this tattoo but he won't tell any of us what it means. I'm beginning to think it's just gibberish after seeing all of the older posts. Any help is appreciated!

The tattoo is grammatically incorrect translation based on word-per-word machine translation tool (e.g. Google Translate)

"Destroy / Them / Total"

"Let / Deity / Organize / Them"
