subject: gibberish? 

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



無料 [むりょう] free; no charge.
It does not have same meaning as "freedom".

Hello! Happy New Year, btw! 
I'm writing to your from the Mother Russia itself! :) My friend made a tattoo half a year ago at one famous resort, called Sunny Beach. She was absolutely sure that the tattoo means the abbreviation of the names. 

But at once I began to doubt. And I'm really curious, does that really make no sense? 

Thank u, in advance! 

 

Yes, it is completely gibberish based on this font.

subject: tattoo mystery 

Hello: 

My name is Bill and I am writing to you from Florida. 

Recently, I've met a lady that has many tattoos. I asked her about one of them, and she embarrassingly admitted to me that having gotten it quite a long time ago (being her first one), she does not remember what it says. It is apparently a phrase of some sort written in kanji. 

I immediately recognized the first symbol as "tao", or "do" (the way/path/road), but the others are unfamiliar to me. Clearly, with So many kanji in the world, it is daunting to try to find them all. I've attached a photo of the mystery tattoo if you could be so kind as to help in translating it. 

Thank you very much, and I hope your day finds you well, 


Bill



Another sucker of the gibberish font.
