Sky's the limit Posted November 8, 2007 at 11:24 PM Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 at 11:24 PM Hey everyone I'm knew here and i wanted to get the tattoo "Sky's the limit" vertically down my tricep how ever I wanted to be smart and make sure the translation was correct. I was able to find this http://chineseculture.about.com/library/symbol/blcc_skysthelimit.htm I was wondering if this was correct and if you guys can't get to the website how would you translate it? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyongshi Posted November 9, 2007 at 02:29 AM Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 at 02:29 AM Yeah it has the meaning but sounds very unlike Chinese and how things would be said in Chinese. It's understandable but it doesn't sound good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
