angel_eyes1985 Posted June 9, 2008 at 08:51 PM Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 at 08:51 PM hey, thanks for even thinking about helping me! at a much younger age i-in my wisdom-decided to get some tattoos, i very much regret them now but would love to know what the mean, i have three on one shoulder and two on the other... this is the link to the one with three, i realise the bottom two look very similar but half way through the bottom one the tattoist realised that he had done the same one twice and had to try and cover it up!! (no i'm not joking, nor was i amused!!) thanks for your help (in advance!) aimee http://aa.bebo.com/aa/large/2005061517/4594075a10031936b356143708l.jpg if you cannot get to this then please email me and i will email you back with the picture.

HashiriKata Posted June 10, 2008 at 05:02 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 at 05:02 AM Hi angel_eyes1985, Here are the meaning of the 3 characters you've got: 幸: Happiness 信: Faith 悟: Enlightenment The bottom one is interesting because it means "enlightment/ realisation (especially after having been on the wrong path)", and therefore goes well with your little story: the bottom two look very similar but half way through the bottom one the tattoist realised that he had done the same one twice and had to try and cover it up!!

rezaf Posted June 10, 2008 at 05:29 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 at 05:29 AM maybe it was supposed to be 恬=tranquil？ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studentyoung Posted June 10, 2008 at 05:44 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 at 05:44 AM maybe it was supposed to be 恬=tranquil？ It looks like "恬", but, in my opinion,it is a typo. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugi Posted June 10, 2008 at 07:59 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 at 07:59 AM It looks like "恬", but, in my opinion,it is a typo. The third character is almost certainly supposed to be 恬 - come on studentyoung, the tattooist is hardly likely to mis-copy 悟 as 恬 with an extra horizontal line!

liuzhou Posted June 10, 2008 at 09:36 AM Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 at 09:36 AM the tattooist is hardly likely to mis-copy Ha Ha! Look around this board and others. Tattooists are always miscopying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel_eyes1985 Posted June 10, 2008 at 10:23 AM Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 at 10:23 AM hi again, thank you so much for your speedy replies!!!! i thought that one meant happiness but the other two-esp the bottom one were a complete mystery and after reading a lot of the posts on here last night i was very very worried what it could be!!! i'm just trying to dig out a picture of the ones on my right shoulder which i believe to mean 'eternity' however, again I am a bit worried!! thankfully all my other tattoos since have been in English and in a nice script-with age comes (some) wisdom!!! thanks again for your time, i really really appreciate it Aimee xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tattooists are always miscopying. liuzhou, you should consider working as a political spindoctor, what with taking my comment out of context and ignoring the fact that the tattooist seemed to get the other characters spot on ...
