Theo Moore Posted March 14, 2005 at 01:57 PM Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 at 01:57 PM Nobody has commented on my other question though. Is there a 4-5 character translation for "footprints in sands of time"? Skylee, I was also interested on why you thought the calligraphy was ugly. http://transname.com/tattoomain.html#design1 These were the styles I chose from, and I chose "grass", which I thought was more attractive than fluid (and unique!). http://transname.com/gallery.html :: The bottom right one on the arm is done with the same style.

skylee Posted March 14, 2005 at 02:19 PM Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 at 02:19 PM There is no reason. I think it is ugly. I think styles 1, 2 and 8 are better (if I had to choose from those styles, that is). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Moore Posted March 16, 2005 at 10:52 PM Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 at 10:52 PM Looks like I'll get the characters written up soon. The tat will be a forget-me-not flower, perhaps similar to this one: along with either: 莫失莫忘 - Do not lose, do not forget 生命足迹- Life's footprints 毋忘我 - Chinese name for flower Which one is your favorite?

jsku Posted March 17, 2005 at 02:05 AM Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 at 02:05 AM Very nice........very feminine. Sorry I misinterpreted your requirement. It's the Yin and Yang thing, I guess..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted March 18, 2005 at 10:23 AM Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 at 10:23 AM I like 莫失莫忘 as a tattoo. But if you ask me that is very ugly. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Moore Posted March 18, 2005 at 10:47 AM Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 at 10:47 AM I kinda like that style, but I'm not a big fan of the characters used for "do not". Does anybody have various font types, so I can see what the character looks like with different styles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theo Moore Posted March 18, 2005 at 12:12 PM Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 at 12:12 PM You know, I really don't like the characters for "do not". It looks like stick figures. I like the font on the bottom right of this picture (on the arm) Can some of you recommend some (hopefully free) font packs that can render some better characters?

39degN Posted March 18, 2005 at 02:54 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 at 02:54 PM all the works are EIGHTH-rated calligraphy exept the 死里逃生 and 尊重ones. I'm too sorry to those ppl's bodies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted March 18, 2005 at 03:09 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 at 03:09 PM all the works are EIGHTH-rated calligraphy exept the 死里逃生 and 尊重ones. I agree. Only the top-left and the bottom-left ones are acceptable. But hey, Theo, it is what YOU think that is important. Go ahead with the style you like.

39degN Posted March 18, 2005 at 03:13 PM Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 at 03:13 PM some basic introduction of calligraphy. I think the Lishu for tatoo would be cool... http://www.chinavista.com/experience/calligraphy/calligra.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39degN Posted March 19, 2005 at 06:13 PM Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 at 06:13 PM I'm sorry but I'm afraid the pic was deleted, since we can't upload files here, I uploaded it onto another non related site(I can't upload file to my own site right now for a reason), and now I can no longer visit there, my guess is that the M banned my IP... I'm too sorry, I would send you it by email if you wish... or perhaps you or somebody else can help me with uploading it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
