Chinese Character Translation

jayb55, do you mean the like of you and me will soon disappear!?? :wink:

Anyway, below is one version of "only the strong survive":

生存的是强的

(PS: just noticed some people posted more flowery, better versions while I was typing, so I'd recommend either of them. Mine is ordinarily colloquial)

Do yourself a favor, Jeremy, just tattoo "only the strong survive" in English instead. This will tell anyone who sees it that you are not one to fall victim to passing fads, that you know better than to get a tattoo in a language you do not understand. Also, if you go to Asia, a tattoo in English will be considered more cool.

And when you surf over to Hanzi Smatter later, you will feel it was the right thing to do.

Probably one should throw a look at the Chinese translation of Charles Darwin's evolution book and see what the translation of 'survival of the fittest' is in Chinese.

The Origin of Species (1872)

Chapter IV: Natural Selection; Or the Survival of the Fittest
