However traditional version of Chinese had many of its characters missing, replaced with underscores, while the simplified version is intact.
These two t-shirts are for sale at local Target store.
Both characters printed on this Lucky Lu's Casino t-shirt are upside-down. One character is 溫, meaning "warm", and the other resembles 殿, is "temple". I have no idea what "warm temple" had any association with casino.
I have no idea what the character on the left is. One on the right is 誕, "birth".

subject: Misrepresented chinese tattoo
Hi my name is jenn I got this. Tattoo seven years ago it was supposed to say destiny in Chinese, however I've been searching online for this symbol but can't seem to find it, the destiny symbol does come close to what this looks like! In desperate need of translation help. thanx
The common phrase for "destiny" in Chinese would be 命運. Character shown here is Japanese variant of 緣, which could be interpret as "fate". If not read carefully, Chinese readers would think it is 緑, which means "green".
I painted this sign for my friend Kevin in trade for a set of custom made tattoo machines he made for me. It has silver and varigated leaf on it as well as some airbrushing and other tricks. He liked the sign, and I Love my new machines. I will post some pics of them.

I just received a new order of stickers from the printer...I Love stickers. The first two designs are new, as well as the two I created for my tattoo shop. The last design is an old one but I still have plenty left. I'm all ready working on some new designs so expect to see those out soon also. ...if anyone wants some let me know!
here's some recent cover-ups I did recently. I like doing cover-ups because it's an added challenge to hide an old tattoo while still making a good design. Usually people want the name of an old girlfriend or wife to disappear, which is ironic because sometimes I spend half my day putting names on, and the other half covering them up. The koi above is covering a heart with a name banner and flames. this panther is covering an old panther head that didn't look too good anymore this wicked 80's looking wizard is covering up some names and stars. Respect the 80's wizzzzard!

Hi
I saw your blog and was hoping you might could help me. The image attached is that of a tattoo I got years ago without researching it. A friend drew it up for me and the symbols were something she copied from a tattoo magazine she had. I'm now starting to regret it because I have no clue what the symbols actually mean. The picture isn't the greatest but hopefully you can see it clearly enough. Can you help me out please?
Thanks,
CW
I don't recognize the top character, but the bottom one resembles 草 or 革.
My gf & I both have this on our left hips. It says "promise to" b/c we made a promise to be in each others lives, no matter what happens. She is a wonderful person & I want her in my life always... regardless of our relationship.
