Photography...

I've always wanted to explore photography past basic documentation of my artwork, and this week I finally got a decent DSLR camera to do just that. I suppose you'll be seeing more "photos for the sake of photos" on this blog soon.

Above is a photo that I took long ago during my first visit to Las Vegas. When I travel to new cities, I usually visit all the landmarks that tourists typically attend to, but I also usually explore the ghetto, or run-down areas also. Because thats where I find the shit that has character, style, or attitude. And thats where I came across this dog, chilling behind the fence, with the shitty spray painted flames in the background. I took this photo with a piece of crap camera, but its still my favorite photo I've taken to date. I think what makes it is that the dog is acting like he doesn't see me. Chilling.

Some New Tatty Work...

"Kill'em all, let God sort'em out" This one went on grunt.
"Balloon Head" design was adapted from an album cover that the customer was fond of.
More micro praying hands, this time on a girls wrist.
"Believe" foot tatty. Yup.
"Live Life" were this kids first tattoos....Hard Core.

Hello,

I just stumbled across your blog and thought that you could assist me in verifying the meaning of my tattoo. I did them myself late one night a couple years back while apprenticing at a tattoo parlor.

Thanks

J. S.



First of all, the top character 苦 is upside down. Bottom characters 阿呆 means "fool, idiot".

The tattoo is very fitting & means "bitter [or suffering] idiot".

Hey,

I saw your blog on Mental Floss and thought you could help.

I have a tattoo, it's supposed to be kanji for hope, but I haven't been able to find a symbol that matches it and has the same meaning.

Actually, I haven't been able to find the symbol at all.

Is there anyway you might be able to tell me?

Thanks in advance,

Paul W.



期 means "date, period".

Good afternoon,

I found your blog by googling 'What does my Chinese symbol tattoo mean?'

I was perfectly happy that my Tattoo meant 'friendship' for over 10 years until i recently researched symbols on the Internet and discovered that mine doesn't appear to relate to which it was sold as.

Can you assist me in a true translation for my tattoo.

Thanks very much in advance.

Ian



仲 does not mean "friendship" as Ian was first informed if it is read as Chinese. When read as Japanese, 仲 (なか), it is interpreted as "relation; relationship".

I ran across your blog in the hopes that you might be able to translate my tattoo. A buddy of mine has the exact same tattoo and he got me it as a gift for my birthday. Over the years I've questioned the authenticity of the meaning and turns out he has know idea what it translates to. He told me it was kanji for "Fear No Man" , but I've looked in to it and know where can I find any similarities between what I have and what I have researched.

I would appreciate your help in translating my tattoo so I could have some peace of mind.

Thanks,

James



棺材佬 means "coffin man".

However, the middle character of 木見才 does not exist in Chinese character list.

Hello, I found your blog randomly through "stumbling" and thought I'd toss my tattoo your way. When I got it I thought it meant "calmness" (out of a book at at tattoo parlor I worked for when I was young and dumb).

A few months later, a Japanese exchange student came in and told me it meant "lonely." So I just thought it would be interesting to see if you concur. Sorry it's a little blurry (also the artist used a tattooing method to make it look "brushed on"...and it's old at this point).

Thanks,
Wendi



寂 has multiple meanings when it is used alone. When read as Chinese, it can be interpreted as "solitary". However if it is read as Japanese, it would mean "lonely".

Hey,

I was reading your blog and it very interesting. I have been having this dilemma of finding out what is the true meaning of the tattoo I got in my teen years. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million.



元氣 means "vitality", 気 in the tattoo is distinctively a variant used in Japanese.

Name
	Manager  RICK WADE   The rosters for the League’s four teams will consist of players that go undrafted in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Each year there is a surplus of players coming out of college who go undrafted. League rosters will consist of these undrafted players, specifically college seniors, who have played collegiate baseball but have no college eligibility remaining. Rookie players that were released by their team during major league spring training or during the affiliated minor league season will also be eligible for League rosters. Players will only be eligible to play in the League for one season. These eligibility rules will make this a true rookie league and the only one of its kind. The League will fill a baseball need as all major league scouts are constantly looking for a place for such players to play.
