This is supposed to mean passion. I don't think it does. In fact, i couldn't locate this configuration of radicals at all. What are your thoughts?

It means "hot, middle", which does not mean "passion".

This tattoo also reminded me the terrible hip-hop song by Nelly, Hot in Here.

Tribal Chest Tattoo
Black color has its own relevance in the tribal chest tattoo designs. It's the black ink that doesn't let the tribal chest tattoo die (fade) easily. It's due to its inimitable designs that these tattoos are still in demand. The most common found tribal chest tattoos exhibit Maori designs, Eskimo totems and Aztec sun clocks and the range is unending. Besides these, tribal chest tattoo designs are created with heavy lines and different hues. Tribal chest tattoos, which are well liked for their designs, are originated from Maori, Haida, Polynesian and Native American designs. What differentiates Tribal chest tattoos from other ones is its history of body decoration. Tribal Chest tattoos symbolize relationship shared between people in a group, family, social, etc. One can go for attractive, dazzling yet exceptional tribal chest tattoos in any season on any part of the body. He or she would bring himself on the brink of risk if by chance a tattoo is wrongly done or placed on his or her body.

Combination of Traditional Tattoos with Tribal Tattoos
The unique combination of traditional tattoos with tribal tattoos has made it more popular among tattoo lovers. There are different well-accepted ways available in which a traditional tattoo can be combined with a tribal tattoo to lure a tattoo lover. It's really amazing to see that how a tribal tattoo develops over a period of time once it is carried on the body. Some of the most common ways of combining traditional tattoo with Tribal tattoos are: traditional tattoo may float above a line on the tribal tattoo or it may be located in the middle of the line. Tribal tattoo is easily synonymous with sharp points and angles. Another way which is quiet famous among people is surrounding the traditional tattoo with tribal tattoo. While looking deeply at the design you would come to know that it is actually the tribal design that tends to form an image. Undoubtedly, it is the creativity and the uniqueness in the tribal tattoo designs that have brought it in vogue. Sometimes, tattoo artists make an abstract tribal design combined with Celtic Tattoos. So, what are you waiting for, get ready for a colorful tribal designs incorporated with traditional tattoos to get a funny yet cool image.

Popularity and Beauty of Rose Tattoos

2010-08-30T07:22:00.000-07:00

Beauty of Rose Tattoos

Who does not love a rose and find it simply and stunningly beautiful? Maybe men might consider themselves too masculine to wear one of these flowers tattooed on their bodies, but, women swear by it.

Rose tattoo designs are easily the most beautiful and hence, the most popular of all the tattoo designs, at least among women. Rose is the universal symbol of pure love, especially in the west and symbolizes everything that is beautiful with the world.

The beauty of a rose cannot be described enough with man made words, so at least its beauty, though not completely, can be captured within the realm of a tattoo.

This flower is perhaps, the most beautiful and royal among all the flowers, and rightfully so, what with those soft hues and gracefully and royally scattered petals. Every color of it is an expression of a positive human emotion. A red rose expresses love, yellow ones symbolize joy, a white one is for reverence, a light pink one expresses admiration and also sympathy while an orange rose symbolizes enthusiasm.

Beauty of Rose Tattoos

Rose tattoo ideas can be designed in countless styles and colors and almost all the tattoo artists in the world would be well versed in inscribing those, thanks to the countless demands for rose tattoo designs that they oblige to.

Beauty of Rose Tattoos

Just by looking at a rose tattooed on you or on someone else fills you with an inexplicable positive vibe and you simply can not help but admire the simple, yet regal beauty that it exudes. That is the power of a rose and all that it stands for. Rose tattoos are simple, yet the most beautiful and no one can deny that.

A rose has long since inspired and awed lovers, artists and saints through its divine beauty, fragrance and aura that surround it.

subject: Kanji translations

Hey there! I totally LOVE your blog!

ok, so I have 2 different Kanji tattoos. I researched them myself, and was after the Japanese meanings of the characters. I didn't trust a tattoo shop book for either one. The fire/Ice tattoo is supposed to me "to be devoted". The kanji is composed out of the negative space. I was after a verb form, and I am most worried about this one.

Tell me I did it right!! Otherwise, back to the needle I go!

Thanks,

A

Granted this tattoo intended to be read from Japanese perspective, but 沒頭 literally means "no head" in Chinese, in other words "lack of common sense".

Alan has the following to add:

The tattoo is evidently 没頭る, which appears to be a "slangy" way of writing the Japanese verb "hamaru" which in itself is a slang way to say "be a fan of," "be absorbed in" or maybe "be devoted to" something like a rock band or a manga or some other pop culture phenomenon.

Originally, the verb hamaru was written 嵌る or 填る (or sometimes ハマる), but evidently due to the influence of the noun 没頭 [bottō], which means "devotion to" or "absorption in" something, people started writing the word like 没頭る but still pronouncing it hamaru. Perhaps one reason why people started writing the word with these new characters is because both of the old ones 嵌 and 填 were removed from common use in Japanese.

This use of different characters to write words is called 当て字 (ateji) in Japanese. These 当て字 can be used on a whim and there are no particular rules except what becomes popular.

Without common sense, indeed!

I stumbled across your blog and have had a great time reading it!!

My husband is an unfortunate teenage tattoo victim. He very proudly displays this tattoo on his shoulder blade which he swears means "dragon". However I've looked up the character for dragon and it is nothing like his tattoo!

Does his tattoo have any meaning or is it an attack of gibberish?

Thank you!

Sarah

辰 represents the fifth zodiac year which happens to be "the year of dragon", not the actual dragon. However the tattooed character has an unnecessary extra bit at left upper corner.

Dragon is typically 龍 (or 龙) in Chinese, and 竜 in Japanese.

subject: A promise to my Mom

Hi,

I got this tattoo to honor my Mom after she died from early onset Alzheimer's. At the time, I went back to school while I took care of her and got a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The location has a special meaning to me and the characters were written for me by one of my teachers.

The two characters are supposed to read "Ma Carol" and the squired symbol then makes it Ma Ma and Carol Carol (my Mom's name and my middle name). Also, I believe the characters can be read as "path" and "promise" as in I promised to help care for others on my new path as a healer.

However, I'm embarrassed to say I've forgotten which character is which and also want to find about about other possible interpretations.

Thanks in advance,

Maija M.

Top character 媽 is correct for "mother".

However tattooed character is not 路, which means "road / path".

Cute Tattoo Ideas For Girls

2010-08-24T17:24:00.000-07:00

Looking for cute tattoos for girls? Cute designs can really make a girl more sexy. Let me now share some cute tattoo ideas for girls, and give some tips about what to look after, and the where and how when looking for cute girly tattoos.

One of the first things to consider is the location of your tattoo. It is important to remember that if you want to work in a formal environment it may not be a good idea to have a large tattoo that will be seen by your potential boss. Good tattoo locations for cute tattoos are on the ankle, stomach, neck, wrist or lower back. Tattoos on the lower back are also known for being very sexy. Some locations are more painful and expensive than others to get tattooed on, so keep this in mind when deciding on the location for your tattoo.

Next, you should choose what kind of artwork you want. For cute tattoos, popular choices are flowers, stars or hearts. It is also important to know the meaning behind the tattoo you will be getting. There have been cases where artists have been caught giving tattoos with unwanted meanings or misspelled foreign characters.

When it comes to the size of the piece I recommend a small one if it's your first. That way, you will know whether you can withstand the pain of getting a bigger tattoo later. Small tattoos are also not that expensive to remove if you later regret getting tattooed.

To find the best and cutest tattoos for girls you should take advantage of online tattoo galleries. There are plenty of designs that have been made that you can choose from and bring to your local tattoo studio.
