If I get Chinese/Japanese characters as a tattoo I would not get it from the artist. I would research it and take a picture in with me because there are so many different styles. I just wouldn't trust the artist. It does help if you already know how to read and write Japanese/Chinese.John in Covina said:One thing that I always wonder about is when someone gets the Chinese / Japanese charactors as a tat and are told it means "Double Lucky Happy Powertrip" what if the tattoo guy's lying and it actually means Broccolli Beef?

I cannot imagine how many people think their tats say Power, Strength, or Survivor, only to have "Combination #6" on their arms..
