I don't have one yet, but I've been wanting to get my son's name tattooed in Chinese on my lower back. I want something meaningful, but not obvious, if that makes sense. My husband said when I'm ready he'll go with me and maybe get another tattoo (he has 2). I'm nervous about the pain (but I've had a baby...it can't be as bad as that right?).
I also worry because I looked online to get the Chinese spelling of my son's name, and I feel like I should have someone verify it's correct before I go through with it.

I'm sure there must be a pf'er that is Chinese that would be able to verify it for you.

Anyway, I feel so relieved, happy and optimistic now, that i need to express it in every possible way...

Life is good and i am going to live it to the full... I am a goddess and I deserve no less

... And so does every woman/tPFer....

So sorry to hear about what you went through, maria, it must have been tough.

But so glad to hear that you are now feeling happy and optimistic.

Thanks, CHB... it was hard, but it belongs to the past now...
Joining tPF helped me focus on other things... the problem now is that I am hooked (both to tPF and to expensive bags)... but, at least, there is no-one at home to judge me if i buy another bag or to remind me that I ALREADY have two other bags in chocolate... I am free to buy, sell and get into debt, which is really nice... and i will never allow anyone to restrict my freedom in this regard...

In fact, i am determined to find a millionaire who will sponsor my bag addiction...

What's your son's name? Are you trying to get it to sound similar to Chinese or the meaning of the name to be Chinese? Also, do you want Mandarin or Cantonese?

jcsprstr · Apr 21st, 2008, 01:38 PM

Hi there,

I also want to get a tattoo (a small one on the back of my neck), but I'm waiting until this new ink comes out that is supposed to be permanent, but easily removable (1 laser session)... just in case I change my mind in a few years...

Anyway, thought I'd let you know about it in case you wanted to wait with me.

Is that white ink?

I have been wanting one forever, but it seems like it's hard to find someone who is willing to do it. How did they do it? What did they say when you got it?

(Hehe, sorry for being so nosy, but I do want one!!)

My son's name is Wyatt. This is the one I had picked out, the website says it's the chinese name for Wyatt. thanks for your help, and if you have any suggestions about something different using my son's name that would be great!!

toiletduck · Apr 21st, 2008, 02:32 PM

^^ It seems like Mandarin to me and it's just the phonics of "Wyatt" as there is no such name as "Wyatt" in Chinese. Whenever you are translating English names to Chinese names you are just going by the sound and not the meaning. To be truthful, the Chinese version of "Wyatt" does not have meaning at all so please think carefully about this.

If you write it in PinYin (Chinese Phonics) it is "Huai Ye De" (who-ai yeh duh) and not really how you would pronounce "Wyatt" in English.

I should also add that the characters are written in Simplified Chinese and have less strokes (and I think is less pleasing to the eye) than Traditional Chinese characters.

b00mbaka · Apr 21st, 2008, 02:38 PM

That was very interesting! Thanks for the info. But even after it comes out, you should probably still wait awhile to find out it's effects (like if it changes color after a year or something). Good Luck!

Thanks so much for your help! I should probably think about this a bit more and maybe head in a different direction...I just don't know what...

. Thanks again!!!

toiletduck · Apr 21st, 2008, 03:05 PM

No problem! I'm glad I could help

Chinese is a rather complex language with meanings behind certain characters that may look funny when paired with another...if that makes any sense!

I looked up the meaning of your son's name and it means "Son of Guy". Was there a particular reason behind then name? Perhaps you could think of an idea from there...or maybe choose a less complicated language for his name? I think it's a lovely idea for you to do something like this for your son! And no, I seriously doubt the tattoo will hurt more than giving birth! (although I've never done the latter)
