When I was 18 (senior year of high school) I got a kanji symbol tattooed on my tail bone. It’s a fuku, which is the symbol for good fortune and luck.
And not to say that I started it or anything lol, but pretty much after I got that…the whole “Chinese/Japanese” symbol tattoo craze started…more specificallyl on the low back.
So yea I was pissed. That’s the one tattoo I have that actually means something cool to me considering the fact that I lived in japan for 2 years. It sucks because everyone is always like, “haha is that what it REALLY means?”
It’s from a necklace my dad bought me while we were living there. I brought it in to the tattoo guy and he drew it out for me.
Oh well. Pretty soon, everyone will be saying the same about girls who have them on their shoulder blades or wherever else it’s cool now. lol |

Haha, no way. I wonder if she's a scorpio too? The phoenix is one of our symbols. :)
Traditional type tats are my fave. Everything from tribal designs, to Chinese style stuff (those are my absolute fave), to the old navy/nautical designs...sparrows, etc. Ooh, and pin-up girls!
Actually my best friend and I want to get matching tats of pin-up girls...just been looking for the right design. |

And this is roughly how it's broken down
Lira is pretty straight forward translation. But Marcus is not.
I've written down the basic letter for "r" which is pronounced as "ra". In the word Marcus, the pronunciation of "ra" is short. It's like a half pronunciation when you transition from "ma" to "cu". So you gota put the curve on top of "cu" which actually means that a short "ra" exists before "cu" (the curve is called "rafaar"). In the case of Lira, the pronunciation of the last letter is actually "raa", a longer form of "ra". So you gota put the vertical line ("|") after "ra" to indicate the longer pronunciation. Marcus can also be written in another way, where you put a small line under the said letter to indicate it's short pronunciation. But that's not a very common form to write for "ra" although, that way you actually see the letter "ra" in the word. |
OMG, that's really nice of you, thanks :D
I've got some questions, but I'm posting them as soon as I get home :) |

you do know those aren't strictly correct. the hindi /sanskrit pronunciation of Jenny is unwritable. What you ve written is pronounced Janie. Even the earlier Lira, it depends whether its Li-ra or Lee-ra which decided where the 'matra' will go.
Shouldn't really do foreign languages unless they can be written exactly how your name is pronounced.
I've always wanted a barcode, but its gotten so common now. Going to get an outline of the Indian flag at the top of my back when I go to Goa in July. |
