Chinese Tattoo Artist Translates & Designs Your Chinese Tattoo And Getting An Awesome Chinese Symbol Tattoo That You Truly Deserve   

Chinese symbols have a complex beauty as well as individual meanings. People who get Chinese tattoos are often drawn to this. Unfortunately, the flip-side is that there are a lot of Chinese tattoo Mistakes. We have seen such elementary mistakes as Chinese Symbols being tattooed backward and meant something else other than intended. Our goal is to help people explore the beauty and complexity of Chinese symbols safe in the knowledge that they are dealing with the professional. The Main reason that the western people make Chinese Tattoo Mistakes is because they use free translation either online or offline, no one guarantee the accuracy of the translation as it is free, and they take risk of getting a Chinese tattoo which may permanently embarrass them. Yes, they may get their tattoo removed, but removing unwanted tattoos is a very expensive, lengthy and painful ordeal!

About written Chinese and spoken Chinese-The Form of Chinese Tattoo:

The same Chinese character may be pronounced differently in different dialects. There are many dialects in Chinese, with the 2 major ones being Mandarin and Cantonese. Many Chinese software offer pronunication input methods for both dialects. Mandarin (also known as Putonghua) is widely spoken in many parts of China, Taiwan and Singapore, while Cantonese is prevalent in Hong Kong, southern China, Singapore and overseas. Many words sound similar in these dialects but there are more tonal variations in Cantonese than Mandarin. Our translation team is fluent in both dialects, and thus will pick a phonetic translation which will sound right in both Mandarin and Cantonese.

The Embodied Image: Chinese Calligraphy - 600 pages. Edited by art historians Robert Harrist and Wen C. Fong and with contributions from 11 other scholars, the volume documents the calligraphy collection of Princeton University's Art Museum, which Fong calls "the only collection outside China and Japan that properly represents the sixteen-hundred-year history of this highly prized ... art form." Filled with marvels ranging from one of the earliest known fragments of the classic text Tao Te Ching to letters and scrolls by artists who are the Rembrandts and Picassos of the medium, The Embodied Image presents Chinese calligraphy in terms of brushwork, as text, as the expression of the writer's personal cultivation, and as the underpinning of later (if not all) Chinese painting.
