The Chinese Chop



Chinese stamp tattoos have seen a rise in popularity in recent times and are a good choice for something unique as a tattoo. The stamp tattoo is derived from the ancient Chinese tradition of the Chinese "chop", which is the practice of stamping a seal on legal papers or documents, and still a regular practice today.

Did you know that to read an average Chinese newspaper you would have to know at least 3000 characters?! If you wanted to read technical or scientific papers you would have to know upwards of 6000!

Guardian Angel


Guardian Angel



This article has been floating around for a while, but I thought I would post it here as an example of poor Chinese tattoo translation...

A teenage girl who had her lover's nickname tattooed onto her stomach found out months after they split up that it actually said "supermarket".
Joanne Raine, 19, from Firthmoor in Darlington, discovered the mistake after she walked into a Chinese takeaway to find out what the tattoo symbols really meant.

The tattoo was inked onto Joanne's skin in March 2005, six months after she started going out with Andrew Blenche. Joanne wanted the tattoo to say "Roo", Andrew's nickname. She went to Skindeep Tattoo Parlour in High Northgate Darlington and choose a capital "r" and "o" followed by a lower case "o".

After handing over £80, the tattoo was completed. Unfortunately, after visiting a chinese takeaway for clarification over the meaning, the counter assistant broke the bad news. "I was embarrassed. My friends have been laughing at me. I cannot cover it up and it costs too much to get it removed," Joanne stated.

Skindeep was unavailable for comment yesterday.

The Complexities Of Chinese Tattoo Translation

In Chinese language, spoken words consist of one, two and often three or more syllables. Each syllable is written with a separate character. Each character has it's own meaning, although many are used only in combination with other characters.

All characters use the same amount of space, no matter how complex they are. There is no space between characters and the characters which make up multi-syllable words are not grouped together, so when reading Chinese, you not only have to work out what the characters mean and how to pronounce them, but also which characters belong together!

It pays to get an Expert Chinese Tattoo Translation!
