Hi Tian,
I have a friend from work who has a tattoo on his arm. Since I knew about your blog I tried taking a pic of it & check with you if he really knows the meaning of what he has or not. He said it's written in Chinese and it says something like - there's nothing like mom.
Thanks a lot & love your blog.

The first character does not exist in written Chinese. However, there is one character 冇 only exists in written Cantonese, which means "not have". Of course, that is not what has been tattooed here.
Tattoo does not mean "there is nothing like mom", rather "not have the likeness of my mother".

Hey,
any chance you could translate what my sister just got tattooed on her neck?
It's supposed to be something in the lines of "as long as I breathe, I hope"
Thank you,
Rok
The five characters do not have same poetic meaning as she hoped. Rather, they are "living", "air", & "love".

Hey Tian,
One of my coworkers has this tattoo on her wrist which she had done in Bali. She thinks it says the following:
1. live your dreams (Tailand)
2. just fucking dance (China)
3. let nature take it's course (Burma)
4. actions/protest (Bali)
Your thoughts?
Thanks.
顺其自然, without that extra piece in the middle, would mean "to let nature take its course."
Besides the terrible calligraphy, what a group of hodgepodge text.
