I TOO WAS AN IPHONE ADDICT....UNTILL A FRIEND OF MINE TURNED ME ON TO THE NEW CRACK.....HTC 4G. I DONT CARE HOW HARD IT IS TO ACCEPT, ADMITTING U HAVE A PROBLEM IS THE FIRST STEP. STOP LIVING IN DENIAL ANYMORE. THIS IS THE NEW CRACK AND IT BLOOOOWS AWAY THAT BROKEN S@#%. WAY FASTER UPLOADING OF EVERY DAMN THING YOU TRY....BETTER RECEPTION, BETTER CAMERA, VIDEO CONFERENCING, SPEAKER PHONE, TEXTING. I MEAN EVERYTHING IS BETTER. SO STEP IT UP AND GET THE BEST OR JUST KEEP ON SETTLING FOR LESS.

Hello,
I just stumbled across your blog and thought that you could assist me in verifying the meaning of my tattoo. I did them myself late one night a couple years back while apprenticing at a tattoo parlor.
Thanks

First of all, the top character 苦 is upside down. Bottom characters 阿呆 means "fool, idiot".
The tattoo is very fitting & means "bitter [or suffering] idiot".

Hey,
I saw your blog on Mental Floss and thought you could help.
I have a tattoo, it's supposed to be kanji for hope, but I haven't been able to find a symbol that matches it and has the same meaning.
Actually, I haven't been able to find the symbol at all.
Is there anyway you might be able to tell me?
Thanks in advance,
Paul W.

Good afternoon,
I found your blog by googling 'What does my Chinese symbol tattoo mean?'
I was perfectly happy that my Tattoo meant 'friendship' for over 10 years until i recently researched symbols on the Internet and discovered that mine doesn't appear to relate to which it was sold as.
Can you assist me in a true translation for my tattoo.
Thanks very much in advance.
Ian

仲 does not mean "friendship" as Ian was first informed if it is read as Chinese. When read as Japanese, 仲 (なか), it is interpreted as "relation; relationship".

Hello, I found your blog randomly through "stumbling" and thought I'd toss my tattoo your way. When I got it I thought it meant "calmness" (out of a book at at tattoo parlor I worked for when I was young and dumb).
A few months later, a Japanese exchange student came in and told me it meant "lonely." So I just thought it would be interesting to see if you concur. Sorry it's a little blurry (also the artist used a tattooing method to make it look "brushed on"...and it's old at this point).
Thanks,
Wendi

寂 has multiple meanings when it is used alone. When read as Chinese, it can be interpreted as "solitary". However if it is read as Japanese, it would mean "lonely".

元氣 means "vitality", 気 in the tattoo is distinctively a variant used in Japanese.
