RAWK. Or um, something like that.

So when I was 21 or so, I got my second tattoo. Those who've heard me talk about this may remember that it was a rash, spur of the moment decision, which although it's far from being the worst decision I've ever made, I certainly wouldn't do again if I had the opportunity to change my mind about it now. It looks pretty much like this:



The sheet of designs I picked it off assured me that this 'Japanese' symbol meant "To rock!", and well, I was young and foolish. Okay, I was just foolish.

Anyway. Last night, while I was out getting 'goodbye' drinks with pieces_of_ele, one of her friends translated it for me. Apparently it's actually Chinese, and although there's not an exact translation, it means something fairly close to 'to wobble'.

I can't tell you how happy this has made me. I literally cried with laughter :)

If it's Kanji then it's not strictly "not japanese"

Often Japanese and Chinese characters are fairly similar with close enough meanings for the Japanese to be able to read a little Mandarin and visa versa.

So I'm sure you could call it either Japanese or Chinese if you wanted to. :)

If it means "to wobble" I think you got it on the wrong body part ;)
