Are you contemplating in getting a dragon tattoo and yet still undecided in what specific design to use? Well this article may sway your decision in favor of the Chinese dragon tattoo. A dragon is a mythical creature that plays a significant part in the Chinese history and culture. The dragon signifies mystical and lordly dominance and are said to be living in majestic divine kingdom. According to legends, they can also change shape and form and can create cloudbursts at their will.
With dragons being so popular and revered in the culture of China, it is even assumed that the Chinese people are dragon descendants. Another affirmative impact of dragons in China is the belief that dragons have the pearl of wisdom. Soon enough the pearl of wisdom possessed by dragons represents the pureness of the thoughts of the king and the flawlessness of his decrees.
Even in religion, dragons have a big role. In Chinese Buddhism, the dragon is the protector of Buddha as well as the laws of Buddhism. Dragons are etched on both on tomb walls and temple doors. They provide shield to any evil spirits that lurks around these places.
These are just some of the wondrous characteristics of the Chinese dragon. If you think you are somehow in parallel with these powerful features then the Chinese dragon tattoo is for you, a Chinese dragon tattoo that portrays a sense of loyalty and dedicated among others. You never know, the magic of the Chinese dragon can stroke your life with strength and power.

My dear friend K just turned 28 and held a tea party today with lots and lots of cakes, macaroons and mini cupcakes. All home made, all delicious.
K loves pink and candy so I gave her a gift with pink and candy on my mind. And I dressed up thinking pink and candy. And 1930's, sailors and sailorettes.
I don't like to read long texts on a screen. I kind of of think that applies to everyone else (even though I know that it really doesn't) so I mostly try to keep my writings short. In order to avoid too much scrolling I'll answer the questions received so far now alrady.
Here's some Soft Sunday music to go along with the reading (or scrolling in case you don't give a F):
-I have always wondered what it is you really work with? I work as a freelancing graphic designer, I do random commissions, but I also frequently work with a textile and apparel company together with my friend K. We do product planning, sketches and package design. I also work in the harbor as a cargo supervisor; we load and unload ships and I see that everything goes as planned. It's kind of blue collar.
Have you lived in Budapest? What did you do there. -I studied graphic design in BP in 2003 at MIE; Magyar Iparmûvészeti Egyetem, which I believe is nowadays called MOME. My mentor told me "Budapest has a great nightlife, so don't take too many courses". I took his advide.
Any photoshop secrets or other editing tips and tricks you'd like to share ;)? -Remember to save versions in between! And well, play around with adjustement layers etc. You learn a lot by doing and trying. And google up and read threads and forums.
How do you take such gorgeous pictures?! -Heh, by taking many. Out of ten there should be one usable :)
Do you use hair extensions or is it ur real hair? -Nips, it's all my own!
What's my favourite Food: I like a lot, but tapas and meze dishes with good wine always works for me! And sushi. Band : I used to say Interpol but nowadays I've distanced from it. I like rautalanka (and surf) the most, so bands that play that well! Most people find it rather geeky :D Book : perhaps Orwell's 1984 Movie : Depends, it used to be A Clockwork Orange. I don't really have a "number one" of anything, I like so many different things in different ways.
Do you work out? -Too little these days - I used to work out six times a week at the gym, with yoga and savate (you get a little manic by doin it too often so that's not good either). Nowadays I go swimming about once a week and then try to squeeze in some hot yoga once or twice a month... I'm trying to make time for savate again, but haven't done it even once this year.
What languages do you speak? -Swedish (mother toungue), Finnish, English, French, German. Some elementary Hungarian that I keep on forgetting more and more about. Since I speak Swedish I can get by on Norwegian and Dansih, it kind of comes as a bonus. I'd like to say Estonian too but I'm so bad at it I'm not sure it counts.
What do you usually eat during the day? -Sandwiches
What is your favourite bar&club in Helsinki? -For easy dining and wine Bar No9, otherwise perhaps Bar Loose. Right now all places seem a but dull. Autumn depression perhaps.
Are you one a diet or think what you are eating? - I eat whatever I want but in general rather healthy. I always have to have some uncooked vegetables with every meal. It feels great not to avoid anything anylonger, I don't care about carbs or calories.
Are you vegetarian? -Yes, I've been quite a strict one but I have fish and eggs nowadays.
When did you became so stylish, have you always dressed that way? (oh thanks :) -I've had different styles, some more some less stylish I guess but I've always paid attention to both details and the whole.
What kind of style you had when you were a teenager? - Black black black and slightly bohemian, after which I became something of an arty psychedelic hippie girl.
Height & weight? -165 cm, I don't weight myself that often but something around 63 kilos I think.
How did you get the idea to start performing burlesque / How did you get involved in Burlesque performance? -I've always loved the look of burlesque but it wasn't until I saw it live for the first time a couple of years ago (and Paula who was there with me told me "you have such a burlesque body!") I started thinking "I could do this!". Friends and friends of friends were also interested and we put together our group. Burlesque is new in Finland and the scene small, so it was easy to join in, we were definitaly in the right place at the right time!
What educations do you have? -I'm a Bachelor of Arts, my major was graphic design. I studied painting before that for a year.
Do you have a boyfriend? -Yes.
What's yout name? -Ulrika
I would love to know the story behind your "förlåt mig" tattoo -I took it after my previous relationship, when we broke off our engagement. It's says forgive me for his sake as well as my own.
Do you promise to answer me if I send you an email and ask about where to go and what to see in Helsinki if I ever end up there? -Yes. But it might take some time before I answer it and you can remind me if it takes too long :)
How do you manage such a hectic lifestyle with freelancing, sewing, your job at the harbor, and burlesque and still manage to -look absolutely fabulous? (thanks again:) Basically I never have any free time. Even if I take days off there is always something I should be working with... The good thing with my harbor job, and one of the main reasons why I'm still there, is that I have every third week free but still get paid for the whole month and have full vacations! That helps and also makes it pretty hard to quit.
Have you ever seen the comic Fritzi Ritz? - No, but now I have :D
Any tips on how to get the lipstick stay on your lips and how to avoid chapping at the same time? -Hmm, I have sensitive skin and my lips get dry or irritated from time to time. I wear a fat cream from the pharmacy (like Bepanthen) during the night and put chapstick (like the blistex tube that doesn't really "stay on" the lips but) on in good time before the lipstick. Sometimes I just paint my lips with liner and put vaseline on for a more "lipstick look". (you need to bite it off a bit and add some more colour afterwards for an even result.) Have you tried changing to a more moisturizing lipstick? The Gosh soft n' Shine lipbalm has so much colour that it works more as a lipstick but is still pretty moist.
I'm not really an arrogant A hole. But I am rather unorganized. And very busy. I tend to forget to answer questions I get in my comments. Sometimes it can take me a long time to answer blog related mails written to me too.
So I thought I'd do this thing were you can ask me anything and I will answer almost everything!
This is my sneaky-suspicious look when I say, ok, go ahead and ask then.
I'll answer a couple of questions/requests I remember now straight away 1. Make up I get lots of questions about makeup. But the thing is, I will never do a makeup tutorial - there are tons of youtube tutorials out there that go for the same look and they're all pretty much similar to each other. I do the same make up almost every day, just make it heavier and add some glitter for shows. And in the end you still have to see what suits your own face the best.
But I will do a post about makeup; which products I use and some tricks I rely on, that I promise!
2. Photos "I'm always curious about whether you take all your own photos and how you always manage to get the lighting so spot on? " Well, first of all I have a pretty good camera. Not a great one, but an OK that can take great pics if you do it right. If there's not time nor good light for getting it right, I fix the photos in Photoshop afterwards, Levels, Curves etc. Basically there's nothing I can't do in Photoshop, although I prefer to get away as easily as possible. (Well as you can see the photo above has some more playing around than just levels and curves - sometimes that's real fun too - especially if you should be working with something different than making yourself look all 1939 for example :) I indulge quite a lot what I like to call "forced photography" -heheh- as I have my sister or a friend take some pics for my blog ("You have to take some pictures for my blog now!"), but I do take many of them on my own too.
That's it. If you post a question here during the weekend and perhaps the beginning of next week too I promise I'll answer them all by next weekend in a post!
Oh, and if you come here a lot and react a lot and I have forgotten to link you let me know!
I've been ill the whole week and have spent my time here at home reading, drinking lots of tea and (yes! yes! finally!) organizing my desk and drawers ...and also, doing lots of online shopping. That's why I will never have space in my wardrobe - as son as I sell something away new items come in. Oh, materialism, oh vanity! (And that's why I'll never be rich either. But at least I'll die well dressed.)
A pair of boots I ordered late on wednesday night arrived today already, brought straight home to my door! What more can a little piggie-flu girl ask for?
(the cat will, of course, be in the box the same second I take the shoes out of it...)
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah! The Melissa Ashanti flocked boot. Water resistant. Me likes.
Yeees. Rainy days, here we come!
The fact that I now own a pair of water resistant shoes for autumn make me very very happy. It's like I never really believed I could actually have a pair of pretty shoes that can master the nasty weathers to come. Plus that they're vegan too. I ordered mine from Luis Via Roma, and the FedEx home delivery was included in the price! (Well, with the range -and price- of the other items in their store, I'm not surprised.. :)

Spend a few minutes surfing the net for information on Chinese tattoos and you will quickly notice a recurring theme warning the would be tattoo recipient to ensure they know someone reliable who can accurately translate the meaning before they just go ahead a slap one on. There is even an entire blog dedicated to the misuse of these characters. Makes you wonder about all the times you wondered into a tattoo artist's workshop and flipped through the hundreds of Chinese tattoos available looking for that perfect one which symbolized your life on this planet.
Anyone who has ever thought of getting a tattoo has considered the option of a Chinese tattoo or for that matter a Korean or Japanese tattoo. Their mystery, sleek design and hidden meanings draw on our curiosity like moths to a flame. We picture friends and strangers asking with keen interest about our decision behind such a choice, which may even lead some people to create elaborate stories about their own life.
There is an endless mythical history in Asian cultures, it's no wonder Westerners are drawn to these types of tattoos, Chinese designs being the most popular and sort after around the world. Part of the interest, one would guess, is how unique each character seems and so the chances of someone else having the same one is unlikely. The fact that they also look cool doesn't hurt either.
Making the perfect, meaningful choice
Chinese tattoos are available in many different designs because the language is made up of thousands of characters rather than the few letters in the English alphabet. It may not be necessary to say it but if you choose to get a permanent tattoo, Chinese or not, it is exactly that, permanent. It is certainly not a decision to be taken lightly or one you should be making impulsively.
If it is a story you are looking for then take the time to talk with a friend who knows some Asian history and who understands the culture and language. It would be in your best interest before getting your Chinese tattoo, to do as much research as possible. Imagine the sheer horror of having a Chinese symbol tattooed on your arm or the small of your back only to find out it has some perverse or trivial meaning when you thought it actually meant something along the lines of love, peace or hope.
One of the ways to avoid this could be to decide on a word or phrase or even your name you would like to get a Chinese tattoo of and get it translated into characters or symbols. This will ensure accuracy and of course uniqueness.
The Chinese culture has evolved over thousands and thousands of years and such deserves the respect of a little forethought when considering a Chinese tattoo rather than a decision based on whether your favorite celebrity has one or not.
So I don't feel any different, then I did 2 weeks ago...
But this weeks milestones are; anywhere from now -20 weeks I will begin to feel what they call "butterflies" of the bean swimming around in there. Im anticipating this moment, I lay in silence and wait to feel it...but I haven't yet, Im sure it will happen when I least expect it.
Bean is 4.6 inches and weighs about 3.4 oz. Tiny little thing still :)
Bean is beginning to develop sleep and wake cycles, which are generally short relative to a term baby.
From here on out its RAPID growth time.... and mommy Mar isnt excited about that, but its all worth it. RIGHT?
Chinese tattoos that include authentic characters and symbols can form the basis of beautiful designs which carry a deep and personal meaning.
But due to the complex nature of Chinese writing it's extremely easy to end up with a permanent embarrassment trapped under your skin unless you take a few basic precautions. So to help you avoid these Chinese tattoo disasters, here are the top five mistakes to look out for;
1) Mistranslation
Chinese writing is very complex and carries many subtle meanings. It's extremely easy to end up with something unexpected written all over your skin. Here are two classic example of these "misunderstandings" that I've heard about recently;
a) A woman wanted a Chinese writing tattoo, but she knew about the dangers of mistranslation. So she went in to a local Chinese restaurant and asked one of the waiters to write out the Chinese characters for the word "free". He duly obliged and she took the design to a tattoo artist who provided her with the tattoo of her dreams.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand what the design meant and the word "free" has two meanings in English. It can mean freedom, which was the meaning that the lady wanted, or it can mean free of charge.
And you can guess which version the waiter translated into Chinese symbols!
So she ended up with the words "free of charge" tattooed on her skin. And when she discovered the mistake it cost her almost $1,000 to get the tattoo removed.
An expensive misunderstanding!
b) A women with a Chinese tattoo was under the impression that the symbols said "love birds". Wrong! Due to a mistranslation it meant one of three things, that she loves birds, that she is a bird lover, or that she loves the male reproductive organ.
A slightly extreme example, but it shows you the mistakes that can happen and the amount of embarrassment that they can cause.
2) Poor Quality Designs
Chinese writing is extremely complicated so the design of your tattoo has to be precise otherwise the meaning will be lost. One slight alteration or a missed stroke can completely change the meaning of the design.
Unfortunately, due to a combination of poor quality tattoo designs and western artists who try to add their own style to the Chinese characters, thousands of people end up with Chinese tattoos that are incorrect and meaningless.
3) Not Knowing What They Mean
I know this might sound unbelievable, but you'd be amazed at the number of people walking around who don't know the meaning of their Chinese tattoo.
But tattooing is a form of self expression, and if you don't know what your design means it becomes rather pointless. So if you plan to get a Chinese character tattoo, make sure that you know what it means before the treatment begins.
4) Misalignment
Chinese characters become meaningless if they are applied upside down or back to front. But this mistake is often made by tattoo artists who don't understand the symbols that they are using. Once they lose track of which way round the designs should be used, it's just luck whether your design is applied correctly.
End result? Another meaningless embarrassment.
5) Standard Tattoo Parlour Designs
Most tattoo studios offer hundreds of Chinese symbol designs to choose from. The different options fill binders and walls in tattoo parlours all over the world. Unfortunately, many of these designs have been wrongly translated or have missing strokes which renders them meaningless. And even if the design that you choose is correct, there will be thousands of people around the world with the same design.
If you want a Chinese writing tattoo that enhances your individuality it's important to avoid these standard designs and get a native Chinese speaker to create a custom design which will express your own personal values.
So I had a nightmare very early this morning, it was so bad I was awaken just by the terror. I was surrounded by my friends and we were all just hanging out socializing when out of now where, there was an explosion, debris flying, we all screaming, I was running, so fast, and i turned around and saw more explosions ..... and I woke up... What makes this so weird to me is that when I woke up my room and house smelled of smoke so bad...like a campfire, and I was so weirded out at the fact I just dreamt of exploding, fire...and my house reeks of it......
I researched what my dream may have meant.... "To dream of explosions, portends that disapproving actions of those connected with you will cause you transient displeasure and loss, and that business will also displease you."
GREAT!!! just what I need more displeasure, and loss in my life.
and FYI my 16 week pictures are coming.... I swear. im a litle bit, but I will be updating the blog in the next couple of days with the new pics! :) so sit tight.
Sometimes I may wear something which makes me feel real preppy and active and almost makes it easier running here and there and everywhere to take care of tasks and errands one has around town. For me it may be voluminous skirts that go puff-puff when I walk and shirts in fresh colours that does the trick one day (but perhaps something totally different the next). This time it was exactly that, and I got tons of things and jobs done.
The photo is a bit over exposed and you can watch an even more overexposed video of our most girlie burlesque number here. Me on the other hand have been exposed to some germs or cold, I have the flu and will be spending most of my time in bed this week doing nothing. Atchoo.
(The skirt is Miss60, the bag vintage and the rest plain ol' H&M)
Chinese symbol tattoos are very popular today because they are really beautiful. And because most of us in the Western Hemisphere cannot read Chinese symbol, Chinese symbol tattoos become an “exotic” form of expression.
So how to get perfect Chinese symbol tattoos you truly deserve?
Unlike most other tattoos which you can pick up and get inked from tattoo parlors, Chinese symbol tattoos need to be carefully prepared before tattooing.
First, you need to use custom Chinese symbol translation service to translate whatever you want to express. And resist the urge to pull over the Chinese waiter and ask him to write out the Chinese symbol for you. He may not know exactly what meaning you really want and may unintentionally give you the wrong symbol.
Second, the Symbols need to be custom designed to make it worth inking. Without Custom designed Chinese symbol Tattoos, there are many ways to screw it up. The typical Chinese symbol Tattoo mistakes include missing strokes, being inked back forward and defaced Chinese symbol Tattoos. The last two mistakes can not be undone. The laser removal is the only way to remove the bad Chinese symbol tattoos.
Chinese character symbols are complex and can easily be mean something other than intended. Get the wrong one… and your new tattoo can be a permanent source of embarrassment to you! So do not make the same Chinese symbol tattoo mistakes many other people have been made. Use the custom Chinese symbol translation and design service to get the Chinese symbol tattoos you truly deserve.
So what is Custom designed Chinese symbol Tattoos?
Custom designed Chinese symbol Tattoos is writing the Chinese symbols in calligraphy. Chinese calligraphy has hundreds of year’s history; Calligraphy is one of the highest forms of Chinese art. Chinese calligraphy shows the 'abstract' beauty of the line. The Rhythm, line, and structure are more perfectly embodied in calligraphy than in painting or sculpture. Writing Chinese symbol without calligraphy could be bored and humdrum. Whereas Writing Chinese symbol in calligraphy can create stunning visual effects. Moreover, Custom designed Chinese symbol Tattoos also include stencil outline. So what is a matching stencil? Most people don't realize that every tattoo design has a matching stencil. To apply tattoos on the skin, the tattoo artist needs both a good clear reference of the actual design, and well drawn stencils (line drawings) as the "blueprint" for the actual tattoo. When you get tattooed, your tattoo artist will use stencil outlines to trace the artwork onto your body. Stencil outlines are vital for inking Chinese symbol tattoos as it can prevent tattooists from making mistakes while inking.
Having your body inked can be a very rewarding experience which can last for the rest of your life. Many people who have Chinese symbol tattoos feel that they are very much symbolic representations of their inner feelings and personality. That is the power of choosing a Chinese symbol tattoo that represents your true self, so it is of the up most importance to take your time and select custom designed Chinese symbol Tattoos that speaks to you on a symbolic level.

The Chinese symbol Tattoo is a way of your self expression
Don’t hurry your Chinese symbol tattoo by going to a tattoo parlor, skimming through the binders and getting inked. You will regret it later. Yes, you can get a tattoo removed, but removing unwanted tattoos is a very expensive, lengthy and painful ordeal! You are wise to research your best possible options before going through with it.
You know how the story goes. You meet. It's either love at first sight, or then an interest slowly developing into something more. But either way, if everything goes well you get one another one fine day. You go on adventures together, as well as go through everyday life.
But, at some point you notice that things are not like before. You don't see each other that much anymore. You don't long for each other like you used to. You may have grown apart (literally). You realize you never go out together. You find new points of interest. You might even find it hard to believe you actually spent so much time together back in the days. You may seem so different from each other now. And even if feelings might still be warm, there just comes a point where you, even if it may hurt, have to take the guts to take action and say it out loud: I just don't see a future for us anymore.
I have done it. In other words, I'm selling some more things away in my other blog!

Chinese Characters have a complex beauty as well as individual meanings. People who get Chinese Character tattoos are often drawn to this. Unfortunately, the flip-side is that there are a lot of Chinese tattoo Mistakes. I have personally seen such elementary mistakes as Chinese Characters being tattooed backward and meant something else other than intended. My goal is to help people explore the beauty and complexity of Chinese Characters safe in the knowledge that they are dealing with the professional.
The typical mistakes of Chinese Character tattoos as below :
1 Missing Strokes and Poor Script Western tattoo artists always add their own artistic flair, which is fine with English letters, but their script would deface Chinese Characters and make them meaningless. Missing strokes are common mistakes and thus making the tattoos meaningless, and the poor handwriting defaces the Chinese characters and makes Chinese Character tattoos look ugly. Wearing meaningless Chinese Character tattoos is embarrassing.
2 Chinese Characters Being Tattooed Backwards A much more common mistake is that the Chinese characters are flipped horizontally or vertically and thus is a mirror image of what it should be. I think this might be the problem when people use temporary tattoos or work from those because after a while they might get confused as to which side is the correct one. To have a Chinese Character tattooed on you backwards is also embarrassing.
3 Mistranslation of Chinese Chinese are complex and can easily be mean something other than intended. Get the wrong one and your new Chinese character tattoo will be a permanent source of embarrassment to you! A lady has told me her Chinese character tattoos experiences: After deciding to ink a Chinese character tattoo, She went to Chinese restaurant and pull over a Chinese waiter and asked him to write out the word "free" in Chinese characters for her, free has two meaning in English dictionary, the first one is free of charge and the second meaning is freedom which was the lady wanted, the waiter wrote down the first meaning in Chinese for the lady. The lady ended up with the sign "free of charge" on her skin and then later it was wind up with spending US$900 to remove the tattoos.
4 Do not Know the Meaning of Chinese character tattoos I have come across many western people who do not know the meaning of their Chinese character tattoos .Tattoo is a way of self expression. if anyone curiously ask you the meaning of Chinese character tattoos, answering them either do not know or make up the meaning is quite awkward.
5. Choosing Kanji from Tattoo Parlors. Some Tattoo parlors present some dozens of Kanji either on the wall or on the binders for their customers to choose, Most of these Kanji are either missing strokes or being mistranslated, you would make mistake from the right beginning if you choose them from Tattoo parlors. Moreover, do you think you can pick up your dream tattoos which would express who you are from a handful of kanji.
Here are the advice when planning to get Chinese Character tattoos:
1. Getting Chinese Character tattoos right at the first time Your tattoo will be with you for the rest of your life, please make sure you get a right character tattoo at the first time. Yes, you can remove it later on, but it is extremely painful and very, very expensive. A $100 tattoo “mistake” can cost several thousand dollars to remove.
2. Do not Pick up Kanji From Tattoo Parlors Many people have gotten what they thought were Chinese Character tattoos only to find later that the characters were drawn wrong, or in one case, the mirror image of the character was tattooed. You would make the mistakes mentioned above if choosing them from tattoo parlors.
3. Do You Own Research Before you run off to the tattoo parlor to get one done you should do your own research. Selecting Chinese Characters deserve careful study and attention.
4. Consulting With a Chinese Many words in English can be translated in several different Chinese characters. Each of these may have a slightly different meaning in Chinese. Consulting with a native Chinese to get a exactly CORRECT characters for your intended meaning.
5.Choosing Meaningful Words Tattoos are forever. If you're planning to get a Chinese Character tattoo soon, be sure to choose the right and meaningful characters. It is important to choose something of lasting appeal not something faddish, and it also needs to be a cool design you'll love tomorrow just as much as you love it today.
6.Getting Them Look Right Western tattoo artists’ script usually defaces Chinese Characters and makes them meaningless. Again, take the time to do some research and find someone good at Chinese calligraphy to write out your design. Chinese calligraphy is a classic ancient art. The brush strokes must have a certain shape. Each part of a character must be in precise relation to the others. Chinese Characters can be written in a wide variety of calligraphy styles.
7. Getting a stencil Outline of the Proposed Design. Every tattoo design has a matching “stencil”. It is an exact copy of the tattoo design, but without any color or shading -- just the black line work that makes up the design. Your tattooist will transfer stencil directly to your skin prior to beginning the tattoo process, thus the tattooist will ink the tattoo which is exactly the same as the proposed design.
A lot of illustrations today tend to have this folky, decoratvie vibe to it. I'd dare to say Klaus was among the first, if not the very first one, to start the trend.

One of the cool things about many of the newer online tattoo sites is they offer you the ability to design tattoos to meet whatever message you are trying to convey through your body art.
Sites like Chopper Tattoo offer the ability to use traditional oriental lettering in whatever arrangement you desire to create an original message, statement or work of art you would like to have tattooed at your local shop. This is a far cry from the old days where you would go into your local shop and they would only have the standard selection of oriental phrases that millions of other people have as well. Not very original and you also run the risk of getting something that may not really mean what you think it means.
Being able to take the wording and symbols from a online resource and assemble them yourself allows you to design tattoos that you know what they mean and are exactly what you want to say. You can also design tattoos for personal work by requesting certain designs in detail and have them made up and placed on the site for you to download and carry in to your local artist to have done for you.
I personally love what the new online sites have done for those that want to design tattoos either for their own, as a gift for someone else or even a young artist trying to build up a portfolio of designs for his customer base. Any artist that can design tattoos has a distinct advantage over one that is stuck with using whatever artwork they can find out there that every other artist is using as well
I recently had some artwork done on my lower leg in Japanese symbols and in searching through tons of pages I founds various symbols that all seemed to mean the same thing. Using my Chopper membership I was able to verify the correct symbol, make modifications to fit the look I wanted and print it out for my local shop. It turned out exactly how I wanted it to look and it made me feel like I had a hand in the design tattoos process.

To get a saying writing in Japanese Kanji was super cool. These trend is kind of dying out these days and now people are getting designs in Italian, Sanskrit and even Arabic. One has to admit there is a certain beauty and mystery in a foreign script. Just think of the moment when Frodo holds up the One Ring in the movie "The Lord Of The Rings" after the ring has been in the fire. Frodo holds up the ring and looks at the beautiful glowing elvish script inscribed into the ring. One can not deny the mystery and beauty of the foreign elvish script. Thus is the same beauty and mystery that leads people to get word tattoos in a different language.
