Chinese Symbols for Words: How To Get The Tattoo You Want

Getting a translation for Chinese symbols for words is just so easy nowadays. Any words - any phrase.

But before you race off and get your tattoo, please consider, do you really know what those beautiful symbols mean?

Maybe it is just TOO EASY to get Chinese symbols tattooed on your body.

Lower down you'll find a link to the translation site I use but please do read the warnings first before you head off and get your Chinese symbols translation.

Tattoo translation dangers you need to know about

I know you're in a hurry for that translation but this will only take a moment!

The problem is that many of the so-called free services are not done by experts. In fact, most of them are not done by a living being at all! Scary! The translation of the Chinese word symbol is done by computer.

Is that really want you want? You're looking for something beautiful and full of meaning and you get it done by a soulless, senseless computer.

You need a person trained in the art of translating English ideas into a Chinese symbol that means what you want it to mean.

You need a person who will give you a choice of calligraphic style, who is interested in what area of the body the tattoo needs to go on (so important and often ignored), who bothers to ask what sex the person wearing the tattoo is.

I found a translation service that I could trust.

What's the point of using a free service if the translation is botched and you have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to have the tattoo removed.

Once you have made your choice as to the word that you want, get the translation of that word or phrase into Chinese symbols done by an expert.

Please - at the very least ensure it is done by a person and not computer software.

If you've ever had a web page translated then you know what a shamozzle those soft ware programs make of language! Sure - you get the gist of what the web page is about - but we're talking here about something that you want to live with for the rest of your life.

Chinese character writing is an ancient art form. Respect it. Respect your own body.

David Beckham's Chinese Symbols

The words of David Beckham's Chinese symbol tattoo come from an ancient Chinese proverb.

The translation of this Chinese proverb is "Death and life have determined appointments. Riches and honor depend upon heaven."

As with most Chinese proverbs this has layer upon layer of meaning.

Interestingly, one experienced translator said that the David Beckham "Death and Life" tattoo is the only Chinese symbol tattoo on a Westerner that she liked.

And this is what can make getting a translation of Chinese symbols so defining. You can end up with something so profound you could live your life by it.
