Chinese symbol word tattoos

Chinese Symbol Word Tattoos

There are many exciting possibilities when it comes to Chinese symbol word tattoos. The fact is, if you're not Chinese and not fluent in the language, you really need to research and symbols or characters before getting them tattooed on your body.

The system of Chinese symbol writing began more than 4000 years ago and does not have an ABC. This is perhaps the biggest difference for non Chinese people to understand.

Instead, Chinese symbol writing relies upon a large number of symbols that represent spoken ideas or concepts. Each symbol represents a different spoken word.
