This means "Inner Strength", for the record. The other day I had the distinct pleasure of being a participant in a conversation about tattoos, which I eally liked because I do intend to eventually get something meaningful put on my body. Not only that, I appreciate a fine piece of artwork regardless of location.
As you all know, I've been doing a lot of people watching lately, and as a result I came into this conversation with a man who had a tattoo with the symbol above. He was telling me the whole story of why he got it and how he got it, when a simple question popped into my head: "why Chinese?" The man was clearly of Italian descent "straight off the boat" NY style.
We chatted for a few moments and then I decided to just ask it. "Hey, why didn't you just get the English words 'inner strength' written on your forearm if you believe you have so much of it?" .....no response, he walked away.
Not only that, but there is no reason to have to advertise your "inner strength", because it's just that...internal. All those Chinese women are going to be flocking to you based on that obvious flaunting of character.
People wonder why I hate the world so much. I don't, I hate stupidity.
