Hello
My uncle just got this Tattoo and I was curious to know what it says. I'm hoping he didn't get tricked and got something ridiculous.

Similar tattoo with same mistake was posted here in July.
棺材佬 means "coffin man".
However, the middle character of 木見才 or 木貝才 does not exist in Chinese character list.

Arabic Tattoo
One of the quickest and most popular trends brewing right now are word or literary tattoo designs. Be it one word to a whole poem word tattoos are hot. In order for people to yet again differentiate themselves from others many people are choosing to have the tattoo word written in a foreign language. For a long time Kanji tattoo were very popular. 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.

Hey
Lovin' your blog.
I got my tattoo aged 17 and it means a lot to me as it's meant to be the initials of people who are important to me, but I fear that I may well have been tattooed by someone who didn't actually know what they were talking about. It's meant to read:
JSG
PB
R
I know now that the Chinese alphabet doesn't have these letters, so I'm not hopeful, but intrigued to know what it means.
Many thanks for your help, it's really appreciated.

Another sucker of the gibberish font.

My sister got this tattoo on her arm about ten years ago. It is supposed to mean "warrior" but we both highly doubt that that's what it means. Could you shed some light? We'd love to know what it REALLY says!
Thanks.
