New Trend Brings Meaningless English Phrases to Chinese TattoosChinese characters hold an almost esoteric and mystical meaning to Westerners. As such, many get Chinese characters tattooed on their bodies.But in a peculiar twist, the Chinese are increasingly choosing English words and letters to tattoo onto their bodies. What is weird is that this trend began apparently only this year.Even Shanghai tattoo artist Aiping Zhang seems to agree: “Around 30-40 percent of our customers are choosing tattoos in English letters now. This has happened really suddenly, since the beginning of this year.”According to a report, any foreign language is deemed mysterious and exotic in China.Enna Yang, a TV producer, explained why she prefers to use English: “[English words] are much simpler compared to Chinese characters and can hold deep meanings.”Yang also thinks that the Chinese get tattoos in English because they possess special significance in their lives. “If I had tattoos in Chinese, everyone would immediately know what they meant,” she declared. 4951

I personally don't understand tattoos.  Why someone wants to mark their body, i just don't get.  I guess i never got drunk enough in college.  Emoticon I have several friends that have them, just not for me though.   4951

@N+T:  Yeah, me either. I've seen some very small,dainty looking ones that I do like, just don't like it for me. I really don't like the over stated huge ones...a little tiny heart on your lower back is kinda cute.

5 tattoos & a few piercings including gauges for me. Different strokes for different folks. Emoticon the dumbest english tattoo on a chinese person I've seen was a HUGE "Made In China" tattoo on an asian porn star that covered her entire back. I never understood the Chinese symbol tattoos here in America either though. 4951
