does anybody no where there is a site where you type in a name and it shows you what it will look like in chinese writing? thanks this is for a friend who wants her bfs name in chinese on her back!

Classy.

[PinkFizz]

good idea - so if they split up it wont annoy the next bloke! She could say it meant "peace" or something!

Or sweet 'n' sour with egg fried rice!

A tattoo is for life,a boyfriend sometimes (!) is'nt,might be worth mentioning that to your mate!!

Never ever would i get a mans name tattooed on my body. Good luck to your friend though if thats what she wants to do, like it has been mentioned, at least no-one other than her will know what it says. My sis in law is half chinese and her sister has something written on her back that only she and her Husband knows what it means, oh and her Mum, it about her hubby, i'd love to know what it says though!

It is impossible to get straight translation - chinese writing doesn't work like that

But look here -

Personally I think tattoos are a recipes for disaster - still each to their own. This website may help as it has english to chinese. It is also useful for the main european languages.
