Nevermind, aparrently it's what they use for the bike at the very least, in China.
Oh, and the two characters I posted were the first two large black characters on that sheet. You need eastern character support to see the text characters, though the image will show up either way.
Ok im chinese and im gunna attempt to explain to you guys what those character means.
The 1st one means fire... straight up.
The 2nd means Blade (the thin kind) without that dot would mean a big wide knife (like a butcher's)
The 3rd and 4th is a bit tricky.
The 3rd means reverse... kinda like in a rebound or revenge kind of way if that makes sense. However they flipped the word upside down (for artistic value b/c of the meaning of reverse) so unless your really familiar with chinese you won't recognize it.
The 4th means fierce speedy attack... straight up
so third and fourth together means something along the lines of "attacking back after being attacked previously"
So now the finale...
The entire sentence in context means "The Fire Blade is now attacking back fiercely with a quickness after being attacked at previously (R1 is prob the target)".
Hey they don't dun call Chinese the hardest language in the world to learn for no reason. :bowdown
Hope this helps...
Now a lil rant about idiots that get foreign characters that they have no idea what it means tattoed everywhere. couple things I want you guys to know.
- there's no such thing as "Universal Asian" characters, every country in Asia have their own language and characters. They are so different its worse than english compared to spanish. I've seen tats with chinese, korean, and japanese all in 1 sentece. it didn't make any sense.
- Don't get it tatted on you if you dun know what it means. In Chinese, 1 dot could mean the difference between fierce warrior and salty fish (i have seen it before, it was fucking funny).
- Even if you can directly translate word for word from english to Chinese, it doesn't mean it will make sense grammatically in Chinese. so for all those that loves saying "me love you long time" well thats the same shit in chinese on your back buddy.
- lastly, assuming you got everything translated perfectly by a chinese master. Then you take the copy of what he wrote, and give it to a white guy to tatto. That shit will come out looking like a 5 year old's coloring book... fucked up. The art of Caligraphy should be the mean reason for people to get defferent types of asian characters, especially chinese IMHO. Cuz it looks GOOD when its done right.
- want foreign characters for any other reason other than to look cool? try to go to that country, understand their culture, pick something meaningful to you in terms of the culture of your chosen character. and that will just make your shit that much more special... for the REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Sorry for long post, but i really feel sorry for those with fucked up tattos.
Anyone interested getting chinese tats, feel free to pm me what you want and i'll write it out for you and mail it to you (im not caligraphy expert, so find an artist that can write it pretty, but i will guarantee that shit will be legit... cuz my mom will write it for me)
Lastly after you read this and you say "WTF is this fucking mambo jumbo chinese bullshit... i really dun give a shit."
Then I say "Well... good point and :upyours "
In famouse words from my friend "Oh, I get it. Just because I Chinese, you think I build wall and get A on me math homework. you dumb. I cant build shit and I fail math because I as dumb as you. and I can see fine thank you."
