Howdy

I'm looking at getting my second tatoo. It's of my Chinese horoscope. I was born on the 30th of March in 1976.

According to what I've been reading, the symbols were The Dragon, The Morning and Fire.

I'm interested in getting the Chinese pictographs put under the Oriental Dragon, but wanted to make sure that I put them in the right order. The last thing I'd want would to either offend those who speak Chinese, not to mention it'd look silly if I messed it up.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. :)

Thank ye! :D

My next question though: Is there a particular sequence they must go in? I want to make sure the syntax is ok.

Get a tattoo that says Ni Hao! and put it under a picture of a thorium vein and an inventory full of shitty green armor.

Indeed they do! Especially when it translates to:

"Twelve Inch John"

Yeah but centimetre's don't have the same "OOMPH!" as the old Imperial system. :p
