Tattoo quotes are meaningful Chinese sayings or wise words that could convey something important for you; memories, consolation or motivation. Chinese sayings are sought after because they are drawn from a five thousands years old civilization whose philosophy and poetry carry deep a connection to life. Confucianism, Taoism or Buddhism are an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
The quotes often consist of five or more Chinese characters (symbols); they are thus longer than most proverbs.
Defining your tattoo project involves at least two very important steps:
- choosing the subject of your tattoo (many examples are given below);
- choosing the Chinese calligraphy style.
The artist designer Ngan Siu-Mui will provide the proper Chinese translation, if required, which is a very important and delicate step; she will then submit a design for your approval. The suggested design will, of course, take into account the position of the tattoo on your body and all the numerous elements that have to be harmoniously combined to insure that your tattoo will be a unique artistic composition.
