I am SOOOO glad I don't have to write this every time I sign my name:
here

And, that's only half of my name!
How do they get anything accomplished in China? They must spend all their time writing!

Strange and Mystery aren't all that far removed from each other. It could be a matter of interpretation.

FYI, this is REAL. It's not fake chinese or anything, and the name translates correctly in most cases.

i read an article that said it was in hebrew...becuase of the whole mystical thing her and madonna are into.
ironically, its backwards...so it is gibberish.
even more ironically...anyone religious into judaism probably shouldnt get getting any ink.

I got a tattoo 3 years ago (Unity) written in Chinese on my arm.
Last year I found out it meant "I dislike rice"

Japan (and korea) uses the same characters. My gf can write faster using these characters than she can writing roman characters (she writes plenty fast).

I took 1 year of Japanese and these characters are very very easy to write and remember. There's thousands of them but they're very simular.

Well most words are only one character. Reason why the name is so long is because Western names tend to be longer in syllables and also some sounds that can not be attained with one character is attained with two. Chinese is actually a very concise language. English on the other hand...
