“Chinese calligraphy in tattoos can look very beautiful and look very good on the skin. The main point is one Chinese word can have multiple meanings which makes it different from tattoos which made out of images. Different people can have different interpretations of a Chinese word. That’s why I want to promote Chinese culture and Chinese calligraphy tattoos to more people so that more people could appreciate this beauty.”
