Hope that Jeff uses this heading to title the Daniels' signing. It is the (unintentional) translation of the Chinese character tattoo on his arm that was intended to be his initials.  Can't make this stuff up.

That's why I will never get anything I personally can't read or understand put on my body. Something similar happened to Shawn Marion, his tat was supposed to say the Matrix... It doesn't though.

if the tatoo being referred to for "big woman...." is the one shown in the daniels thread, then it aint so.

what i saw there would not be be understood by most chinese that way. what i saw was typical of most chinese character tatoos by americans i have seen.... poorly written gibberish.

but in any case, i am glad the celtics signed daniels.  :)

Democracy begins with freedom from hunger, freedom from unemployment, freedom from fear, and freedom from hatred.

Same.
I would freak out every time i saw a Chinese guy and hide my tattoo in fear he would misread it to everyone.

Serves him right.  Getting a tattoo of Chinese / Japanese symbols which you are not personally able to read is really, really lame.

It almost sounds like an American Indian name  ;D

I don't know, I sort of think it is lame.  Imagine you traveled to China and you saw people with tattoos saying
"Big Woman Standing on the Roof"
or
"Small Baby Laughing"
or something like that...

Just knowing what a symbol means doesn't mean you've done your "homework".  You still can't read it or know anything about it.

Now if a player could recreate the symbol on demand and explain why it means that, and what era the symbol was invented it, and how to make the symbol negative...well that would impress me because that is homework.

if someone has a particular word that is important to them, and say they love the asian culture, that would be acceptable.

as i said in that old tattoo thread a week ago, it is a person's body to do what they like.  if they like it, thats all that matters.  people shouldnt pass judgement or degrade them for that, imo.
