I read traditional Chinese, and I always, ALWAYS caution people against getting character tats. The Asian languages doesnt "work" the same way english does- one character does not always have one meaning. It's always grammatically better to string a whole phrase together. There is no ONE character that means (and these are the ones I've see) beautiful, sisters, strength, thoughtful, mysterious. It takes two or three characters sometimes- there's the context too, and different characters is used in different context. There is one word for love, but ther are so many people with that tat it's cliche.
And then there is the issue of the handwriting. I've seen it so badly done akin to the handwriting of a three year old. Asian handwriting - be it Chinese or Japanese , takes years to perfect. Its Hard for me to explain the nuance.
My suggestion is unless your tattoo artist is Asian, or you're getting your tattoo in Hong Kong or Tokyo, go with somthing in English, French, Spanish....
Hot damn a you folks down "south" have the best greasy, junky foods EVER! Seriously!!!

Almost everything from "Secratary", especially the last scene, where he baths her in that beautiful copper bathtub...no sex invloved....
Spader made "Des Moins" sound desireable...
... almost like somthing out of a certain movie that invloves a certain yellow brick road (or was it a chocolate factory?), a band of vertically challenged little people dressed in Lederhosens and funny hats emerged....
Good Lord... I can't explain to you, but I can name the perfect Example.
I just saw a quick snippet of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof before work yesterday. In it, Elizabeth's Taylor's character, Maggie, got smeared with Ice Cream on her leg by her brats of a neice.
She stomps upstairs to her bedroom, where her husband (Paul Newman) is getting sauced. She sits at her vanity, and all while venting, unclips her stocking, clean herself off, and puts on a clean pair.
She oozed sex with every pore of being.
I know this is the guy's forum but...
You feel lust in your loins and you may get it out of your system with time. If the person you lust after hurts you, you're going to move on, and be fine. In fact, you may feel stronger for it.
You feel love in your soul and it's indelible. If they hurt you, a little bit of you dies. You will still emerge, but your heart will be a little scarred. You will still emerge stronger for it, but one will always question the what ifs.
They can, of course, be felt independent of each other.
Every once in a great while, you will Love and Lust after the same person.
It's amazing if the other person feel the same way,
It rips your heart out of if they don't.
