Chinese tattoos have become among the most popular type of tribal tattoo. They may, in fact, be more popular in the West than in China itself! Ironically, the tradition of tattoos in China is not very noble or glamorous. That is, tattoos were never considered in a very positive light. This, of course, is true of tattoos in many parts of the world, including the West!
The reason for the sudden popularity of these tattoos is probably that Chinese characters are very expressive and lend themselves to the art of tattooing. This presents a challenge to the person who doesn't know the Chinese language, as well as the tattoo artist.
If you are thinking of getting a Chinese tattoo, make sure you get a good translation first! Mistakes are quite common, and when it comes to Chinese characters, every detail is important. In addition to Chinese characters, you can get Chinese style images, such as dragons, tigers or any other image done in the Chinese artistic style.
It's true of any tattoo that you should do all of your research ahead of time! When dealing with something unfamiliar to you, however, like a different language, it's especially important.
