My neighbour's oldest wean reckons his new tattoo says VENGEANCE but frankly it's more likely to be This Way Up or Bloody Tourist. Anybody actually know?

Nope - and frankly what an idiot.

You can use www.tinyurl.com (http://www.tinyurl.com) for cases like these :D
Oh, and on the tattoo front, no idea :rolleyes:
To avoid long links you just type a word, let's say for the sake of simplicity:
linky
You then highlight the whole word and click the funny earth/link button (11 icons in) under the smiley face in the options above the text window... paste your address in to the box that pops up, click 'ok' and hey presto.. one short link. :)
Or you do this

Well it don't look much like 'vengeance' to me.
Hang on, let me try 'egg foo yung'...
reminds me of that Boca Juniors football fan that wanted the badge tattooed on his bak but cos the tattoist surported rival team River Plate tattooed a huge "willy" on his back.

"I like sailors"?
"Love G.I Long time"

Well it's not Kanji.
The word for Vengeance in Kanji is FUKUSHU and that is 4 symbols long.
It does appear to be chinese than japanese, but I don't know chinese as well as Japanese.
I have 4 Kanji words tattooed on me, I did a lot of research before I got them, sounds like your mate was a bit silly TBH.
According to a Taiwanese guy at work it is Japanese and means "love"
Bung it over to the guy at http://www.hanzismatter.com/ - I'm sure he'll be able to translate it.

Here is a few words in Japanese Kanji. I do have plenty more, but cannot be bothered putting them on here;)

Well that would be nice. Not quite what he was after but better than every other option on this thread so far!

Done, thanks peanut. Fingers crossed...

Lucky it's just a tattoo.;)

Acorrding to the link, it has something to do with the heart. bottom character of the tattoo.
Heart / Mind / Spirit
Mandarin: xīn
Japanese: kokoro
http://www.orientaloutpost.com/kaishufont/xin1.gif
This word would often be translated as “heart”. However, because it was believed in Chinese culture thousands of years that your consciousness and thoughts came from the big red organ in the middle of your chest, it also means “mind” or “spirit” and sometimes even “soul”.
Score: 100/100
Now trying to work out what my mum said to me.... :confused:
ummm.... might be confidence? belief in getting something, dedication?:confused:

I see a dog with his head split open...
I think I got it... Rorschach?
It looks a bit like a witch. Only the point on her witches hat is very small, perhaps shrunk by a spell.

Well full marks to him then, that's exactly what it means!

You were wise Peanut, he translated it while we slept and here is the official answer - linky (http://www.unicode.org/cgi-bin/GetUnihanData.pl?codepoint=604b)
Now all I need is to figure out how to break the news to the neighbours' kid...

Don't you speak Mandarin/Cantonese?
Don't you speak Mandarin/Cantonese?
Yes, Cantonese badly. Can't read or write Chinese either. I know the following characters and that's probably it, might be a few more.

Oh, and my chinese name..... no, wait, actually I've forgotten how to write that as well.
Doesn't really bother me, although I suspect it bothers my parents.
its a parents job to confuse their child, well done to mummy law for achieving this lol
