Can you translate this oriental tattoo?

It would help if you had it the proper way round. Red arrow pointing up.

No idea what it means, got my mum to tell me but I'm none the wiser! lol

You might have the ingredients already - Toilet Duck and Tia Maria

I see a dog with his head split open...

mod linky magic

Type vengeance in the top left search box

Acorrding to the link, it has something to do with the heart. bottom character of the tattoo.

Heart / Mind / Spirit


Mandarin: xīn
Japanese: kokoro






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....

ummm.... might be confidence? belief in getting something, dedication?

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

Now all I need is to figure out how to break the news to the neighbours' kid...

Yes, it's great not being able to communicate with your mum properly.
