"Talking Dragon Love"



Reader Mikael emails:

"Tian, my cousin just got this tattoo on his chest. He claims that it i’s a pure sound message, but I wanted to check with you, so that he hasn'’t screwed up or anything. He didn'’t want to tell me what the sound message was either, so if you know, please tell me. Best Regards."

Regardless what "sound message" he is trying to express via his tattoo, the last character (love) is missing a few strokes backwards. Although the top two characters are not the best in terms of calligraphy, at least they are correct.

= speak, say, talk; to explain; to illustrate; explanation; directions; caption
= dragon
= love, be fond of, like
