But I had to get one done. Generally I dislike Chinese-character tattoos but if done in a subtle way that minimizes the usage of bold curvy strokes, it doesn't feel like the 90s kanji tattoos that you see everyday

Edit: stuck in the airport because I missed my flight and they moved it to 6 AM one so I just chose to sleep here. Can't sleep because I'm in a chair and paranoid about my belongings so I'm going back on old golden blogs (kingcharlie, stateofreverie). What has my life come to? 4 more hours of this pain and I can depart.

But I do know what it means. Woman represents Fortuna, goddess of luck who has a blindfold that symbolizes one of the phrases of survival of fittest. Two things I hold important to me: my good luck and my view of the world as cold-hearted where one needs determination to overcome others to succeed

Should have made it the half human half zerg Kerrigan picture, which symbolises the cold hearted world that put her in a bad situation, and how she made the best of it to become queen of the zerg through good luck and perseverance.
Think how cool it would be to explain the plot of StarCraft to someone in the bar when you ask them if they want to see your tat. Now you are stuck talking about some tarot card nonsense. Hopefully your other arm is still blank, so you can mitigate this mistake.
Of course, you can still write something like 一生懸命 on Kerrigan's forehead if it's that important to use Chinese characters.

I don't understand why people want to tattoo Chinese stuff on their bodies if they don't even read Chinese themselves.
If I ever get a tattoo I'm going for hieroglyphs.

It's not my type of thing but the writing was well done.
弱肉强食 is probably more Chinese than Japanese (kanji) though

I guess it works both ways...

To be fair to the OP, at least the words he's written on his arm come with the context of a picture. That poor woman might as well have '99 cent meat' written on her arm, for all the value meal marketing we're exposed to.
I know what it means! I looked it up in a dictionary!
