it's possible that they both mean crazy separately, and combined. one example that springs to mind is 場所 in japanese, which means place. if you put the two characters by themselves, they also mean place (but is pronounced differently).

The top also means crazy. But the two different characters have different nuances. The best way I can explain it is that the first refers more to the mental state of being deranged, the second is more of a physical unruliness or wildness. But Chinese words are all like that, its really a combination of these two to give it a holistic meaning. So together you have 'crazy' as in a tornado that lacks order, something uncontrollable, a madness without restraint. It doesn't have a really positive connotation, but I've seen a lot worse too. It probably isn't exactly the same 'crazy' that your friend had in mind in English. This is why I don't think its a good idea to get a tattoo in a language you don't know.

I saw a guy who had the hanzi for "puke" tattooed on his neck. I did a double-take, then looked it up when I got home to be sure.

Then again, he was one of those semi-punks with part of his head shaved and a stupid number of piercings, so it might have been intentional.

think of it as a noun for crazy/insane.
both words separately have the meaning for craziness , but u cant put them in reverse order, if u do, it's not a "noun" anymore.

Why would anyone ever get a tattoo in a different language without knowing for sure what it meant? =[

Been thinking a while about how to better explain it. Well if I saw just the first character, I would think of a mentally deranged person. It refers to the state of having lost it mentally. The second harkens more of a physical state, of disorder, a torrent of chaos. But it can also be further extended to insinuate mental intent. If the second character would be used to describe someone, its not that the person is literally deranged, is just that the person is very spontaneous, very unruly, uncontrollable.

In conjunction it suggests the second physical state of chaos and spontaneity possibly caused by an inner state of being mentally deranged.

Who the hell gets a tattoo without knowing what it says, especially when it stays with you forever. And it's not like she has any special roots in china.
