Do people in China get English words tatooed on them?

Who knows.  But it's a really funny thought!\n\nI'm sure they mess up sometimes with chinese writing so that would probably happen for them too.  Instead of getting 'will power' tatooed on them, it accidently turns out as 'white power'.

Well, it would help to know English is spelled ENGLISH, and the plural of pro is pros.  China has a wholly different culture than ours, and you would have to understand that to make a difference.

It's not really a tradition that I know of, and I have many Chinese friends, but there are many reasons he might not have wanted to tell you. Maybe you wouldn't have been able to pronounce it. Maybe he has the "Long Duck Dong" factor going on and it'll sound odd to an English speaker. Maybe his name honors an ancestor and you just don't rank the whole story yet. Just use the name he gave you to use. That's the same respect anyone should be given.

You don't.  Chinese isn't phonetic, each symbol IS the word.  While you COULD get something that sounded vaguely like it, it might well mean something you hate.  For example, my name was Kathryn.  I was given the name Kai Ling.  And I can't remember what it means, even.

The compensation they receive is that they can actually get people to visit Yahoo! in China. Without that compliance, no one there could visit the Yahoo! site.

I guess the best place to find them is to search google with mandarin characters, the search engines will look all over the net for them..☺

Usually from Chinese or Taiwanese factories that manufacture them unbranded and then brand them with the logo of the buyer. This by the way is true for most "well respected" brands too.

The purpose of writing was not solely to reproduce spoken words. The purpose was to record ideas or a story in a concise way to preserve them or to convey them to other people.\n\nChinese characters are based on pictographs. These pictographs are symbols of things like a roof or a pig. In Chinese, the word for house is based on the old agrarian concept of a home. It is written with the symbol for roof over the symbol for pig.\n\nThe combination of symbols or pictographs maybe based on an idea or a simplified representation of a things appearance. These symbols or pictographs may be combined to form other words or concepts. An idea may be conveyed with the same pictographs but the spoken form or pronunciation may differ.\n\nChina encompasses a large geographic area w/ many topographical barriers with a ethnically and regionally diverse population. This vastness lent itself to regional dialects and pronunciations. Chinese emperors standardized the written language throughout the country in order to unify the regions of their kingdom and foster communication. Since written messages were the primary means of conveying laws or decrees it worked.

大麻 dà má hemp; marijuana;\nI hope you don't want this as a tattoo. If you are going to get a chinese tattoo, first learn the language so you know what it is you are putting on yourself

Do a search on the Dept. of State government website and see if they have anything.\n\nI know that in China some things have changed, but not enough. Not too long ago, a class of school children were killedand injured making fireworks during school, which they were forced to do.  95% of fireworks in the U.S. are made in China.\n\nIf you are interested, e-mail me and I will send you my research paper on whether U.S. businesses should do business in China with regard to human rights issues.  It may give you some thoughts and leads.\n\nSue

I also speak chinese myself. It's just like English , the length depends on what you say. That may be short as \n\n「好!」(Hao)= "Ok!" \n「嗯。」（Um）= just a sound that shows agreement.="Yeah."\n.....\nIn some academic sentences, it can be as long as\n\n「有不少研究機構提醒電磁波對人體可能會造成危害，\n國內已經有廠商開發出用銀纖維編織成的防電磁波布，\n布料除了可以做成圍裙孕婦裝外，還可以作成手機套遮蔽\n多餘的電磁波。」\n\n="Many organizations say Hertzian waves may harm the human body, there is an internal (Taiwan) factory invented "anti-hertzian waves cloths" with silver fiber, the cloths are more than for an apron, pregnant clothes, but a cell phone cover to block Hertzian waves."\n\nIt's almost a little paragraph, but we use punctuation marks to separate them into many parts. \n\nChinese=English--> (。=.)(，=,)(「」=" ")(!=!)(?=?)
