Anyone considering a tattoo with Chinese characters should be sure the orientation and the individual strokes are handled correctly. Characters in tattoos are sometimes applied upside-down or incorrectly drawn.

Simplified Characters vs. Traditional

Characters provided will be the Simplified ones as they occur unless you request Traditional characters. Your child's documents are most likely in Simplified characters. (You may, of course,order both if your child's name includes any of the Simplified characters.) Please see the following.

In the 1950s and '60s, a project to reform language resulted in the simplification of about 30% of the 7,000 or so characters in general use. (The affected number is this large because some radicals were also simplified, thereby affecting all the characters in which any of them occur. A radical is imprecisely described as a character within another character.) Publications and education in the PRC use the simplified characters.

Example of simplified character: song (first tone), meaning loose; slack.
