Can anyone work out this tattoo? It has my baffled, it's look like Chinese but I can't identify any of the characters.

Apologises for the small size.

It's difficult to read, but I think it says "I love Jenny Zhu"! Sorry 巴泽, I couldn't resist. I enlarged and sharpened it a bit in PS...still difficult to read, but a little better.

She's my wife! She's my wife! I had a picture with her first! Then Bazza stole her. Bazza posts more, so I see why he gets credit for being the one being with Jenny. Woe is me. ;)

I think best translation of 京加津举 I can make is "capital and raising damp"

www.xuezhongwen.net translates it as: "Beijing adds Tianjin to lift." Any of the above translations would make for a really great tattoo!

Oh, I see it now, they're on there side and looks like they're a mirror image as well. Looks like 京加津举.

Well, I have to say one thing for you Baz, you do have good taste in women. I think I would sneak Shu Qi in between our Pod Queen and Gong Li however. Maybe evern Zhang Ziyi would go in there somewhere but Jenny is still head and shoulders above the rest. IMHO (I hope that means what I think it means :-) Did you see Miami vice (Gong LI)?. How about the transporter (Shu Qi) I also like Lin Di from cold Fairyland - something about that Pipa. Hope I spelled that right.

Let me add that if we are talking about looks, Jen wins. If we are talking about class, intelligence, character, and a good heart, I dont know much about these actresses, but they would have to be pretty special to even come close to JZ. Is it still 拍马屁 (pai ma pi), if its true?

Bazza, you know you are going to have to change that avatar some day. If Jen ever gets a serious boyfriend he may fly to UK just to punch you right in the eye.:-) Who knows. She may have one already. Do you sleep with a gun under your pillow? Oh yeah, that was that other british guy (James Bond). I would be very careful if I were you, but then you did say danger was your middle name. Or was it phillip? :-)
