你对纹身有什么看法？你身上有纹身吗？也许是受到电视或电影的影响，我们很多人都觉得纹身是黑社会的标志，身上有纹身的人都不是什么好人。随着时代的变化，这样的观念也有了转变，一些人开始改变了他们的想法，觉得纹身也是一门艺术。

How is that horrifying? The Chinese characters on his arms are so beautiful! It's simply calligraphy on a person's body. Actually, tattoos are a kind of art.
我还是比较传统总觉得纹身是黑社会的标记不过外国人倒对纹中国字特别入迷好莱坞明星球星身上经常都纹着我们的文字也算是推广中国文化吧

I'm still pretty traditional. I've always felt that tattoos are a symbol of organized crime. But foreigners are really into getting tattoos of Chinese characters. Hollywood stars, NBA stars- they often get our characters tattooed all over their bodies. Call it ''promoting Chinese culture."
他们特别喜欢纹一些表达中国传统思想的汉字忠孝仁义忍可是最受欢迎的纹身字样哎这倒有点像岳母刺字的故事不过好多外国人也不太懂这些文字的意思他们只是单纯地觉得字很漂亮

They really like characters that depict traditional Chinese culture. The most popular characters for body tattoos are ''Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, justice , forbearance." This is a little like the story of Yue Fei's mother-in-law's tattoos. But a lot of foreigners don't really understand what the characters mean. They just innocently see them as beautiful.
