Just don't get a bunch of tattoos in characters you don't understand after only asking one guy to spell it for you. An MMA fan I know from Wales did it because he thought what his tattoo said meant something really deep, thoughtful etc. then when translated just said 'Punch' in Mandarin.

That actually sounds like a pretty cool tat to have.

Granted it isn't bad, however the result may have been something a lot worse and not to mention his aim wasn't to have 'Punch' put on his arm, he had wanted something else. :P It could have said Soy Sauce for all he knew.

As a tattoo artist, I would suggest giving your ideas to a good tattoo artist in your area and letting them crest something in their style. They always put more into their own creations. Meaning, it will be performed with more scrutiny by the artist.

They should be able to take one of the traditional thai designs and modernize it too.

I will update if I everhit a milestone that's worth a tattoo, but daido I agree that collaborating with the artist is the way to do it.
