The next time anyone gripes, and moans and groans and asks WHY do we need to take classes in English or have spelling or anything else in this area in life because computers do everything for us now. First of all, computers are ONLY as intelligent as the person who programs it. Then, show them this tattoo. If I know most people under the age of 30, they ask, "well what's wrong with it?" That makes the point right there.

Since it's flipped I cant be sure. But I think it's "xie hua" (withered flower) "wei lian" (william in chinese). Did I read that wrongly? But pretty sure it isn't picnic table hahaha. The friend is just messing with her

Maybe you could someone defend it "A bass clef is strong and deep and powerful." Or something like that.

A bass clef is a note in music and this tattoo 'artist' turned it horizontal so it looks a bit like Arabic.

Hmmmmm...bass clef, low pitch? I don't see how's this equates to "powerful soul" but I do know men with true bass voices DO have powerful voices and usually beautiful souls.

Yep. That’s a bass clef. If they were going for powerful they should’ve gotten a tenor clef - it confuses most of us anyways.

If you look at it from upside down, it'll resemble the guy's expression when he learns what he really got.

Don't worry, you can turn it into a tortoise. (the two little circles on the bottom are the feet, the swirl can be turned into a shell of some sort, and then the point can be turned into a head.) Problem solved! 🐢

Do people not do their research! You check, double check and then triple check and once more for good measure

What does "colon six" mean? Maybe a sad guy with a fancy mustache...

Tattoos are pictures with different meanings to different people. There is most likely some reason why the bass clef means powerful soul to this guy.

I always figured this tattoo meant that you had a anchor in life and that you refused to let the storms of life sweep you away and make you sink. Not that you are an actual anchor.
