CAS746 Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 I'm Korean and I want to get a tattoo this Christmas. My design will be the meaning of my name in Korean. Is there a way to go somewhere online and find out if the design I have is correct?
Shito Ryu Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 I don't know about Korean, but I go to this place for chinese and japanese they may have a korean site too..... --> http://chineseculture.about.com/ Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate....
Shito Ryu Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Or look for a local TKD school that is run by a korean Master. He would most likely be able to do it for you. Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate....
White_Tiger Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 If you are Korean why not get one of your relatives to show you?
Shorin Ryuu Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 Are you wishing to use the Chinese characters for it or the actual Korean Hangul? Like Japanese, Korean writing has a script unique to itself, but incorporates the Chinese characters for the base of the words in the sentence, using the Korean script for conjucation, particles, and the like. Of course, the Korean government has gone back and forth on this, sometimes having publications, schoolbooks, newspapers, etc. either using both or just only the Korean phonetic alphabet. Currently, I believe Korea is in the "Hangul only phase", but in higher academic circles, you learn the Chinese characters anyway. The only reason why I brought this up is because you wrote "My design will be the meaning of my name in Korean." The Korean Hangul itself is not ideographic and meaning based, like the Chinese language (the characters). Instead, it is phonetic and the letters form groups of syllables (Just think of it was English, broken into syllables). So the question is, are you actually writing it in using the Korean alphabet or the Chinese characters used in Korean writing? Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/

Red J Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Yeah, you want to make sure you get the real deal and not something that says "sucker". It has happened before. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
