this is just a rough drawing because i saw this symbol awhile ago it might not be perfect but it's pretty close to what it was. i was just wondering what it means so i could get a better pic of it because i like it. so if you know that would be awesome.

It doesn't look like Chinese. Could it be Japanese? See this URL below:

Posted by getyourgun
yes it could possibly be japanese. here is another pic of it as an actual tattoo, it's small but if i made it any bigger it got really blurry.

It's not chinese DEFINITELY, don't think it's Japanese either never seen such a lousy TATTOO anyway probably a Tattoo turn BAD maybe this guy don't have the money to finish up his Tattoo so it stays there permanent

errmmm... it ain't Arabic that's for sure!

at first, i thought it's alibata (the pre-hispanic Philippine alphabet system), but after looking at it again, i don't think it is. (well, im no language expert)

I know a little chinese but I dont recognize the character you wrote. May be its some form of old runic character???

Regarding GOwin's list of symbols. I would take a semi-informed guess... Tibetan? They looked similar to some of the Tibetan texts I've seen. Otherwise I would continue to guess for something coming from that region. In any case, they are definitely not Han characters.

@whytoi
as i said in the same post, it's [/b]alibata[/b]. an ancient filipino alphabet script.

gowin, at your first post, u post " i thought....." then u posted... "i dont think it is....."

@619
read previous post. i think you're a bit off.

specifically, whytoi's last post.

Posted by jaimingandhi
ha ha ha right click on the symbol and then see picture properties.
Its link is http://www.boomspeed.com/fckgirlx/sign.jpg
So now you know ...what it means

Posted by whytoi
Ok, so the confusion was that GOwin didn't specifically state those characters posted by him were ancient Philippine scripts.
