I like Chinese tattoo's, have the symbols on my own neck too, running down like yours, although mine is only three characters. I think I recognise some of your characters Vicky, does the top one translate as Mother, and the third one down Father?

I'm planning on a half sleeve themed on Chinese Dragons ( that will include 9 peoples names in Chinese symbols ) from the wrist to elbow on my right arm, a Yin Yang with some Koi fish swimming around it, then in future a few randomly placed Chinese Lotus flowers.
