Tattoo by Dan Forbes at Mojo Studios in Peoria, IL. The only time I’ve ever been to Peoria (when I was a kid; family friends lived there), I talked to a farmer for a long time about how his arm had been torn off by an auger. Then I went to a Ren Fair and watched some jousting.

If it’s Chinese characters, then I think that it’s meant to be bian tai, which would translate as “change appearance”. Except that the first character has a mistake, very slight, using the wrong radical, so that character doesn’t actually exist. As far as I know. Also if the first character *is* bian, then it’s the simplified version, whereas the tai is the traditional version, so they’ve kind of mixed and matched. But I reserve the right to be wrong 🙂

Impified, does that first character exist then? I’d never seen it and I couldn’t find it when I looked it up. It would make much more sense if it meant perverted, it’s the kind of thing that someone would want to tattoo on their crotch 🙂 It still looks like it’s a simplified character though. Maybe that’s why I don’t recognise it.

Found it… biantai can mean metamorphosis or perversion. I was right about the simplified/traditional thing though.

I love the connection there between metamorphosis and perversion/kink. Something to muse about… 🙂
