I'm pretty sure that's Tatsu from MUCC. that pic comes up when you search for him on photobucket.

ok.... nm... I clicked on the pic, it's just a cosplay... I wonder though if he ever actually looked that way.

anyway...

I sure can't translate that.

lol...i believe that this is some religious tradition. Anyways since its all in kanji and i come from a Chinese family, I'll ask my mom later on the day to translate this if she can see the letters because blurred...
the Chinese knows every "kanji" its the only writing they have/use ...so hard to memorize all when not taught it as a little kid... :(

:) i'll edit the post when I get my mom to translate:mtongue:

nevermind...too blurry even for a 100% Chinese native :P

since it is kinda ontopic.. turns out Tatsu has looked like that.

So I gather that's a no? lol It can't be translated, at least not in traditional Japanese writing text?

It will be either sutras or an old Chinese text. Either way it is impossible to translate the entire text as obviously her hair covers more than half of what's on her face, and the characters on her chin and neck are blurred/smudged/indistinct.

A few random characters I can make out have the meanings "bamboo", "breath", "wave", "colour" and "heart".

I meant to say as well- it was pretty obviously the Belgian girl was lying about falling asleep and waking up with a lot more stars on her face than she wanted- you could not fall asleep while getting a tattoo unless you were on some pretty heavy drugs, I swear to you. A pain-free procedure it is not.
