It certainly adds a certain spin to Kanji/Hanzi tatoos when you can actually read them. I would personally never get something inked on my body that I wasn't able to read or that I wouldn't want anthropologists finding on my remains if I were dug up in the future. (that could make for a funny skit in and of itself...whites must have spoken Chinese as they are all plastered with tatoos of Kanji)    Anyway, Chinese characters look quite nice stylized in some buildings and works of art, but all the tatoos I see of the characters themselves simply look cheap to me. Sorry, but that's my opinion. If you want to do something that looks good, why not a nice Latin quote instead?
