Quote:Crud, so much for my hopes against all reason. Considering we have an international group on here can anyone post a pic of the Chinese or Japanese symbols which stands for peace or for harmony? I've Googled it myself but I'm getting a multitude of different symbols and have no idea what is what. I don't want to send a Japanese/Chinese symbol thinking it means one thing only to find out later it means something silly like war or worse yet something crude and insulting.
Only other options, go with nothing on the face plates or select one of the wood finishes and ask for a refund on the artwork deposit and leave it at that.

That happened to a girl in my university. She came in with her new tattoo, all proud. She said, "It's Chinese; it means 'Serenity'." I heard the girl from Hong Kong in the corner giggle to herself and when I asked her later she said, "It means 'tea'." Not sure how the mixup happened.
Pro-tip: Never get a tattoo of something you can't read.post #3484 of 766211/26/12 at 12:02pm- sunninho

Reminds me of this article about a disgruntled Asian tattoo artist

Edited by sunninho - 11/26/12 at 12:07pmpost #3486 of 766211/26/12 at 12:46pmIs that light smoke? And what wood is being used there?
Also can someone tell me what wood is being used here?

Those are beautiful as well! I prefer the darker wood, and the blue gives it a little pizazz :)

After having them for a little over a week I came to the realization that the 3.Ai just didn't have a sound signature that I couldget into. I've really become to like a warmer mid forward sound and the 3.Ai was to bright and V shaped for me. It a great IEM for people that like a V shaped sou.d signature and a good TF10 upgrade.post #3493 of 766211/26/12 at 5:13pm- Kazenagi

I finally got my impressions done today after a week's wait but all these pictures are making it hard for me to decide between bamboo, mango wood, buckeye burl, siamese rosewood or a plain old white faceplate.post #3494 of 766211/26/12 at 5:40pm- Sinocelt
