Re: Tattoo
Dahlin', for you da woild.
It's either the kanji (Chinese character) 力 read chikara "strength" (or ryoku or riki in compounds) or the Japanese katakana character カ expressing the syllable "ka".
Since the latter doesn't make any sense in context (unless the guy's name is Ka ), I'd say it's the kanji.
Come on, someone give me a difficult one!

I'd bet it means strength, since it's in a superman shield.

Re: Tattoo
Well that's what he said was told to him, but then we were joking that it could mean anything and he wouldn't know it.
I thought a few here might would know. I admit, Chig was the first one to pop into my mind but also Thing and Omph.
Thanks gentlemen

And I'm still trying to talk myself into a simple tattoo.

Re: Tattoo
I have my ideas for tattoos, but they're mostly inspired from my own writing so I wouldn't feel right getting them unless they were published.

Re: Tattoo
I've got a 14g piercing (slightly larger than your standard earring, but nothing outrageous) in each ear.
Been thinking about a tattoo or two, but can't think of anything that wouldn't be cliched or ridiculous.
Anyone got any ideas for a Dune-related tattoo? I asked Trang about it years ago and the answer he gave was somewhat disturbing...

Re: Tattoo
I have to applaud that tattoo. Not only does it look good, it actually subverts two of the biggest modern tattoo cliches (Superman symbols and Chinese/Japanese letters). I'm impressed.

Re: Tattoo
My sister told me today she plans on a new Dune tattoo. She asked me if I know any chaboksa or maudru runes, since a dune tattoo should of course be done properly.
Anybody have any links to images of these languages?
(I know chaboksa is a vocal/gesture language, is there a written form?)
thanks

That's how I wrote the novel, wanting you to participate with the best of your own imagination. I did not aim for the lowest common denominator and 'write down" to anyone. You and I have a compact and my responsibility is to entertain you as richly as possible, always giving you as much extra as I can. I assume you are intelligent and will enlist your own imagination. You'll see that when you read the Dune excerpt and the other stories in this collection.

Re: Tattoo
ZING!!!
Oh, I know, your SISTER reads McDune but you don't, right?
Joke.
Did you tell your "sister" that if she wanted a Dune tattoo that was "done proper", there wouldn't be any possibility of any "maudru rune", because THERE ARE NO FUCKING MUADRU [sic]!semuta wrote:My sister told me today she plans on a new Dune tattoo.
