Just like in English we have the alphabet; the Chinese people have characters involved in their writing. In fact their writings can be used as a display of art. Not only are their characters so dramatically interesting, but they are also artistic by themselves.
The Chinese Symbol Family includes symbols that can be categorized by animals like how the Chinese Zodiac or simply by traits and characteristics. Traits like love, joy, and others are in symbols in the Chinese Symbol Family. A family of symbols like the Chinese Zodiac includes rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. We all know that tattoos are a form of individual expression. Some like getting tattoos on their hands which may typically be the symbol for strength or power which may indicate that they are strong and powerful; on the other hand it may just be in their tasting. So eventually some would explore what symbol they like and may choose to have it anywhere in the body.
Some symbols can be written larger while some smaller than the others. And instead of having tattoos some chose to get paintings. They can usually be found in the form of the character written in a larger font and underneath the symbol it says what it means. These symbols do not have to be just separated; it can be grouped together like a sentence to make it clearer or just to simply make it more detailed in meaning. For example the symbol of "strength" and "love" together could mean that the person's love is strong.
Everyone has a different point of view on how the world runs, so it is a definite possibility that they may interpret your symbols in a different way. Just another example could be given like the symbol of "power" and "lion" for you it means "I'm as strong as a lion" others could see it as "powerful lion" it may not make much of a difference, but it would not hurt to make things clarified just to know.
Now this is just the art things that are commonly used or known of, there may be more out there that not everyone knows of. Try to put write down the symbols that you like on your backpack to show your trait. The strokes on the other hand are a little bit difficult if you do not do it right it can change the meaning of the symbol being written altogether. Every symbol in the Chinese symbol family can possibly mean a trait or an animal; you can use them as art and manipulate their arrangement to mean something you want.
A tattoo is all about individualism. Take that away and you just have ink. That's why you want a tattoo design that looks amazing now and in the future.
