Week 1 Image


Chinese calligraphy meaning "Eternal Life".
Tattoo
My sister
Kanji form of Chinese calligraphy
It's a very simple tattoo, I don't know if the quality is well done. To me it looks even and nicely done.
I was drawn to this tattoo as it was my sisters. Its very simple and makes a statement.
This relates to what we have read as it is a form of Chinese calligraphy and shows how it has survived until this age.



Greek tattoo the word "charis" meaning "grace" in English
Tattoo
My sister's wrist. (upside down in this photo)
Written modern Greek language in the Greek form of script.
Again, it is a simple tattoo. I like how it was written and seems to be done well.
I was attracted to this tattoo in particular because it is a different form of Greek than the ancient one in which we studied. It flows more than the ancient alphabet and has a more cursive-look to it.
This relates to our discussion as it is an example of how the Greek language has changed from the ancient form it once was.
