QUESTION: Are tattoos of Chinese symbols on people who are not Chinese considered disrespectful?
I have this idea for a Disney - inspired tattoo that I would like to do but I don't want to be disrespectful to an entire culture and nor do I want to be walking around with the wrong translation on my arm.
In the movie, Mulan, she writes "notes" on her arm for the "ideal wife" before meeting with the matchmaker and I want my tattoo to be my spin on this where instead my "notes" are for "the ideal woman" in my own personal opinion for myself. Just standards I'd like to uphold for myself.
I've included words / symbols that come close to representing what I'd like to convey but I'd like someone who's fluent in the language to guide me in the best direction to achieve what I'm looking for.
I'd like it to read: "Honest, Loving, Playful, Courageous, Ambitious, Resilient, Calm" but I couldn't find those exact words anywhere and I'm sure there's a translation barrier but I wanted to know if there's a better way to get my message across for my tattoo. Is there anyone who's had Chinese tattoos done before and/or speaks the language and can best guide me on this one? Or guide me away from the idea if it's offensive in any way?
