No, I am not a big fan of tattoo's. I'm not against it, and I've seen some pretty cool ones' before, but I'd rather get a fake tattoo that rubs off. So what does yours look like since you are so interested in finding out what design others have? (Drunk!

 

He he, I said: "rubs"!

I got a Li River Catfish, which is quite well known in Guilin.

Got it when I first moved to Guilin and I do not regret it at all.

Thumb up no 2 is mine.

I've thought about it many times but never did,..for those who have, did they use new needles when they did the tattoo?

Rin:

Yeah, they unwrap the new needles in front of you.

I don't have any, don't mind some on Chinese women. One girl I know went away and when she came back, she had half her face done, didn't care for it.

 Tats have been around long enough that at home upper middle aged women are walking around with their arms covered in em, can't say I like it either.

GuilinRaf:

Lol!

Yes, the tattoo craze that swept the US and Canada in the late 80's and early 90's! Those  20 year old college students are now 40+ year old middle agers...

In the year 2000, there was a commercial shown in the movie theaters in Puerto Rico about health insurance, and they showed very old people with arm tattoos, old ladies with pierced tongues, etc. and the tag line was, (in order to encourage us to think of old age insurance now) something like "you are  young today, but in 50 years what will you do...?

i plan to have one,but i am afraid it will be quite painful.By the way,how much does it usually cost?

GuilinRaf:

Mine was 800 RMB. It is on my triceps and is brightly colored.

The pain is not exactly like wen you get an injection.  To be honest, i found tha pain quite relaxing, which surprised me.  However, after four  hours,  I was very happy when it was done!

Rin:

I've had three done in China. Actually the first two were free because a friend of a friend was opening a tattoo parlour.

This recent one cost 800 RMB. Not so cheap, probably about the same as it would of cost in England.

As for pain, it depends where you get it. My most painful one was probably the one on my hip bone. The ones on my arms weren't so painful.

Chinese friends are amused at foreigners getting chinese characters tattooed on them, especially when they think they are getting one 'awsome' character, but in reality get something else - ha ha

I like fat women that wear their jeans low so they can proudly show off the picture of a butterfly they have tattooed directly above their anus... Super sexy...  ... Shift+R improves the quality of this image. Shift+A improves the quality of all images on this page.

A:That is a typical Chinese style blackmail! I wouldn't worry for the WP application expiration at all!WP application doesn't expire. It is either approved or rejected and that is known fairly fast, 2-weeks time the longest. I'd find another employer, Z visa sponsor ASAP, sign new contract and start with WP application all over again. You might also try and find out at which office your employer applied for WP and speak to them (.gov) in person. They have at least one person there, who understands and speaks English. I'd say, your employer most likely never applied for anything. Employers in China must hold an authorization certificate to hire foreigners. If an employer doesn't have such an authorization, it cannot sponsor foreigner for a Working permit and Z visa.Most language schools in China don't have such an authorization, because it's a costly thing to obtain for one ...You could also ask your employer to show you a foreign hire authorization certificate. It's an A4 format paper with text in Mandarin and several red-ish ink stamps.I've always wanted to see an employer's foreign hire authorization before I've inked the new contract. That prevented many shady deals employers in China were/are playing. See this: https://english.www.gov.cn/services/liveandworkinchina There are two web links on the bottom. Send them a message and find out, if that Chinese state org. can advise and help you. Good luck! -- icnif77
