I recently had the mandarin phrase "nai li" tattooed on my low back, and now I am feeling very brave like I can conquer anything!Separately the first symbol means "to endure" and the second one means "power" or "strength". Combined the phrase means: "endurance". Its only about 1 1/2 in. long x 1 in. wide, so its pretty small, but boy did it hurt!!!
My reasons for getting the Mandarin phrase for endurance are: #1 - I am getting into the sport of endurance, and # 2 - because my main focus of study after my AA is going to be Chinese language, art and culture, and then one day I hope to build a career on that. With Chinese and Endurance being such a big part of my future it felt like the perfect tattoo. It looks really urban and cool, and I am really happy with the way it turned out!

Good start and good going.Keep it up.
Did you already know this phrase or did you look it up or what? It is a neat tattoo.
I knew the phrase and that it was what I wanted on my back but I didnt know what the characters looked like until I looked them up, I was glad it was neat looking. :)
