Big Boss
Lori from Massachusetts requested the Chinese translation for “big boss” as in “the big boss came into town”… also the title of Bruce Lee’s debut martial arts flick… betcha didn’t know that (’cause frankly I didn’t… lol).

… where essentially the first character means “big,” the second character means “old,” and the third character is one of those characters that is typically combined with other characters to make sense… so in this case, the second and third characters together translate as “boss.”
Want to see these characters embroidered on a women’s or unisex t-shirt? Or on a women’s or unisex tank top? Click the appropriate preceding link. Got a translation request of your own? Contact me!

Glad I can help!
… and if you’re going to get a tattoo… consider skipping a lunch out, and order my company’s Chinese character e-book, where you’ll get your characters done *correctly* in 15 different writing styles. Remember, it can cost several hundred dollars over numerous painful sessions to remove an incorrectly done tattoo. *Trust* me, I’ve seen ‘em.
