Chinese writing is a vast world of art and ideas, with probably over 30 thousand different characters, nobody knows for sure how many there are. Not knowing what a character is, to strip it of meaning or cultural baggage, kind of frees one up to appreciate the rhythm and delicate balance of lines as their own thing.
Then again, you do not want to end up with PIG SWAMP MOUNTAIN DWARF NOODLE in permanent ink on your skin.
If you want to see Ewan McGregor naked and his body covered in Chinese calligraphy, sometime between Trainspotting and Star Wars, do check out Peter Greenaway's bonkers visual masterpiece The Pillow Book.
Perfectly explainable.
"Pig Swamp" was our frat name in college.
"Mountain Dwarf Noodle" was my nickname.
Could also be the cousin hold of the most venerable dwarven hold "Boat Murder"
Uh yes please!
Well, three of those five words are awesome together. SWAMP MOUNTAIN DWARF.
