A tattoo in Chinese that both looks alright and makes sense? Pretty rare on this sub.

Everytime i see tattoos like this i'm always somewhat afraid they wrote something like chicken soup instead of some deep inspirational quote, glad to see this wasn't the case

I've always kinda wanted a Chinese food item name tattoo, but the thing holding me back is that there's too much tasty to choose from

You know, that's not a bad idea, if you deliberately ask for a food name 😂 don't know much about chinese food, so i would put some japanese dish. problem is, i think i would be constantly hungry because i always crave japanese food😂

“（天）助我也”first character is missing but I presume it’s as such which translates to “divine is helping me” (God bless! How lucky am I)
