莲呢 - lian ne. Which I guess translates as "What about the lotus?" or something. Perhaps an
attempt to translate a name (Leanne?) into Chinese.

I read this and I just can't stop laughing. "What about the Lotus?" That is too much.

Poor guy: "good and evil"

To the victim:

Sorry to laugh. Don't worry most people will never know. You can tell the average American
whatever you want.

Please tell your tattoo buddies to go here first:

Or if you are considering getting a Chinese tattoo see this site also.

It may be too late for you but you can save your buddies. Or you can not say anything and you
recommend them to get one also. Then misery will have company and you can get a laugh too

the 尼 is not the particle 呢 , I checked wenlin and 尼 means Buddhist nun, but it says that
it's used a lot for loan words now.
hope it helps

Maybe it's supposed to be "Lenny".

You could check out this site as well http://www.hanzismatter.com/

... and anyway, after witnessing so many foul deeds by ignorant/superficial tattooers, I think we
should found an association to be named ACCLAMAT (Angry Chinese Character Lovers Against MAd
Tattooers)! Join us!

I agree with roddy. It looks to me like there is a small, badly drawn 口 radical at the top left
of the character, which would make it 呢 instead of 尼.

Either way though, it still doesn't mean good and evil.
