Taking that dictionary as a (not the) standard because it's big and it's good. In my experience,
if it's not in that dictionary, chances are it's not a word.
But that doesn't mean, of course, that people use all these words on a daily basis, just that they
exist and have a certain meaning. You seem to be Chinese, what would you say that 歡喜 means? Is
the 教育部國語辭典 wrong?

Chinese ppl use two "喜" together"喜喜" when ppl get married. cuz it's the thing between the
lovers. that does means happy. but if you wanna get a tattoo like this , it looks a lil bit
strange, maybe i should say strange, just not usual. but it looks cool anyway, if you like , just
go for it. Most foreigners cant get it. And it does look complicated. u'd better find a good
designor. hehe~

If I were you, I probabely will choose " 福". happy +lucky. and better make it upside down. it's
very typical Chinese way. means " the happyness is coming". very interesting!

My bf got a tattoo on his arm, it's Chinese charactor" 勇" means brave! it looks so fine~~~
good luck!

You should do like my cousin mate, go to your local Chinese restaurant and ask the staff. Bring
along a couple pictures of characters, and you can also ask them for suggestions. My cousin had
爱 tatooed on her arm and it looks good, but it still remains a mystery to me as to why she would
choose a language she knows nothing about. Personally if I was to get a 汉字 tatoo I would get
牛逼. Coolest looking tatoo by far .

cool man! ni tai niu bi!heheheh~
well, two of my friends, volunteers of Project Trust, they got something funny on their skin.
“牛肉面”(beef noodle)and“干拌面”( another kinda muslim noodle in China, some ppl
call it cold salad noodles )which crack me out when i saw them. And they think it's the most funny
tattoo they got. Foreigners don't understand, and Chinese will always have the same reflection as
I did.

cheers!
