Batista's Tatoo

**What Would Kevin Do?** · 02-09-2005, 01:06 AM

Okay, on Batista's left arm, he has two characters tatooed. They're either Japanese or Chinese (could be either, since Japanese Kanji is adapted from Chinese) I know the first character from the shoulder stands for "Heaven" in Japanese. Does anyone have any clue what the second one is? It's not hell BTW, I checked into that (atleast not in Japanese)

dragon [back]
kanji script 'heavens messenger/angel' [left arm]
flames [navel]
dragon and kanji script [right arm]

WHOO!! Thanks! I was trying to figure out the Kanji by the radicals, and it was a pain in the ass.

The character in red on his left arm.. thats the same symbol Akuma/Gouki has on his back in the Street Fighter games, and as far as I know it means Hell/Demon/Devil.

So they could both mean Heaven & Hell, in which case he has Hell at the top.

I was thinking the same.I actually caled it the "Akuma tattoe thingy" until I learnt what it was.
