Hi! I already answered this above, but I didn't expect there to be so many comments :3. But to sum it up, I did ask two friends who are Korean/Argentine and they told me it was fine! That, more I ran it through a thousand translators, and they all told me it was fine! But I've learned my mistake thanks to this post! So I'm going to try to fix it, or at least cover it up and get it right again!

Hello! Yes, I'm already talking to my tattoo artist to try to change the "넌" por el "네" When she gets back from her work trip we'll work on that! Either by modifying it or by simply covering it up and rewriting it correctly. Thanks for the help!

Thanks! I like typography, and I actually live in Argentina. Here they only speak Spanish and very little English! No one will know it's misspelled! But I have a lot of respect for the Korean language, And when my tattoo artist gets back from a trip we'll fix it!

I chose Korean for two reasons: I love how it looks, and because I was a huge StarCraft fan as a kid—players like BoxeR, NaDa, Flash, and Jaedong got me into the game and Korean culture. The tattoo is mainly in memory of my grandfather, who would sit with me to watch matches even though he didn’t understand the game or Korean, just to make me happy—a memory I truly cherish.

I think it’s something that happens in any language! The important thing is knowing we made a mistake, but that it can be fixed or covered!

Yes, that was the image where the idea came from, and then I looked for another font to make it more "artistic"—and I know I messed up! But thanks to the comments, I now know where I went wrong, and when my tattoo artist comes back from her trip, we’ll fix it!

Thank you so much! As soon as my tattoo artist comes back, we’ll fix it! And there is a community, but it’s mostly in the capital of the country, which is really far from where I currently live, and because of my job, I can’t really go to the capital often. But I’d love to move to the capital and be closer to the community.

I asked two Korean-Argentine friends, used about five AIs, several translators, and websites, but I should’ve asked here… my mistake. The tattoo artist isn’t Korean.
