Questions
Is the name really Chinese, or just my name in Chinese sounds?
Really Chinese. A transliteration like 艾米丽·沃森 is how newspapers write foreign names; nobody is called that. We give you a family name from the Hundred Surnames and a given name of one or two characters, the shape every Chinese name has. You can ask for a sound-first version if you prefer.
Who checks it?
The candidates are proposed by a language model and filtered by rules a Chinese parent would use: common characters, no awkward homophones, nothing that reads as a word. Anything we sell as a tattoo design or certificate is also read by a native Mandarin speaker, who signs the certificate.
How is the calligraphy made?
By an image model that paints the characters of your reviewed name on paper; we lift the ink off the paper, trace it into vectors and typeset the poster. Seals are set in a genuine seal-script typeface, so every character is a correct historical form.
What do I get, and can I print it?
Transparent PNG at full resolution, SVG vector that stays sharp at any size, a 9:16 poster, and for calligraphy a set of A4 practice sheets. Print, frame, embroider, engrave: the files are yours for personal use.
Can I use it for a tattoo?
Yes. The tattoo pack adds a stencil PDF at the exact size you want on skin, placement mockups and a certificate of meaning you can show your artist. The design is yours; placement and technique are the artist's call.
