Or if those are totally wrong, let me know also
Thanks!  |
The first one can't really stand alone by itself, but it means 'luck'.
The second one can't be by itself, either, and it means 'blessed; fortune; happiness'.
The third one means 'happiness'.
My recommendation: please don't get an actual tattoo... Way too many people end up with incomprehensible 'exotically cool' Asian tattoos. But if you really have the urge to, then may I suggest this for 'Good Fortune':
幸運 = 'Luck' (in a positive tone)
or
好運 = 'Good Luck/Fortune'

You might end up being this guy.
Earth Water Fire and Empty.
Awesome way to show your elements. |
The
hanzi for 'Empty' can also be interpreted as 'Sky'.
That'd be fine. And the character in the center is 'God'.
