Big Mistake



This young man got two Chinese characters tattooed on his bicep and was told they meant "courage". I have posted about the exact same tattoo earlier, when I first saw it in 2003.

The phrase means “big mistake" or "shortcoming".

Heh. With the dot at the upper right the first character means "dog".

大過, "Da Guo" is #28 of the hexagrams in I-Ching which also mean "Great Exceeding".

Here is the reference.
