Dan and I went to dinner tonight to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. We went to a vegan Chinese place that I had been to before.
Dan pointed out a kanji that seemed to say "vegan". I asked the manager and she confirmed that it meant "vegan".
I've been wanting to get another tattoo and wanted something to represent my veganism and this spoke to me.
I just googled "vegan chinese symbol" but didn't really find anything besides the letters spelled out individually, but the one we saw was definitely one symbol.

My ideal new tat would be something vegan that represents why I'm vegan (something with cows, pigs, sheep, etc), but I liked this one for some reason. Maybe this will be my first vegan tat with an AR tat to follow.

Anyway, does anyone have the vegan Chinese symbol or know where I could find a pic of it?

Happy Anniversary my3labs! :toast:
Unfortunately I have no idea where to find a Chinese symbol for "vegan". I'm actually surprised to know that there is one. You might have to go back to the restaurant.

sorry my3labs all i could find was the word vegan spelled out, not one symbol hope you find one if you do post it on here.

Why don't you swing by the restaurant and ask them if they have the design printed out somewhere?

Happy Anniversary!!

But no one, except those of us fluent in a Chinese language, will know what it's supposed to be. Why not have a green 'V' or the British Vegan Society's symbol? Or even the word itself, surrounded by flowers or pig, cow and chicken faces.
