    I dont know about studios in Galway, but from what little knowledge I have of Kanji that means:
    "white man stupid to get lettering on body he not understand"
    I think you'll find it might also mean "exploding diarrhoea", but I'm not sure about that one.

    lot of stories online about artists who only know one or two kanji symbols and use them for anything that they are asked to translate.

    Be very careful if you decide to go with Kanji it really doesn't work like English and cant be abused to look like a translation mostly.

    First character is: Xiao
    Second char: En

    Not used together normally. A guess is: Small token of gratitute.

    But its better to find a book of translations and pick one you like. Do not trust the images on a wall or pictures on web ;)
