Ok to cut a long story short. My cousin died last Christmas. When he was alive he loved Chinese culture and was a pretty good artist too. A few years ago my brother had his room decorated in a Chinese theme, and my cousin painted two Chinese dragons on the wall for him. My brother's room has just been redecorated and I thought it was a shame to have to dragons covered up and forgotten so I want to get one tattoo'd on me as it's quite sentimental. I've tried to create a design as best I could.
I wanted his name (Chris James) on either side of the dragon in Chinese. But I don't know how the symbols need to be arranged. I've used symbols I found online (they were the same on a number of sites I checked so I'm assuming they are correct?):

Here's what I've done but I think Chinese is read right to left isn't it so I don't know if I've arranged the symbols correctly... Also, opinions?
