The Chinese characters for Nicholas

As a transliteration, Nicholas is usually written 尼古拉斯 (Ní gǔ lā sī). These characters are chosen for their sound, not their meaning, and they are given here for reference — Moying does not translate names. Please have a person review the characters before any permanent use such as a tattoo.

How Nicholas is written

Moying draws each letter of Nicholas with a brush font made for Chinese calligraphy, so the name keeps its spelling but gains the weight, stroke and ink-on-paper texture of traditional writing. Five styles are available — Neat, Regular, Flowing, Grass and Wild — along with horizontal or vertical layout.
