Chen Hanwei revealed hip to show his body tattoo.   

   Chen Hanwei "revealed hip" to show his body tattoo.

   Yesterday during the recording of Channel 8 variety show "Celebrities Match 2004", Chen Hanwei who was dressed in swimming trunk, obligingly "unveiled" a corner of his speedo to allow the reporter photograph his dragon-shaped body tattoo.

    His tattoo was done last year. He paid a Japanese artist he met about $100 for the design, and shelled out another $100 for the tattoo to be done in a local tattoo parlour.

   He chose the dragon design not because his zodiac sign is dragon. Hanwei who is 35 years old is a rooster.

   He decided to tattoo on his hip because it is not so easily seen and could easily be covered up by clothes.

   I frequently play the good guy in dramas, so I have to make sure that the tattoo is not too visible. By putting it on my hip, the tattoo is for my eyes only" 

    But Chen Hanwei said it was a very painful experience, and he didn't think he'll  tatoo any thing new.
