I guess asian tatoos are in these days , I did hear of an amusing incident of one of those macho types getting one from an asian tatoo artist who carfully did the usual artistic capitalized chinese text saying " small penis". Not knowing any better he paid his dues and left a happy man .
I wonder if the laughing stock of the local asian comunity has cottoned on yet .

you could try shrinking it until its smooth and then print it in real high quality then scan it in with the output size cranked up and set the res at 300.

Hi… I have this cool pic that a friend made… It’s design is comparable with those chinese tatoos in composition and it is black and white… The problem is that it’s a bit pixelated around the edges…. How can I smoothen the edges on it, without blurring it?… I want to keep it as sharp as it is….
I’m not sure what Chinese tatoos look like. If they have solid areas of black, as opposed to a lot of thin line art, the following may work
well.
Start by blurring it a bit, say a Gaussian Blur with radius of 2, until
you
can’t see the jaggies easily. Then use Image>Adjust>Levels to sharpen
up
the edges again.
