It translates into english as paradise. but when someone says “tian tang”, they mean heaven

different names for the same thing.

for those out there who are thinking about getting a tattoo, esp in chinese characters; do so AFTER doing proper research. The best would be seek confirmation from academic professionals fluent in the language.
