I was thinking the ugliest tattoo ever would be a full color rendition of a pencil sticking out of Ernest Borgnine's asshole...but this is so much worse.
My ex got a chinese character on her back after I broke up with her. She says it means "strength". I'm sure the guy who did the artwork didn't know what he was actually writing. Next time I see her (we have mutual friends)... this is how I'll open the conversation.
Me: Guess what, I showed my chinese neighbor a pic of your tat. He translated it.
Ex: OK... what did he say.
Me: He said the symbol is upside down.
Ex: Ok... I guess that's alright
Me: He also said that the symbol means "slut"
If you really want to screw with someone, look at their chinese character tattoo and laugh.
When they ask what you are laughing about, just tell them "your tattoo".
When they tell you it means "peace and knowledge" just tell them "you don't speak mandarin, do you. It says 'beef with broccoli.'"
I travel to asia a few times a year and see people who don't speak english walking around with shirts that say things like "fan supporter club" or "today lets together make."
Americans are no different, they adorn themsleves with symbols that they can't understand.
庄富瑞
That is my name. Well, technically, it would be spelled 富瑞庄 if you wanted to use the technically proprer way of writing it (surname first, given name second.)
I have it on business cards but I'm not stupid enough to put in on skin.
