LOL! A guy at work recently asked me to look up the greek word for "passion" on the internet - which i did. The day after he came in with it tattood inside his forearm about 6x2 inches. I hope I got it right :Angel:
Just think of the things you could Tattoo; Like 'Kick Me!' on someones Butt, or 'Mummys Boy' on some big UFC type guy.
This makes me think twice on who i get to do my tat and what he/she put on me. But i like the story, i cracked up.
It's funny if you look at it as an outsider, but you've got to feel sorry for the people who are sporting his "artwork" (if it's true). If I was going to have a tatoo done (which I'm definitely not) I'd check the meaning of the word, preferably from several different sources, and tell the person the translation of the word I wanted, not the word in English. Still, rolf
I've heard a few stories like this, not sure how true they are. I think some of the main culprits have been English speaking people trying to do Japanese etc tattoos. It would probably look stupid to Japanese people even when its spelt right!
As one hwo has several tattoos, and a few in kanji, the guy should be locked up, sodomized and used like a naughty puppy. (apologies to any dog lovers). I always check my kanji and sources before getting a tat. Still, it gives the tattooist no right whatsoever to change the tattoo that I AM PAYING for. How would you like it if you ordered a vegetarian lunch and got a big ole plate of fried bacon, because the chef did not like vegetarians? Or went to have your oil changed in the car and instead they aired your tires, because they didn't like the car you were driving.
