It pays to be able to read Mandarin

Ok. The pic might be hard to read so I'll type up below it.

That teenager paid 90 pounds to get a tatoo with the chinese characters you see on his arm. He thought he was getting 'Love' 'Honour' and 'Obey' but what it really says is 'At the end of the day, this is an ugly boy' :lol:

The rest of the article talks about how he found out and the fact he's going to pay 600 pounds to get it removed.

There is word to the wise about having a foreign language tatooed on your body. :rofl:

:lol2: now THATS funny

what a moron. I have a friend who is getting a tattoo removed, but i dont know what its going to cost him.

pfft, this is why you should avoid those trendy ass chinese and japanese lettering tattoos

OOO i speak mandarin, i cant really see but i know what two of the characters mean, but i just had a final and it sucked, my friend who went to japan sasy they have something similiar in english, where it'll say weird things like silent sensation or something random.

my friend got a tatoo like that. he got a sun and on the points of the suns rays he got chinese words. it looks cool but i told him just to make sure the words matched with the symbols. the tatoo shop had a dictionary with the symbols tho so it made things alot easier.

If he asked for them to write love, honor and whatever in mandarin, and didnt show them the actual mandarin symbols couldnt he take it to court?

well you can sue anyone for anything these days so he probably could.

Something like that happened a while back. There was one guy who got a tatoo saying Love and Peace and when he went to a Chinese restaurant, One of the waiters told him it truly meant "I'm f**king an idiot" :lol:

...sounds like something I would do to someone. :evillol:

Aviod tattoos in general! They are bad for you.

I read about a girl in the paper that some some lettering on a fast food menu that she liked, so got tatooed on her arm. A Chinese tourist later told her it meant something like "quick, cheap and satisfying"!

:iceslolan

:lol2:

I always wanted some chinese characters tatooed on my arm that said "A number 47 with Rice, Thanks Bruce".:)

I wanna get some Japanese stickers made to sell to the riceboys here. I will sell them as "Powered by ______" but they really will mean "stupid white boy with hairy nipples." :lol2"

I would actually like an sticker in English that says 'Stupid White Boy With Hairy Nipples". I think it would really make my car stand out...
