I confronted her about it and felt a right pratt when she told me that it's a Buddhist good luck symbol. I later researched it and found it to be true. Well just as well you were not Jewish then because that would have been a tough one to live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangot Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 The 12 year old son of Cypriot friends of mine had a T shirt with Jump 'em Pump 'em Dump 'em Across the front. They were rather embarrassed when I translated it for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That comment was just rude. I gues you feel pretty by all the “handsome man” comments you get on those bar sois, and to make your self esteem higher, you talk bad about others. Your comment says more about you than this girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly if people want to mutilate their bodies by tattoos their first tattoo should be "I am a Prat" tattooed on their forehead. Dwayne Johnson must be a prat then. He's now the highest paid actor in the world and sporting quite a number of tattoos. Not bad for a prat. People pay to see his tattoos. Some people can pull off tattoos, some can't. Some words of wisdom from a very tattooed friend... tattooed people don't complain about people without tattoos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinBoy2 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Although I speak Thai, I never seriously bothered to read that much, but I get by. I do however read mandarin, and in the States I'm always amused what people end up getting tattooed with. They think chinese characters look cool, if only they knew what they said. I currently have a neighbor, if only he knew, and I'm not going tell him, but on his forearm, not sure what he thinks it says, but when I read it, it says; "I'm an idiot" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lamyai3 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Back in their home country no one will ever be able to read these tattoos, and the people who got them are probably still unaware of the meaning. Even if they did have it explained to them, it just adds up to a funny travel story. However, this seems a highly reckless thing to do on the part of the tattooists, given the love of the authorities for prosecuting people who make the country look bad. This will extend to a random selection of those who shared the pics on Facebook too, who'll no doubt be clobbered under the computer crimes act.

Under Armour thinks so and they pay Dwayne big money to display them: You can have your cake and eat it too. If you need a break from a heavily tattooed body you can get some Vichy Dermablend tattoo cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 You'd think if you're going to get a "tramp stamp" you'd at least do some homework and get a copy of the word you want checked via google or something then print it out to show the tattooist?

rodney earl Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 It is bad enough getting any tattoo but when you get one in a language you do not understand it says a lot about your mentality. You can change a shirt easily but you have got a tattoo for the rest of your life unless you spend a lot of money to try and get it removed or get a bigger one to cover up the mistake you made in the first place.!!

Cereal Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I like tattoos and have 5. None are visible unless I'm at the beach. They're personal and every one has a special meaning to me. Including the one that says "Harmony" in Japanese. However, I took a Japanese friend with me when I got it, so I knew I what I was getting. That's important! Tattoo artists should be held legally responsible for mistakes like that. They should be forced to carry malpractice insurance like doctors.

elgenon Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I saw an about 10 yo Chinese girl at the CM airport with a "Paul Frank" outfit that said F__k Me on the backside. I tried to find one to buy but couldn't. My niece was married to a guy who owned 2 PF stores in Cali. Has since sold them to the company. The majority owners ousted Paul Frank. Thank goodness it was not as permanent as a tattoo. I wonder when the mom was finally told. It offended me that they were sold this and my feelings towards Chinese in CM are not great.
