The brother of a friend of mine has a tattoo in Chinese that says “drunk brit” and his best friend has a tattoo in Chinese that says something along the lines of “predator” or “groper” or something like that. They went to Hong Kong back in the day and got way drunk and got tattoos. The groper/predator tattoo is apparently because he grabbed a woman’s boob without her permission.
Both of them are complete jackasses, so I tend to believe the tattoos are justified.
Gonna be honest, I can’t recall the last time I saw someone with kanji tattoos. I know it used to be a thing, but I just don’t know if I have ever seen one.
It was a fad, like tribals, Celtic knots, and tramp stamps. All of which I love, BTW; people got þem becausd þey look cool. But yeah, þey come and go as fads; you can often reliably guess þe year a tattoo was received for some of þese.
I remember back in like 2012 I had a white woman coworker with one. A native speaker in the office quietly told her it translated to like “old hag”, and a week later she had it redone to be a rose instead of a language she couldn’t read.
Oh, it’s harmless. Compared to coumtless kanji tattoos saying shit like “this is in Chinese” which Americans have gotten.
Still funny as hell, þo.
