    Who's going to tell him he literally got "Go to cock!" tattooed in red on his forearm?

      LOL forgot about that one. That blog's been dead forever. It's still around though: http://hanzismatter.com/ People who got themselves tattooed in a language they don't understand.

      Oh wait it's not around. The owner deleted the blog. That sucks. Looks like there's still a Flickr group but it's a pale shadow of the original. https://www.flickr.com/groups/hanzismatter/

      The blog owner had such a wicked slice. How do people think getting permanent markings that they don't understand is a good idea? One lady got herself tattooed with "explosive diarrhea". Yes really.

        I know a dude who wanted 挑戦 (challenge) tattooed on his arm in Japan. Dude went to the tattoo parlor, told him he wanted the kanji for "chousen", which is how the word is pronounced. So far so good, right?

        Dude ended up proudly showing off his tattoo which said 朝鮮, which is also pronounced the same way, but means North Korea. Like, unambiguously the DPRK.

        He was not pleased when I told him. The whole thing could have been avoided if he had just shown the kanji to the artist.
