"Attractive Chinese Symbol"? It might be attractive, but it's not chinese (or japanese)

If you are surfing on the internet in search for a so-called "Chinese/Japanese character tattoo" you might find this piece of garbage:

This tattoo-design is promoted on many websites, but, as you can see in the images below, no one would say what this symbol could mean. Of course, one can find tons of worthless descriptions such as "Match Your Character with Chinese Symbol Tattoos Chinese Symbol Tattoos For Body Girls .... Neck-Tattoo-Chinese-Symbol-Design-Ideas Tribal Chinese Symbol Side Neck Tattoo · Attractive Chinese Symbol Side Neck Tattoo · Chinese Symbol Tattoo On Neck", but not a single concrete translation of this symbol:

The reason behind those elusive explanations is the fact that the ideogram is so poorly written that it makes it unintelligible. In conclusion, don't use this distorted ideogram as a starting point for your Kanji/Hanzi tattoo.

Don't believe this guy - he has no idea what he's talking about:)
This is NOT a Kanji / Hanzi tattoo. This is just a doodle.
What possibly could be wrong with this tattoo?

Don't waste your skin (neither your time and your money)! Don't use this Kanji-chart as a start point for a tattoo!!

Hello, everyone! In this post I want to warn you against a so-called "kanji chart" which, for the sake of the truth should be rather called "Laughably distorted Hanzi/Kanji chart". Below you can see the (in)famous chart:

At the first sight, the so-called chart and the accompanying text seem pretty credible, but don't let the appearances fool you: nearly all the ideograms presented in this image are distorted and several of them are wrongly translated.

So, if you want to get a Kanji/Hanzi tattoo, don't waste your time, don't waste your money, and, above all, don't waste your skin - and don't use this chart as inspiration for your future tattoo.

Failed tattoos

"If you can't spell, you should think twice before get a text tattooed on your body!" I think that this piece of advice should be written at the entrance of every tattoo parlor. Obviously, there are plenty of those who don't care about this simple rule.

Because of the misspelled word "mayd" the meaning of this tattoo is a bit ambiguous: it's a king of love statements or this person claims that he / she used to work for the so-called "Maid for you" company?

He's Awsome. Not awesome, only awsome. I could't find this word in the dictionary so I suppose that Awsome is his name. Now, if you meet this dude and he tries to impress you by showing off his awesome tattoo you should say something like that: "Hello, Awsome! Nice to meet you!"

... and she means it: she chose a ridiculous misspelled tattoo instead of a regular, boring one.

This dude belive in himself. Too bad you didn't believe in your teachers, mate! I bet they can spell a lot better than you

"Beliefe" in dreams; too bad he / she doesn't believe in grammar.

This is deep philosophy, indeed. How about this one: misspellings make tattoos to look really stupid

Anyway, if you think that a misspelled tattoo is the most embarrassing kind of tattoo, you're wrong. To hire a Scratcher (an amateur or unskilled tattoo artist) is a is a much better way to get an embarrassing tattoo. Just look at the next five photos and you'll totally agree witth me:

Mummy's little adorable sweetest cutest creepy baby

Is something wrong with the artist who made the tattoo? Or maybe the tattoo is a very accurate image of the little girl's evil side.

Do you remember that old game "find 10 differences between two images. Here's an improved variant: find 100 differences between the photo and the tattoo. Or - even more difficult - try to find 3 similarities between the tattoo and the photo

Well, unlike the previous images, this time I don't have a photo to compare with the tattoo, so I cannot say if the tattoo artist a really unskilled one, or - even worse - poor Wendy looks just like that.

I suppose those lovely little children are Wendy's kids. If you're wondering who's Wendy look the image above :)

A cool guy... or a bad woman?

Recently I found this image on freetattoos.net (the image's url is: http://www.freetattoos.net/designs/8890)

First, let's take a look at the picture:

Well, I don't know what this dude thinks about his tattoo and why is he so proud of it because the meaning of the tattoo (悪女; reading: akujo) is "bad woman" or "wicked woman" which, let's face it, isn't exactly an appropriate tattoo for a man. But who knows, maybe he is trying to get in touch with his feminine side :)

Now, let's see what the person who uploaded the picture thinks about it:
title="Tattoo of Chinese Letters Kanji on the Back" (the description of the image is included in the Html code to share on Myspace, Blogs and other Social Networks:)

As if it weren't bad enough that the tattoo itself is pretty weird, the description is even worse:
1. The Chinese ideograms are called Hanzi and the Japanese ideograms are called Kanji. The "Chinese Letters Kanji" is a nonsense.
2. Both the Hanzi and the Kanji are ideograms, not letters (is a big difference between the two concepts)
3. The ideograms of the tattoo are Kanji, not Hanzi, because the ideogram 悪 is not used in Chinese; in Chinese we have those ideograms instead: 惡 (in the traditional Chinese) and 恶 (in the modern / simplified Chinese)
