This is why you don't ink yourself with a language that you don't understand just because it looks pretty.

That is classic and poetic at the same time.
I've seen this in a lot of places. I'd be willing to say it's most likely an urban legend, though I wouldn't mind if it was true.
I hate those kids who rock asian symbols and tribal tattoos with little to no meaning to them. Just get a fucking skull already.
If I were going to get words written on me, I'd probably just get them in English or Latin. Either way, I'd research the word(s) and make sure I knew what they were supposed to look like.

Oh and yes it has and will happen. I've known of people going into tattoo parlors to look for a tattoo, point at a Japanese symbol and say, "I want that" and the guy will ask, "Do you know what it means?" and they'll say, "Who cares, it looks awesome". Alright moron, have at it.
This is a permanant thing. Before you go, most intelligent people know what to get (unless you're drunk and at the mercy of your friends and Jack Daniels, then that's another ball of wax) so if you want something that you don't know what it stands for, you're just begging for humiliation.
This is mine =D... its done now.. of course. hehe

Here's mine. The goomba's right above my left heel, and the cat is on top of my right bicep. The pirate flag is above my left elbow.
I'm planning on doing half-sleeves on both arms. For the right arm, I'm going to roll on the black cat fireworks thing, and do a montage of firework explosions, rockets, etc. Haven't decided on the project of the left arm yet.

ROFL.
That's hilarious. I have a friend who had a shirt with Japanese characters on it (in trendy fashion) that said "I'm a dumb American." Repeat what CrystalTears said. FUN-NY.
-K
I feel lucky that I speak Japanese and a little itty bit of Mandarin... If I were to get a tattoo in Japanese, I'd at least know what it meant. And if the tattoo artist screwed me, I'd know it right away.
As it is, I don't want words. I want something of my own design. I just... haven't come up with it yet...
Oh man, thats messed up. But, in an odd way, just.
Since we're showing tats...
Mine is from Anil Gupta in NYC. Check out his work. Its amazing. http://www.anilgupta.com
It ain't cheap either. Had to make two appointments, weeks in advance... one to consult (He did this while tattooing someone else) and one for the work.
Oh yeah, got one on the other ankle also.

Wow. I was looking at Anil's page, and if I'm going to get a tattoo (and I want to get one in a few months when I turn 18), I want it to be from him! I had been looking around for someone whose work I was impressed with, and MAN... if you look at some of the stuff on that site... it's incredible!
Plus, he tattooed Jenna Jameson. :D

His work is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. He's a god among tattoo artists in America. When I get enough money for a custom tattoo, it's definitely going to him, even though I'd have to fly to NYC to do it.
Wow. That guy's work is amazing. Brilliant.

Kanji tatoos... where to begin!
Some broad I met told me her tatoo meant "self-love". Too bad if you put those too characters together, it means masturbation.
Another meat head I met had "Subway" as his tatoo.
What a lunchbox!
This one yatch had "strong root", thinking that root meant family roots. It's related to vegetable roots though, and also has another meaning for pimple head. While the two symbols together did not form a word, one meaning could be that her tatoo meant bad zit....
If I had a dollar for every idiot in college that asked me to come up with something cool for their tatoo... I could retire.
The one time we had an around the world party at my frat, in marker, I wrote "Wide pussy" across this girl's stomach.
There are already enough bad tatoos without that guy around.
edited because I have poor punctuation skills.

Blargh. I'm going learn a little more Russian and then write something dirty all across the next Asian I see drunk in revenge.

I love the Goomba tat!
It's a chick magnet.

I think the real chick magnet is that dancing banana. I'm irresistably attracted to it. If it were on your body, I don't know what I'd do.
If I could get an animated tattoo, it'd be there in an instant.

WOW!! Anil's work is incredible! I have seen some good tattoo artists but never anyone that came close to that!
I already decided that one tattoo was enough for me but now I'm not sure... If I do get a second one, I want it from him.

I want 'Don't even think it' on my ass. For when I die...just in case I get one of those morticians.

I want a little rose or fairy on my waist. Like small and cute and easily covered.

I don't think I'd ever get a tattoo. But if I did, I'd want a simple infinity knot on the side of my ankle.
Heard a story about this guy who would break the ice with women by walking up to them and saying, "Hi, I bet you I have your name tattooed on my ass."
Of course, he had "Your Name" tattooed on his ass.
Could be urban legend, but then, I've heard of stranger things.
I prefer http://www.vyvyn.com/

Heh funny how the world works. Just got this done yesterday
You showed us that just to show off your chest!

My brother-in-law did this, on his arm though. I'll ask him if he's ever tried that line out...
Steve-O from Jackass has 'Your Name' tattooed on his ass as well.
I'm gonna get my entire chest tattood this weekend

You don't have to be drunk... you have to be DEAD SEXY. And he IS. So it's all covered.

Not drunk at all :) Actually been waiting for a while to get it.
It does have personal meaning to me, and besides I'm not exactly concerned about anyone questioning my masculinity or anything of the sort.
ps. Thanks for the compliments.
Suprise I got my lip tattood.

Tattoos are cool. I only have one for now but I'd like to get another one eventually. A small dreamcatcher on the small of my back. I just haven't found the right design to do it yet.

What possessed you to get the inside of your lip tattooed...?
Why not? its not like people will see it unless I want them too, plus the ink doesnt hold very well there so it will probably fade in like 9 months unless I get it touched up
