7. We get people signing on to the Japanese translators' mailing list
asking how to say various trendy slogans in Japanese. The response is always, "This is for a tattoo, right?"

This fad for Chinese/Japanese tattoos is the mirror image of the Japanese desire to have T-shirts and shopping bags with English written on them...whether the English makes any sense or not.

We have it coming. :)

9. I've heard of people just copying signs out of Chinatown store windows
and ending up with tattoos that say things like, "For sale cheap" or "Experienced help wanted."

27. They do. Trust me.
I have a friend who laughs at all the pro athletes tattoos. Marcus Camby has one that says "study" and one that says "highway".

11. This is why you do your research before getting a tattoo.
And for the record, I will NEVER get a Chinese/Japanese character tattoo. Tacky and stupid.

and tattooed "Satin", instead. :rofl:

14. My uncle the fundy minister did that in a congregation newsletter once
He used to send out a quarterly letter/cassette tape to his friends and family. In one newsletter he told us all to turn away from Satin.

From that day forward I only wore cotton or cotton/wool blends.

16. Well, satin _is_ very decadent. But shame on you for wearing blends. You know
we are supposed to stay away from garments made of two cloths. :rofl:

13. My Japanese partner used to love pointing out what the gangbangers' shirts and hats and tattooes
really said when we lived in NYC.

It was hilarious!

Just like I love going to Japan and reading their t-shirts that are in English and make no sense at all.

20. Oh, yeah.
I remember one in particular where the evil boss guy was ordering one of his hench-dudes to ravish...well, to put it plainly, rape...this one woman.

The overdubbed dialog went like this: "SEDUCE HER!!!"

Even though I was just a wee tad, I remember laughing at that one 'til it hurt.

That's just asking for trouble.

22. I personally would think it were hilarious
if that happened to me. I'm imagining the reactions when I'd tell them in perfect deadpan, "It says 'supermarket.'"

I have seen planty of old tatoos. My friends were once bugging me to get a tatoo. I shut them up when I told them that I would get a shar pei puppy tatooed over my breast when I turn 65. That way the older and baggier my boobs get, the better my shar pei would look. It was the only way to have a good tatoo in your old age.:spray:

Still waiting to regret it. Hasn't happened yet.

Same thing with the nose piercing. 16 years and I still like it.

Darn.

43. this is a true story on me
Years ago in Chinatown SF, I bought a black and red shirt in the Chinese style, very cute to wear with black pants. It had Chinese characters embroidered on it, and I always wondered mildly what they said.

Finally I ran into someone who could translate. This is the slogan I had been wearing:

"This is a nice dish, but tasty."
