Are you sure about that tattoo?

Pitt junior Brandon Smith wanted a tattoo that proclaimed his manliness, so he decided to get the Chinese characters for “strength” and “honor” on his chest. After 20 minutes under the needle of local tattoo artist Andy Sakai, he emerged with the symbol for “small penis” embedded in his flesh.

“I had it for months before I knew what it really meant,” Smith said. “Then I went jogging through the Carnegie Mellon campus and a group of Asian kids started laughing and calling me ‘Shorty.’ That’s when I knew something was up.”

"All these preppy sorority girls and suburban rich boys think they’re so cool ‘cause they have a tattoo with Japanese characters. But it doesn’t mean shit to them!” Sakai said. “The dumbasses don’t even realize that I’ve written ‘slut’ or ‘pervert’ on their skin!”

Symbols on the back of a Pitt student inked by Sakai were originally meant to say “princess.” They really say “prostitute.”

Kerri Baker, a Carlow College freshman, paid $50 to have the symbols for “beautiful goddess” etched above her belly button, but when she went into Szechuan Express Asian Noodle Shop sporting a bare midriff, the giggling employees explained to her that the tattoo really said, “Insert General Tso’s Chicken Here!”

“I don’t even like General Tso’s!” Baker sobbed. “I’m a vegetarian!”

It seems funny that her biggest problem is that she's a vegetarian, not that Gen Tsao is going to put his chicken there.

Sakai, an award-winning tattoo artist, was tired of seeing sacred Japanese words, symbols of his heritage, inked on random white people. So he used their blissful ignorance to make an everlasting statement. Any time acustomer came to Sakai’s home studio wanting Japanese tattooed on them, he modified it into a profane word or phrase.

If this is true, I don't think that this guy's actions are the slightest bit funny. Goodness, I hope lawyers have a field day with this guy. Chances are that he doesn't have any assets worth going after, though.

And it would not be surprising if it was true. It's a shame when people look at other races and believe that they aren't worthy...

Edited to add: "Strength," "honor," and "priness" are sacred words. Yeah. Right...

i'm often amazed at the ignorance of the sheep around...as if its difficult to google for the real characters you want so your tattoo artist doenst put

"i'm an ignorant gaigen who has no idea what this means"..


i know of at least one tattoo chain in FL that has a row of these for all the fools who come in and say "thats pretty what does it mean?" and then have it permanently etched on their skin.

Yep.....I waited 13 years to find the right tattoo. When all my friends ran down in tech school and cut the skull and banner tattoos associated with my job in the Air Force, I said...Nahhhh....I don't think I want that on my skin forever. I finally found something a couple months ago. It's ancient Celtic......it freaks preppy chicks out......I like it!

Nahhh....I was in an "upscale" bar in Cleveland (OK...as upscale as it gets...) and had a chick ask what my tattoo meant. I said "That which destroys life" .....She said something like "That's scary" with a look like I was a serial killer or something. I just laughed at her dumb ass.

ALWAYS know why you really what it and what it means to you for life. I would not draw a Warner Bros. character on my car (and I'm not keeping that) so why a cartoon or band that doesn't reflect your soul or belief of yourself?.
I waited until I was 30 before getting the Traditional flag of SCOTLAND on my shoulder (something I was born into and will always be a part of.
A friend of mine that heads a Bible study finally got a tattoo. What does it mean?= I don't know, it's TRIBAL. Which tribe? what reason/statment=I don't know. Well, it's Tahitian and it's your 1st successful HUNT (I should have told him it was of a Virgin sacrifice)

I found a few references to things similar to this on the Urban Legends page. Not the exact same wording but close enough that it makes me doubt it's authenticity. The story of the girl with prostitute on her was there almost word for word.

yeah i don't exactly believe the wording of the aritcle, it reads too much like a joke. i have 2 tattoos that were done in japanese. i know what both of them mean, and my friend has read them too. that and i've met other people with the same tattoo

one means "Live a day" the other "Courage" they are 2 things that represent my life, and especially the timeframe I got them in. I have no problem with them what so ever being in a different language, you have to look at the artistic aspect of the designs as well. see below

When I took Shotokan, we held an annual training camp. We sold two shirts. The traditional Fall camp shirt had the ISKF logo on it. The other said "Kick me in the groin, I can't read the language.", in Japanese. People loved it. Sold out first day.
