Everyone, please remember (write it on your arm if you have to): Don’t get tattooed in a language you yourself cannot read.

Otherwise you risk suffering this poor girl’s fate:

Something similar happened to poor Nikki, who asked that she have her name rendered in Chinese characters, only to find out later that what her tattoo actually said was “Way dagger, empty, empty, dagger.” Or Lee, who thought his Mandarin tattoo said “Love, honor and obey,” but it actually said “At the end of the day, this is an ugly boy.”
