This is someone I've known on IRC for many years, but we've never met in real life. He said that there was some slight scarring and residue, but you wouldn't notice it unless you were looking for it.


Wow, that's pretty good then (stil damn hardcore too) Did he get the correct kanji done in the end? I can write 'motherfucker' in Cantonese, but that's the limit of my skills, I'm afraidbiggrin

I got kanji on my legs when I was 18, not the best idea but I was sure of what they mean.

I'd cover them up but I really don't want big tattoos on my legs. Live and learn I guess.

personally, i think it's sort of a disgusting gesture to get someone else's language tattoed on your body. especially symbolic stuff. i mean, you don't know the language, you're just getting it because it looks pretty. seems like a insulting, colonizing gesture. but that's just me.
i do however, think there are exceptions to this rule, for instance, ironic, funny gestures, but in general, it depresses me that kids all over america are running to tattoo shops, pointing to something on the wall, and saying "YES! I WANT THAT ON MY BODY FOREVER!"

What do you think of Engrish, the Japanese art of making absolutly no sense using English words. www.engrish.com

It cracks me up in the same way as it is very funny to the members of the Chinese students group at my uni that I have "girl" tattoed on my chest.

whatever

I have made sure someone I trust translates any of my tattoos, namely the back of my neck
