25+ People Who Speak Chinese and Japanese Are Sharing the Funniest Words They've Seen Tattooed on People

Illiterate Foreigner?

Okay, brace yourself for this one. Bless this guy's adventurous soul; this poor clueless guy proudly sports a tattoo that screams "illiterate foreigner" in traditional Chinese characters. Now, we have to admit - it's a bold move.

We're sure he didn't mean to ink a declaration of linguistic cluelessness, right? It's like wearing a neon sign that says, "Hey, look at me! I might not understand a word, but I'm rocking this ink like a boss!"

Clucking Great!

Who doesn't want to get a tattoo that they believe would represent their name? Almost anyone, but instead, this poor guy ended up with the characters for 'tiny chicken.' Tiny chicken?! Now, we don't know about you, but we can't help but imagine a cute little chicken strutting around, wearing a name tag that says 'My friend.'

It's like a bizarre, feathery mix-up that has left us all clucking with laughter. We guess he'll forever be associated with adorable, pint-sized poultry. Talk about a cluck-up of epic proportions!

Love Ya!

It's time to buckle up for a lost-in-translation tale that will leave you chuckling. Can you imagine carefully choosing what you believe says 'Love my grandson' in another language, only to find out it actually translates to something like 'I love fat boys.'

Now, that's quite the unexpected twist! We can only imagine the sheer confusion when unsuspecting passersbys catch a glimpse of this inked declaration of affection. Who knew a well-intentioned sentiment could take such a turn?

What a Disaster!

This metalhead dude sporting what he believed to be the epic proclamation of "Rock and Roll" in Japanese on his arm is too funny. That is especially true when you find out the tattoo had nothing to do with metal music!

Instead, it translates to "rockslide" or "landslide." Talk about a rocky road to musical glory! While he intended to rock out, he unintentionally became the poster child for geological hazards. Hey, at least he's got a unique conversation starter whenever someone asks about his tattoo.

Poison Fish

Hold your breath for this fishy tattoo tale! This poor girl proudly flaunted a Chinese character tattoo on her shoulder. Confidently insisting that it meant 'poison.' Well, sorry to burst her bubble, but that character actually means 'fish.'

Unless she's secretly an undercover sushi chef, we can't help but chuckle at the irony. Maybe she's taking the "fish is a silent killer" saying a bit too literally. Nevertheless, let's hope she doesn't end up in a fish market, expecting to unleash some deadly toxins. Now that would be a catch of the day!
