Why you should NEVER get a Tattoo !!!

[The Hunter of Jahanna]

I found this article and think everyone should read it before they go get a tattoo.It deals with "kanji" or oriental word symbols. I have seen them on lots of people and always wondered how they knew what the symbol meant. I guess its obvious that they dont.

Tattooist has last laugh June 7 2002 A British teenager who thought he had "Love, Honour and Obey" tattooed on his upper arm in Mandarin received an unpleasant surprise when a waitress in a Chinese restaurant started laughing at him, London's Metro newspaper reported today. Hairdresser Lee Becks, 18, paid STG90 ($A230) for the tattoo on his right upper arm and was thoroughly pleased with the result - until he found out it actually read: "At the end of the day, this is an ugly boy." He realised something was wrong when the waitress started giggling and saying he was obviously trying to make people laugh. Becks pressed her to explain and discovered the ugly truth. A return visit to the tattoo parlour in Southend proved fruitless, as it had closed down. "I suspect the tattooist knew he was closing and just wanted to get his own back for some reason," Becks told Metro, a freesheet distributed on the London transport network. Becks keeps the tattoo covered, but at a recent night out he showed it off to friends. A group of Chinese girls came over and burst out laughing. He now plans to spend STG600 ($A1,535) to have the tattoo removed. DPA

NOTE: I am NOT against getting tattooed as I have 17 of them myself.I just didnt want anyone to get the wrong impression.
