This photo dated Jun 12, 2006 in BMEzine’s gallery by ViciousVen (aka. Jimbo according to his stats on BMEzine and MySpace) had this caption:

My Friend Joe
Secong Victim (top tattoo only)
(by ViciousVen)

First of all, I think ViciousVen really meant to say was “second victim” instead of “secong”.

Secondly, why are the orientations of these two characters 猛 and 俐 rotated?
