To compare this person’s work with crayon doodling done by retarded children at local Applebee's restaurants would be an insult to the mentally challenged.


"Daisy"

Few days ago I received an email from an U. S. Navy recruiter in Jacksonville, Florida, asking me to translate this tattoo of a new recruit for him.

The new recruit claimed that his tattoo means “Daisy” in Chinese.



I tried my best to decipher it, and then I realized the “characters” are just English alphabets that made to mimic the “Chinese-look”. Here are some similar fonts.

Apparently Mr. “Daisy” is not the only person that got fooled by this font type, here are two more:

Anti-Blood Clot Medication Kimono for Sale in Ebay

If you are interested in purchasing some authentic Japanese kimono replica, why not just check out eBay’s bargain selection?

Especially item number 270025981666, “Boutique Clovergirls BDB Costume Geisha Kimono Japanese”. (thanks to "Furisode Fan" for the tip)

* I have removed the photo that was originally posted here after “jetsoncity@gmail.com” (who is not the seller of the kimono, not the legal guardian of the girl shown in the photos, nor owner of the actual photos) decided to do a little “cybercensoring” of her own.

Luckily, the actual photos are located at vintageduck.com as well as eBay.com, and it is not copyrights infringement by directly linking to there.

(more photos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)



* I have decided to repost the image from eBay after contacting Electronic Frontier Foundation (www.eff.org) about my blogger's rights. I am free to post the photo since I am only using the image to illustrate my point, the image size has been reduced from its original, and it was posted on eBay, thus it does not hold the same copyrights as commerical photos.

Look, they even have some Japanese characters accompanying all the photos.

means “anti-blood clot medication”.

The clever seller has simply lifted some Japanese characters from medicine bottles and pasted them over the photo to give them the “authentic” feel.


Ps. Dear jetsoncity@gmail.com,

Since you like to censor other people's websites so much, why not write to this website and defend Lindsay Lohan's flashing vagina?
Oh my, how embarrassing.

And Jzcustoms,

Sweetheart, before you splash together another photo of your latest creation, how about do a little research?


Music is Life


http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A60912/high/bmepb353388.jpg

means “music is life” in Chinese.

If so, having the phrase partially tattooed, would that be the equivalent to “tone-deaf” of life?


Tutor

This photo titled “gabriel” is posted in Flickr by user “PunkyPlastik”.

The top character means “tutor” or “teacher”, however it is done incorrectly and missing a small horizontal stroke.


Pothead

Tuur has sent in this photo of a fellow concert attendee from Leuven, Belgium several weeks ago.
