Tattoos in a Foreign Language.
Next time before you wanted to scar your body permanently with foreign words, do your research before hand! The tattooist is not your foreign language professor. What you wanted is not what it comes out! It is more expensive to remove it than getting one.
I see lots of idiots in the gym proudly showing off their marks! They ask me what do they mean, I usually smile as said, "You want the truth or a lie?"

Sorry, Jeff, for my bluntness. I'm not a native speaker, so I am not sure if I am right, but I just think there are some mistakes.
Tattoos in a Foreign Language.
Next time before you wanted to scar your body permanently with foreign words, you should (It'd better to be polite.) do your research beforehand (Beforehand is one word.)! A tattooist is not a foreign language professor. What you wanted is not always (avoid overgeneralization) what it comes out! It is more expensive to remove it than getting one.
I see lots of idiots in the gym proudly showing off their marks! If they ask me what do they mean, (It's a comma, not a full stop.) I usually smile and say, "You want the truth or a lie?"

Great Emperor's Slave Tailor!
Harlot, Strumpet, Tart, Bitch, Whore, you pick!
"Celebrate The Knowledge Of A Dangerous, Crazy Father
This is something we all need to celebrate" (not my translation)
According to the original caption, this suppose to mean loyalty but the result are noodles!
"Contract" but in Cantonese slang, it means "homosexual"
This means "foreigner/outsider"
"This is a tatoo!" What an idiot. Everyone can see what a tatoo is
I don't eat meat but I bite! 88 is double rich because the sound of 8 sounds like 發 which is slang for getting rich (sprout, expand as other meanings)

Mike Tyson is not exactly a role model. A picture is definitely worth more than a 1000 words. It never says whether the words are good or not; For all I know, the words are crap.
Tattoos are just attention getter and trying to make a flashy statement of yourself in an instant. I rather make my statement through hard work and example, just like here in italki.

These people are clueless. They are not even funny, just make me *cringe*!
I have once seen a young Asian girl in the U.S. (not sure if she understood Chinese) with a big tattoo of "愛"on her back. I found that a bit too tacky. It was as if she was screaming "I have no idea what this actually looks like, but I'm stupid enough to ink this on my back permanently. "

It just occurred to me that Mike Tyson has 6 tattoos at last count, It's easy for us to know his preference: pictures are better than words. He chose 6 pictures instead of 6000 words, which proves very well that Tyson has both style and substance. It is said that only well educated people know that one picture is worth a thousand words.:)
