NOT quite so awesome.

Human bodies don't come with spell check?

[COBOL2Java]

Maybe she's a diabetic!

[knarf]

Lots’a blackheads, though

[mlizzy]

Sweet pee is actually pretty funny (and could be taken as intentional), but don’t tattoo artists have dictionaries? Doesn’t this end up making them look a little foolish too?

[dfwgator]

[Cowboy Bob]

Maybe it’s true?

[Tupelo]

My Grandson has some Chinese characters tattooed on his arm. h=He tells me that they translate into some high meaning phrase. I think they translate to something like, “Tattoos for Idiot Round Eyes”

[cripplecreek]

Maybe she’s diabetic.

[bicyclerepair]

And they can vote.

[dfwgator]

And they can vote.

And they serve on city councils.

[GeronL]

crazy people rule the country now

[GeronL]

have you tried Google translator?

[Revolting cat!]

What’s the problem, these people are subliterate anyway!

[goldi]

Maybe they’re selections from a Chinese menu.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Google translator is pretty good but does make some huge errors because of the above stated fact that the translators usually do literal translation instead of the actual meaning in the foreign language.

For example, the Google Chinese translator makes no distinction between ‘silly’ and ‘stupid’. The two words are obviously not the same thought.

Another one is ‘reach’ and ‘achieve’.

[GeronL]

true and some things just mean different things.

In Korean to say “Are you thirsty?” you would have to actually ask “Is your neck dry?”

How would it translate that kind of thing correctly?

[Veggie Todd]

You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD. Leviticus 19:28

[KosmicKitty]

I believe they mean “Stupid White Boy” or “Stupid White Slut”, depending upon the gender of the recipient

[bgill]

Big Bang’s Sheldon told Penny the Chinese characters tattoed on her butt was “soup” rather than “courage.”
