I think this is hilarious. It's like American idiots who get Chinese ideograms tattooed on their bodies, thinking they're some profound sentiment or symbol, while in reality they say things like "I'm stupid" or "Kung Pao Chicken."

Pretentious multiculturalism should hurt.

“Pretentious multiculturalism should hurt.”

Ain’t that the TRUTH...AND Truth hurts much of the time...

Lotsa ‘kulchers’ never got as far as the wheel...let alone rr n ritmatik..

There’s actually a YouTube channel where a couple of guys of Chinese descent translate pictures of those tattoos. Pretty funny. Their biggest gripe is that most of those tattoos are upside down.

This guy has the name of a Hong Kong politician tattooed on his arm. That's the most random tattoo I've ever seen.

Don’t know about China, but in Japan you’ll see outrageous things in English on shopping bags, t-shirts, etc. Not just poor translations but truly odd things. I have a picture of my granddaughter standing next to a guy wearing a t-shirt with the words “Go F**k Yourself”.

Or when a celebrity gets a Japanese tattoo thinking it means “7 rings” but actually translate out to “Japanese BBQ Finger”
