I have a Chinese tattoo goes bad story here~~~ There's this guy who wants to tattoo "terrorist" in Chinese on his shin (the reason to tattoo that is totally beyond me...) But he went to do it anyway. And the next day he came back, and showed it to me, and it's a single Chinese character "素", meaning simple, plain, white color, or basic element, it can also mean vegetable. I told him Chinese for terrorist is actually 4 words (恐怖份子), it's a foreign concept, so we don't have single word for that, and we have to make up phrases. But he assured me that before he got it done, the tattoo artist had shown him online on some Chinese/English dictionary. So this tough, big guy, looks really intimidating type... has the word "vegetable" tattooed on his shin, and the tattoo is actually about the size of my palm. Be very careful~~~ (edited for typo)
