- RoroCo, on 07/06/2009, -5/+127No mention of Chinese character tattoos? I think those are right up there with tribal arm bands in terms of popularity and douchiness (unless you are actually Chinese of course).
- mrpunman, on 07/07/2009, -1/+118I know 56 stars on the face means you're an idiot
- Kombaiyashii, on 07/06/2009, -5/+62I'm 26 right now and I've seen most of my friends go through tattoo phases and everyday I don't get a tattoo I become that much happier that I didn't.
They all seem to regret them now and the only good they really do is break the ice amongst strangers where they commiserate each other on having had them (sorry to all you tattood diggers, feel free to leave abuse below). - Slackdragon, on 07/06/2009, -4/+55If you're getting a tattoo because it's the thing to do, or because of some stupid sense of peer pressure, you're already firmly treading the path of regret.
If you're doing it to be unique and as a mode of self expression, remember that there are thousands of other people with unique tattoos... just like you.
Yes, I have ink. No, I don't regret it. It was something that has true, personal meaning to me. I'm not saying you shouldn't get a tattoo, but make sure it isn't something you do on whim or because someone else thinks you should. It's your skin, not theirs. - SamSks, on 07/06/2009, -5/+54A few years from now in the the Wall Street Journal:
"Tattoo removal the highest paying medical speciality." - deadasdisco, on 07/07/2009, -3/+50absolute worst tattoo: ON THE BOOB.
- DaryLintheDark, on 07/07/2009, -3/+46they missed one:
Butterfly on the ankle.
what you think it says about you: i might seem like a nice straight laced girl, maybe a bit naive, but when the lights go out i'm totally wild!! you don't believe me? well i got this tattoo didn't I? and it's totally original isn't it?
what it really says about you: you ARE a completely straight laced girl, and if binge drinking and puking a couple weekeds didn't convince your friends that you're badass, getting this completely unoriginal, lame, and contrived tattoo isn't going to work either, who are you trying to kid? (also says: i'm a middle aged mom who wasted her best years cause i got knocked up by a douche, and i'm going to make up for lost time with this awesome tattoo!!)
Statement heard from this girl: "After studying for 6 hours for my christian ethics final, i'm gonna go let off some steam at karaoke night at the bar with my girls... but i can't drink too much, i've got church tomorrow, WOOP WOOP!!" - jiesa, on 07/07/2009, -1/+38If it's a Chinese character on a Chinese person, then isn't that basically the same as either a stupid poem on the arm or someone's name tattooed in cursive on the neck? So doesn't that still qualify it as a douchey tattoo?
... I mean really. - Banda7, on 07/07/2009, -0/+33Wasnt a similar story just on Cracked.com?
- MWeather, on 07/07/2009, -1/+31A friend of mine got "***** what you think!" tattooed on the back of his head. Oddly enough he doesn't seem to care what other people think of it.
- zigardne, on 07/07/2009, -0/+29its like graffiti on the Mona Lisa.
- inactive, on 07/06/2009, -5/+32Never regretted any of mine, life is to short to sweat the simple stuff like you people do....
- retrospects, on 07/07/2009, -5/+27i love how diggers will jump on the tattoo banwaggon....... who cares if you will end up regret your tattoos at some point. people that get tattoos just to do it are the one timers anyway and are Dbags. the fact is that you have your skin for what... maybe 80 years. i want to have fun, be healthy and not worry about other people that are to upset with their own lives that they have to try to make everyone else feel like ***** too.. people are supprise that me and my wife have tattoos. maybe we are the exception... we dont do it for other people we do it because we love tattoos. why do people do anything.. its because they want to even if they just wanted too for a split second they wanted too. everyone needs to stop BITCHING. but wait, this is digg right. Nevermind.
- JoeHague, on 07/07/2009, -0/+20What do YOU mean you people?
- deadasdisco, on 07/07/2009, -1/+21haha you just said "it's your choice" and "don't get tattoos".
- Soniti, on 07/07/2009, -0/+20Wow, I am laughing my ass of here, because...
Oh my God it's so true.
My ex was exactly as you just described, except she had "jesus" tattooed on her foot. And she majored in Christian Evangelical Communications.
I can't make this stuff up. - Grinty, on 07/07/2009, -4/+23I get my tattoos for me, not you.
- benroy, on 07/07/2009, -0/+18My favorite are the super ghetto girls with a column of guys names on their arm and all of them are crossed out except the last one.
What You Think It Says: I'm a slut.
What It Really Says: I'm a slut.
Statement Heard From This Person: You should come back to my place before my kids wake up. Oh yeah, and I'm a slut. - inactive, on 07/07/2009, -2/+19Tramp stamp means you're a common slut.
- psolms, on 07/07/2009, -0/+16your mom's a slut.
- Soniti, on 07/07/2009, -1/+17There's a reason she's now my ex. There are 80 yr. old couples that ***** more often that we did, and with much less guilt tripping. Then again, she never complained when I ate her out.
Selfish whore. - Pasaris, on 07/06/2009, -21/+36All tattoos will be regretted at some point. Just don't do it.
- diulei, on 07/07/2009, -0/+14I've thought about this too... no doubt plenty of people who sport Chinese symbols as tattoos are idiots/douchebags, but to them it's for what it represents. Similar to any other "symbol" be it a fictional language, or hieroglyphics. With that said, however, you'd think most people would take the time to make sure what they are permanently inking themselves with makes sense. This is considering about 1.5 billion Chinese, Japanese, and to some extent Korean and Vietnamese people can read what your dumbass tattooed because you literally translated something.
- thejackyl, on 07/07/2009, -0/+14Sounds like a nice guy
- edwadokun, on 07/07/2009, -0/+13thats a pretty over reaching assumption.
- DaryLintheDark, on 07/07/2009, -1/+14exactly... she WAS hot
- Mass1ve, on 07/07/2009, -2/+15Poorly written... Dug down for rushed article. Surely someone ells agrees...
- inactive, on 07/07/2009, -0/+13your mom was a slut long before she was 38. the tattoo was just signing the papers.
- bizchris, on 07/07/2009, -1/+13What do you mean, 'you people'?
- redxii, on 07/07/2009, -0/+12What You Think It Says:
Regardless if you know the language or not, you think you're a bad ass because you have one character that you think describes you or your lifestyle.
What It Really Says:
Purple monkey dishwasher. - inactive, on 07/07/2009, -6/+17dugg for "aim your cumshot here." i lol'd.
- smacksaw, on 07/07/2009, -0/+10Just because everyone can get a tattoo doesn't mean they should. For every 100 tattoos I see, I'd say only a handful of them are ones that I admire while I am snickering inside at the rest. There's no middle ground with tattoos. Either your tattoo is totally awesome or it just amplifies your douchebaggery.
- smacksaw, on 07/07/2009, -0/+10I'd just lay out a Hustler over her chest so I didn't have to look it.
- NYConcepts, on 07/07/2009, -3/+13Tattoo's are so un-taboo. Seeing people get tats of ***** mario and master chief sealed the deal of uncoolness for me.
- wedges, on 07/07/2009, -0/+10exactly. people look at my sleeve and say "what is that going to look like when you're 80?" a) i will be ***** gross from head to toe when I'm 80. b) if you live every day for when you're 80, when do you actually live?
- Thumper13, on 07/07/2009, -0/+9I am 36...just got my first tattoo on my forearm, I have a job and everything.
Works for some, doesn't for others.
A job is a job, not something to scare you out of living the other parts of your life. - MWeather, on 07/07/2009, -0/+9He is. Can't wait till he gets outof jail next week.
- Th3_anOmoLy, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8The only tattoo I have is the badge of the military unit I spent a year in Iraq (seven years total) with. Even though the smaller text has been rendered damn near illegible due to the fact that I've gained 35lbs since I got out of the military, I still don't regret getting it. I have a hard time believing I ever will.
- Dinner, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8Ragging on and displaying galleries of dumb tattoos seems to be the internet's favourite pastime these days. I daresay I'm actually not that amused by seeing dumb tattoos anymore.
- hpodity, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8They also didn't mention large writing across the shoulders that is indecipherable due to it being written in incredibly stylized Old English font
- benroy, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8dude...what kind of response did you expect?
- everlast88, on 07/07/2009, -0/+8my mom got one when she was 38, what does that say about her?
- sh1tman, on 07/07/2009, -1/+9My ex always wanted a tattoo of her aunt's name on her back because she meant so much to her. The last thing I wanted to think about while ***** her ***** from behind was her 400lbs+ aunt. No joke....400lbs at least. ***** sick.
- DeskFlyer, on 07/07/2009, -8/+15I think I'm the only person I know who doesn't have a tattoo. And I know THREE WHOLE PEOPLES
- jsffive, on 07/07/2009, -3/+10Do I have to even read this article to know what it says?
Gimme a ***** break.
Holytaco spends all their time criticizing everything under the sun. Tell me, have they found anything yet that isn't lame? - mantis108, on 07/07/2009, -5/+12I generally agree with it being stupid for people getting Chinese characters of random things just because they think it 'looks cool' (Chinese people don't think their characters look cool, they just use them to form words and communicate meaning), but I do think there can be exceptions. For example, my martial arts (Chinese kung fu) teacher, myself and another student had the chinese characters (hand drawn calligraphy characters done by a grandmaster in our system, not just stock characters.. i.e. actual 'art') representing our style done on our backs (vertically down the spine) because A) the characters themselves represent the *Chinese* martial arts style we study and were actually hand drawn in calligraphic style by a grandmaster of our style; B) the douchie/showoff factor would be low as most people would never see them being on our backs; and C) having the same art is reflective of the brotherhood of the school. We took a lot of time to preserve and duplicate the artwork of the characters into tattoo form, and the result was tasteful and personal rather than being 'stock'.
I don't feel douchie at all about my tattoo; I enjoy it, am discreet about it, don't care if anyone ever sees it, and am very glad I chose to have had it done in Hanzi.
All that said, this site has some hilarious examples of Chinese character tattoos gone horribly, horribly wrong :)

- JustLoren, on 07/07/2009, -0/+6fagrage much?
...he was just making a joke. - AndySavage, on 07/07/2009, -0/+6Regretting that barb-wire arm band tattoo, aren't you?
No seriously though, agreed.. Cracked.com at least ventures into interesting issues (doing so very informatively and well-sourced in fact) rather than just "let's spend all of our creative writing talent finding different ways to say what sucks." - Paulish, on 07/07/2009, -1/+7You are so empathetic...
