Thinking of getting a kanji tattoo or kanji jewelry? Then arm yourself with this information before you buy anything. It may be the difference between being cool and national humiliation.
What? National humiliation? Well OK, national humiliation is an unlikely outcome, but an article in the March 1st, 2005 Washington Post Express shows that the possibility is there. "Lost in Translation" looked at the real dangers facing the unwary consumers who get kanji tattoos.
I am not joking when I say ?real dangers?. But neither am I referring to unhygenic tattooing practices. What I am talking about is toe-curlingly appalling linguistic blunders. Specifically, I mean kanji combinations like these:
- Extremely Military Affairs Stoppinng
- Crazy Diarrhea
- Weird (tattooed on one B. Spears)
Self StorageI have just inherited a whole load of furniture from my grandparents and have no idea where to put it all. A friend suggested to me that I should put the furniture in self storage until I had figured out what to do with it. She told me that self storage was the ideal solution as it meant that I could take my time over deciding whether to keep or to sell the furniture. I took her advice and contacted some
Self Storage firms in the area and managed to find a good price for storing the furniture. I was really glad that I had done this and felt it gave me some much needed thinking space about what to do with my inheritance. When I spoke to my husband about it his initial reaction was that we should sell the lot but I was against this for a number of reasons. Firstly, this was my inheritance which my grandparents hadd left and they had left it to me for a reason. Secondly, I had always loved their furniture and really wanted to use it if I could. Thirdly, I knew that the furniture is worth a lot of money and it would be worth even more if we held on to it for a few years.

Door ChimesYes, these are phrases that real people (yes, Britney Spears is a real person) actually have had tattooed into their skin.
To be honest, I am not entirely surprised at these and other errors. After all, I have seen many reversed images of kanji being offered for tattoos, and kanji jewelry that simply did not mean anything like it was supposed to.
