Asian Font Gibberish 2


http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A60225/high/bmepb232672.jpg

In November of 2005, I posted about a racist in Finland tattooed himself with “SANO EI LAKUPEKOILLE”, which is the English equivalent of “say no to niggers”. Instead of just using plain Finnish, the racist idiot got it done in “Asian font” and resulted in complete gibberish.

Today this untitled photo was posted in BMEzine.com’s Kanji tattoo gallery. The similarities in both tattoos have led me to believe there are more idiots out there sharing “Asian font”.

"Half Angel Hell"


http://www.artofink.ch/galerie.html

Reader Henning sent this photo to me.

I could only positively identify two of them, 仙 (fairy, immortal) and 地 (earth, ground), out of the five characters.

If the tattoo was supposed to be 半天仙地府, it could be loosely translated as “half angel hell”.

Perhaps the tattoo’s owner is a Constantine fan.

Mirrored Freedom

Elena has emailed me these two photos being displayed in a tattoo parlor in Spain. Obviously no one at the shop has realized the photos are shown mirrored.

Let’s hope these are just photograph errors and the actual tattoos were done correctly.
