12. Maybe “tax free” IS freedom in their book

“One of my coworkers requested the character for “free” as in “freedom” which would be 自由, however because he just used translation apps, he ended up with 免 as in 免税 which means “tax free.” Its also on his hand and is always visible.”

13. Sounds like he knows what he likes…

“I was on the subway in NYC and there was a guy who clearly lifted a lot. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt and on his jacked arms in Chinese were the words “牛肉麵” or “Beef noodle soup” for everyone to see. Man looked ready to get the rest of his favorite restaurant’s menu tattooed on his body.” –nyaaaarp

14. Driving a bicycle to be self motivated.

“I used to work at a bar and a lady cane in with 自転車 on her shoulder. I speak Japanese and asked her what it meant. She replied proudly “driven to be self motivated”. That word means bicycle in Japanese.” –LordDessik

16. Yeah, kinda…

“At a bar with a friend who speaks Japanese. He saw a girl with a Japanese character tattoo. He said, “what does that mean?” She said “life”

18. Mad diarrhea, bro

“I’ve seen someone with “狂瀉” on their arms which means massive/mad diarrhea. He was going for mad waves. Not sure wtf happened there.”

19. Pig was her destiny

“Ex girlfriend got a tattoo of a Chinese symbol that she thought meant “Destiny”, or some other basic thing that she thought made her seem deep. This was on the back of her neck. About a month after getting it, a Chinese friend asked her why she had “pig” written on her neck. She thought he was screwing with her. He wasn’t.” –wtfreddit123456
