Like Ariana Grande has shown, nobody is safe when it comes to inking yourself with foreign languages. Not even high-profile celebrities. Using Japanese Kanji symbols, the performer intended for the design to read “7 Rings” but it ended up saying “small charcoal grill” or “BBQ”.
Turns out, these mistakes are relatively common. Whether it’s because the client can’t be bothered with actual research or a slip of the tattoo artist’s hand, there are pictures of people “wearing” designs in honor of toilet demons and sexual fantasies. And Bored Panda has collected the funniest ones. So scroll down, enjoy the images, and upvote your faves.
