    Objectively, Chinese characters look cooler than latin characters, so he can just shut up and let us get water tattooed on us.

      That really depends on how the Latin characters are written. Different fonts and styles can make them just as ornate as any other characters.

        Just think of a massive initial! No way any made in china stuff can compare to that.

          Even with a massive initial, “noodle soup with ravioli” never looks very cool.

            The “n” would be half a page with a story drawn into it. The “oodle soup with ravioli” would be easy to miss.

            Honestly, it could be kind of cool.

            If you’re doing it right, the juxtaposition of “profound” graphical appearance and nonsensical/banal text content can be funny.

    ngl, I’d think that someone with the word “water” tattooed on them in a sharpie style like that is cool. It just has a vibe I like.

    Both English and Chinese speaking people have both English and Chinese tattoos. It’s fine.

    From my experience far more Chinese people were against tattoos of any kind, rather than caring about what the tattoo is.

    I know a ton of people with English words tattooed in cool fonts. That said, they rarely are nonsense like Charcoal Grill.

    No regarts, though, right?

      To be honest, Ariana Grande had it properly translated, but she missed that it was also a kind of grill in Japan. She probably should have stayed away from Japanese in this case, because there’s just no great way to phrase “7 rings” without invoking the grill. I wouldn’t do it for the aesthetics of the kanji either, 七 is the ugliest one imo.

      Edit: Actually, I think she could have fixed it quite cleanly. I’m no expert on Japanese, but counting is done a little differently than in English. 七輪 is very literally “seven rings”, but it actually has a very general sense “seven ring-shaped objects” and you’d normally qualify what object you’re talking about exactly. So if the meaning is supposed to be “seven rings (jewelry)”, you could write 七輪の指輪 “seven rings (general) of rings (jewelry)”. That’s an addition to the original tattoo that would eliminate the “grill” sense because now the grammatical function of the word is different.

      Now that im into!

      All these basic white bitches (I mean that in an ungendered way) basically covering themselves in clipart makes me sick. Whether it’s a young builder with the monster logo and a skull or some barista abomination, its all so trashy and performative

    Hers is weird because if they were writing vertically, they would keep everything vertical, not write words horizontal (line 3 and 6).

    While I’m not a fan of the concept that simply having a tattoo in non Roman characters automatically makes some Instagram bullshit deep, these people don’t, and shouldn’t, give a shit what anyone else thinks of what they do with their body.

        Huh. TBH, at this point I’d prefer “NO REGERETS”, because having it tattooed with the typo, it means you stand for what you mean.
