Besides, it's tacky. I don't agree that its racist, but it is a little disrespectful to the language, and, like I said, pretty tacky and uncool.
If I had ¥100 for every time I've seen some meathead or weaboo walking around with "kitchen" or "free (as in free of cost, not freedom)" written somewhere on them in sloppy kanji (most of the time the kanji is backward, too), I'd be a rich, rich man indeed. |
Just got back from Costco.
(Love that store, always see some Asian cutie-pies in there.)
Anyways, saw some moron with "便所" on his arm.
I wanted to go up to him and be like "Hey, what's your tattoo mean?"
But I'm too shy.
EDIT: Also, I started a thread a long time ago called "Your thoughts on Kanji tattoos."
Check it out if you'd like. Pretty interesting discussion in there.
