This site is now dead, but it used to be one of my favorites. It's someone who would translate the Asian-language tattoos people would send in. A lot of them were not even using real symbols or letters, but a lot of others were hilarious.

This is one of their last posts and, to be fair to them, it's pretty hard to continue a blog like that once your irony meter has exploded.

Yeah, a lot of them are in the gibberish font, but there are some entries where they're like "that's not even the gibberish font, I have no idea what the hell that is, what is going on here?!"

That one is probably temporary, at least. During the first few weeks, tattoo ink can be rubbed away every time you wash your hands. You also have a lot of nerves on that side of your hand and the needle hurts like hell. So you go through a lot of pain for something that gets washed away.

It's probably plain ink.

I have a wedding ring tattoo, and the guy who did it strongly discouraged me from going 100% of the way around. Pain kicked up quite a bit when it hit the fleshy part in between fingers.

Wait, so did you go 100% around anyway?

Nah, just down the sides.
