Have you ever gotten a tattoo? I have.

I got a tattoo which is an Italian phrase. I am Italian. I double-checked it was right.

Then I had my mom check.

Then I had my Nonna check.

Then I went to the tattoo shop... and they checked.

Everyone checks. It's common practice to check... and yet... there are still mistakes.

So. Many. Mistakes.

Below are posts written by Chinese and Japanese speakers who have noticed... faults? in some tattoos they've seen on non-Japanese/Chinese speakers.

These were shared on Reddit when someone asked, "People who understand Chinese/Japanese, what's the dumbest thing you've seen tattooed on someone?"

Get ready, because some of these are actually great.

1. "Evil butt"
