I was in line behind someone who had 安 on her nape. I'm guessing she was going for a meaning of like peaceful or restful or something along those lines but you need a compound like 安心 or 安静 for that.
The character alone means more like cheap, at least in Japanese. Maybe it's different in Chinese.

Thanks! Didn't recognize simplified character behind traditional at first
In Wales road signs are printed in both English and Welsh. When a new sign was being made someone sent the English part to a translator, who's out of office message was in Welsh. They assumed that message was the translation and printed it on the sign.

Not a translation error but the worst tattoo I ever saw on someone was a guy with a bloody tampon tramp stamp.
bloody tampon tramp stamp
"bloody" as in bloody idiot, or "bloody" as in black pudding?
I assume this is one of them dual meanings
My guy. My dude. My man.
Do you know what a tampon is / does? You might be able to infer from that alone.
Alexa, what's a tampon?
Asian beauty makes me think of an ad for makeup. Alternatively, those cool looking mountains from old looking paintings that look like giant ant mounds.
I never tattooed it on myself, or anyone else, but I used to work at a local greasy spoon, and knew a Professor of English that came in regularly, who was originally from China. I asked him for the name specific characters that phonetically made up the syllables of my and my girlfriend's names, he went to wait for his food, and came back with the characters he thought would work best. I used those to burn the characters into the weed stash box that she and I had made.
We told everyone that asked that we had no clue what it actually meant, it just sounded like our names.
But...what did it mean?
English names tend do just get characters that sound phonetically like their English pronunciation. As such, a lot of names, especially longer ones, don't mean anything. If you directly translated them, a lot of the time you'd get like "cabbage the horse wheel" or something.
So the characters are still words, right? As in not phonetics? Would it be like someone named Tristan getting the Spanish word Triste because it sounds like Tristan?
If you directly translated them, a lot of the time you’d get like “cabbage the horse wheel” or something.
That reminds me of the "Password Strength" comic by xkcd. All right, it's settled. Next time I need new password, I'm feeding random names into a phonetic name translator.
The Chinese English professor told me that my name meant something like "strong ox" and hers meant "beautiful lotus," but I have no way to verify that, as I no longer have the box. She does.
