Lost In Translation























Funny article in the New York Times about a website that reveals how Chinese tattooos are not, shall we say, exactly accurate. For example, Britney Spears has a tattoo that she thought meant "mysterious" and it turnbs out it means "odd" or "strange". Great site run by Tian Tang that's definitely worth checking out!

That's pretty funny stuff. I often wondered if the Chinese characters people had tattoo'd were accurate & if they looked up the meanings prior to getting them, or just trusted the artist. I'm not that trustworthy.
