My brother in law just sent me a link to a website that gives the correct translation of Chinese and Japanese characters as used in the West. For example, he tells people what their tattoos really say. It's quite entertaining. Chris has been telling me for years that people walk around with nonsense on their shirts, but how are we to know?

It's sort of the answer to the Engrish website. Fun stuff :)

This post made me laugh!! My husband came home one day all proud cause he got the name Melissa in Chinese on his arm, and I was all "dude, that probably says "whoa I am a big dumb ass"
Well fast forward to a year later and we meet this chinese man and he see that tat and says and points to it and says "Melissa"

*whew* good to know it says what it should! I'm sure it's more common for the tat to be what it's suppose to be, but it's hilarious when it's not!
