This has to be the funniest thing I've read all week! Here's the whole story. http://www.angelfire.com/pa3/toplesscarwashdoc/tattooartist.html Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
...uh.. the picture of the woman.. It's claiming that means prostitute? That's Japanese katakana. They use it to write imported words, not Japanese words. It reads : "aerotebu" (ah-eh-roh-tae-bu) if you wrote it in romaji, or English leters. Prostitute in Japanese is "baishunfu". It would be written in hiragana, or kanji. So... I'm somewhat skeptical of that news article.... also it is on an Angelfire site... so yeah I'd have to say that article is BS. ~Fatal
Totally fake article. That site doesn't even run ANY real articles - it's a site dedicated to fake news.
Tattoo artists do this all the time. Not necessarily with Asian characters, but with any symbols they appropriate. It's especially fun if they're Crowleyian...
