Objectively, Chinese characters look cooler than latin characters, so he can just shut up and let us get water tattooed on us.

[โ€“] EleventhHour@lemmy.world 31 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That really depends on how the Latin characters are written. Different fonts and styles can make them just as ornate as any other characters.

[โ€“] Eheran@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just think of a massive initial! No way any made in china stuff can compare to that.

[โ€“] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Even with a massive initial, "noodle soup with ravioli" never looks very cool.

[โ€“] Eheran@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

The "n" would be half a page with a story drawn into it. The "oodle soup with ravioli" would be easy to miss.

[โ€“] leisesprecher@feddit.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

Honestly, it could be kind of cool.

If you're doing it right, the juxtaposition of "profound" graphical appearance and nonsensical/banal text content can be funny.

[โ€“] GladiusB@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

It's not their fucking skin. Let people do what they want with their body.

[โ€“] Badabinski@kbin.earth 29 points 2 weeks ago

ngl, I'd think that someone with the word "water" tattooed on them in a sharpie style like that is cool. It just has a vibe I like.

[โ€“] Hegar@fedia.io 17 points 2 weeks ago

Both English and Chinese speaking people have both English and Chinese tattoos. It's fine.

From my experience far more Chinese people were against tattoos of any kind, rather than caring about what the tattoo is.

[โ€“] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Water's based

So is jury nullification.

[โ€“] taiyang@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I know a ton of people with English words tattooed in cool fonts. That said, they rarely are nonsense like Charcoal Grill.

No regarts, though, right?

To be honest, Ariana Grande had it properly translated, but she missed that it was also a kind of grill in Japan. She probably should have stayed away from Japanese in this case, because there's just no great way to phrase "7 rings" without invoking the grill. I wouldn't do it for the aesthetics of the kanji either, ไธƒ is the ugliest one imo.

Edit: Actually, I think she could have fixed it quite cleanly. I'm no expert on Japanese, but counting is done a little differently than in English. ไธƒ่ผช is very literally "seven rings", but it actually has a very general sense "seven ring-shaped objects" and you'd normally qualify what object you're talking about exactly. So if the meaning is supposed to be "seven rings (jewelry)", you could write ไธƒ่ผชใฎๆŒ‡่ผช "seven rings (general) of rings (jewelry)". That's an addition to the original tattoo that would eliminate the "grill" sense because now the grammatical function of the word is different.

Do his other limbs say fire, earth, air?

Now that im into!

All these basic white bitches (I mean that in an ungendered way) basically covering themselves in clipart makes me sick. Whether it's a young builder with the monster logo and a skull or some barista abomination, its all so trashy and performative

[โ€“] SuperCub@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Hers is weird because if they were writing vertically, they would keep everything vertical, not write words horizontal (line 3 and 6).

[โ€“] thistleboy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

While I'm not a fan of the concept that simply having a tattoo in non Roman characters automatically makes some Instagram bullshit deep, these people don't, and shouldn't, give a shit what anyone else thinks of what they do with their body.

[โ€“] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

What does her back say though?

[โ€“] nialv7@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

from top down: independent, merciless/ruthless, curious, cunning

Huh. TBH, at this point Iโ€™d prefer "NO REGERETS", because having it tattooed with the typo, it means you stand for what you mean.

[โ€“] nexguy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sweet, what does mine say?

Dude, what does mine say?

[โ€“] Coreidan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

This is how I feel about all tattoos
