Hey. My friend got a Chinese tattoo while partying in Greece. Needless to say he regrets it. Does anyone know what it means? Thanks!

瘨 diān 'crazy, mad, ill'. Either the tattoo is mirrored or the photo is. I hope it's the photo.

Haha thanks. The photo is not mirrored only tilted. This is hilarious

All he has to do is display it using a mirror all the time.

There should be some rules, regulations, laws or something to stop you being able to have a tattoo unless you pass a breathalyser. How many life long mistakes could have been avoided :) ?

Less then the business opportunities that would be missed with such a rule :)

And the world would have less tattoos and would that be missed? Maybe the tattoo artist would put their skills to other forms of art and beatifying the world.

A serious tattoo artist would never tattoo you when you are drunk... Starts with safety issues as alcohol thins your blood and you bleed more while getting the tattoo.

Oh didn't think of that, another sensible reason not to ink when you can't think :)

That's a very subjective.... I would never take a tattoo (although I never should say never) I can certainly enjoy a beautiful tattoo. Sure, a lot of tattoo's are crap, but then this is true for many art forms. There is some very good artwork, but there's plenty of mediocre and crap artwork too.

I hope it's not the photo. Tattooing 'crazy, mad, ill' on oneself sounds silly, but if it's reversed you could say it's on purpose ;)

What's the reverse / opposite of crazy? Or is it that the bearer is not crazy, but the onlooker is?

Maybe the OP's "friend" was actually making a statement...

I suspect the statement was something like 'Look dude, haha, I totally got a tattoo! It's like, Japaneeeese... or something...' [pukes in corner]
