Not exactly but I do have somewhere a state of Florida plaque which contains the state seal. On it is the phrase "In GOOD We Trust"

I remember seeing a tattoo some time ago with a spelling mistake. I once heard of a person who had a tattoo with Chinese characters that had an obscene meaning unknown to the wearer.... Must feel like a life sentence as soon as you find out.
Apparently commoner than I thought:

My son was telling me about the Chinese tattoos. Apparently people here in the US like to get Chinese characters at shops in Chinatown and commonly are tattooed with derogatory words

The Chinese have a sense of humour as in the joke is on the Gweilo.

Caveat emptor should apply exponentially for something that permanent.

There are many Martial Artists walking around with Kanji Tattoos that say things like "Stupid White Boy Thinks He's Bruce Lee" Originally Posted by PaulFLUS

It looks to me like a legit misspelling.

My Chinese is reasonable. I lived in China for 11 years, and currently work as a Chinese - English translator. I have heard this story many, many, many times and have yet to see an example. Originally Posted by PaulFLUS
