There has been a fad for about the last five years where people get Asian characters tattooed on various body parts, thinking the message has to do with bringing good fortune or some such thing, but do they really know what the characters mean ? What if the tatto artist is playing an evil joke, and the characters really translate to something like "I am a stinky, hairy Caucasian". Just an unsettling thought...
