Title: Be careful when getting chinese tattoos.
Post by: loulou on February 10, 2008, 05:04:51 pm
When teenager Joanne Raine had her boyfriend's nickname "Roo" tattooed on her stomach it was supposed to be a sign of her undying love.

The 19-year-old from Darlington paid 80 for the Chinese artwork in 2004 and was delighted with the results.

That was until she showed it off in a Chinese takeaway and found out it actually spelled "supermarket."

The pair have now split up, but Miss Raine said she will keep the tattoo because she cannot afford a new one.

She said: "I did it because I wanted to show him how much I loved him and he had one done as well.

"I did not think about whether it meant forever. I'm just going to have to keep it as I can't afford to get another one done."

They are devious buggers, them Chinese.
 

A take away shop in my area once had a sign up warning staff about smoking after an EHO had warned them about no smoking being allowed in the kitchen.

We eventually discovered the sign (in Chinese) said "Don't smoke when the inspector is in"!
