r u evil? or a demon?

either way, kanjis bit off.

Also my ex gf got Demon on her back.. i dunno why, but the meaning of the kanji has Changed to Charmed... not demon.

In japan, some kanjis can change.

i've seen cases where peoples Kanji is reversed or upside down even.

just dont go walking around Tokyo with random stuff written on ya.



if your gona get kanji done get it done in japan =P.

If they went thru the right channels and worked as a apprentice, he should know to make a rookie mistake.

While I would be less likely to go after a rookie's job, in a case where we are talking about someone who probably wouldn't know anything at all about kanji beyond the shop's flash and may not have had much experience dealing with customers wanting custom work, I would be willing to let them correct their error. If it were a seasoned artist, not acknowledging their lack of expertise with kanji and discouraging the customer from a possible mistake is totally unprofessional and inexcuseable.

Perhaps I am a bit more willing to factor in the artist's circumstances because I don't cut any slack for someone who walks into a tattoo shop and doesn't know EXACTLY what the hell they are putting on their body before the needle is even inked. The volume of tats that are done because of a whim and/or without the bearer having a clue to its full meaning (not the always just the current interpretation) is obscene.

Anytime you are getting a foreign language tattooed onto you, make absolutely sure you are getting what you /really want/.

Imaging getting the "word" 'colguy' tattooed on you forever when you asked for "smooth".

You can always try to get it covered up, but avoid this in the future man!

You'll be fine!
