Tattoo Translation.
 
1 Attachment(s)
Okay, first of all I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, I apologize.

So my "best friend" ditched me for Fourth of July to go to the beach with her boyfriend of 2 weeks. She told me she was going to her Grandmother's. To make a long story short...I found out she lied. On top of that she got MATCHING tattoos with this guy. She got matching tattoo's with her boyfriend of TWO weeks. Anyway. I saw a picture of the tattoo, but when I asked her what it meant she wouldn't tell me. She said it was a secret. I told her I would find out. She doesn't think I'll be able to. So PLEASE could someone tell me what this symbol means? If this is annoying or these posts are not allowed I apologize in advance.

Oh, and she was the one who told me it was Japanese...so if it's not then I'm really sorry! LoL.

Turning it right side up, I looked it up in my Japanese electronic dictionary and it doesn't appear. So it is either obscure Japanese, Chinese, jibberish, or all the above.

If it is what she has told everyone it is..I'm going to laugh at how true it is.

I have heard people asking for "playgirl" in Japanese, and ending up with this tattoo...but purposely asking for "drunk whore".

Oh well, I am sure she will be happy about this choice in 20 years.

This is exactly why kanji-tattoos should not exist.

I once told a drunk guy that his Kanji tattoo meant "feminine gay man". It was fun to watch him after that. I told him after a couple of minutes I didn't know what it meant. He was pissed, but he agreed with me that no one should get a tattoo in writing they don't understand.

Oh damn...that would have been some good stuff.

契  
 I reduce it to its lowest terms.
 I make an advance arrangement.  
 I let you exchange opinions. I arrange it.  
 I exchange it.  
 I conclude a pledge.  
 A promise.

Not a promise of the business such as the contract(契約), it is a promise of feelings.

The first tattoo reminds me of the Chinese characters 圭 and 尸 I have no idea what's up with that crazy 横 and 点 on the bottom.

圭 [guī] means Jade and 尸 [shī] means Corpse. Jade Corpse.

Honestly its probably complete gibberish...

I'll never understand why people get tattoos they can't read.

EDIT: I just thought it over and stared at it for a bit and realized the 圭 character might be 王, which has multiple meanings in Chinese, most of them stand for Royalty of some sort. So if it is 王 it could very well mean King Corpse, Royal Corpse, Ruler Corpse or since 王 is also a Surname the surname of a corpse.
