Dear Girl on Campus -
Um, I hate to bring this up, but I just wanted to say, please, please, please, please, for the love of Pete, PLEASE do your research before you decide to get another Japanese kanji tattoo. Because I can only read Japanese at a second grade level, and even I know that your existing tattoo doesn't mean what you think it means. Like it's not even close to what you think it means. You've totally been punked. And it's permanent.
Too Bad,
Erin

What did it say??! You can't not tell us what it said!!!
Oh, it wasn't anything bad. She was telling the girl she was talking to that her tattoo meant "love". Instead, it was the kanji for "rain". They don't even look remotely alike. I bet that tattoo artist had a good laugh. Either that or he was drunk. Which is completely possible.
Note to self: Consult Erin before getting any Kanji tattoos!
(Not that I'm planning on getting any...but you never know)
So did you tell the girl? Or did you let her live on in ignorance?
No, Jenn, I didn't tell her. Mostly because I didn't want to burst her bubble and also because I didn't want to be that weirdo-know-it-all stranger who walks up to you and is all like, "Um, you're an idiot. And your boyfriend who talked you into that tattoo? He's probably going to dump you next week."
Hahaha! I love your blog. And this is exactly why I passed on tattoos I couldn't read myself.
