That might be the only appropriate answer to "Made in Japan"

Ironically hella accurate tho xD

It’s the tattoo I want. It can also be translated as outsider. Which describes me to a tee.

Well, at least you warn people ahead of time!

I've seen something closer to this with shirts. I follow some japanese insect breeders on social media and once one of them was selling beetle-themed shirts, with drawings and cool phrases. However, one of the shirts was written in portuguese and made no sense at all. Unfortunately I don't remember the phrase, but as a brazilian, my reaction was something like George's eeehh?

🤣

Japanese aren't stupid

Oh, it happens lol I had a student in China with a beer logo shirt. Others with cuss words. One with a Hooters shirt. Kindergarten so it wasn't like THEY knew lol

@@jasoncervantes9583 any people of any country can be stupid, there isn't anything special about being born in a certain place. Even so, getting a tattoo with a meaning you don't really know is more "misguided" and "naive" than stupid.

There are t-shirts with "baka gaijin" too! :D

I like how he put a box around it as well, just to accentuate that fact lol!

It’s common for foreigners here to identify as such, ironically. If someone gets “Baka Gaijin” on their body you can be 99% sure they knew exactly what they were doing.

"Baka-Gaijin" is a word created by a foreigner whose Japanese is not very good, so it is grammatically strange. If you were to translate it, I think it would be closer to "foreigner stupid" or something than "stupid foreigner". I love the stupidity of this word.

@@thechikuwa284 yeah that’s ok. Just saying those who would use it to describe themselves might tattoo it un ironically.

@@MarcusCato275 That's admirable, but it's incredibly easy to get in touch with Japanese speakers these days. We live in the digital age, so all it takes to get feedback from native speakers of *any* language, is a quick visit to a site like hinative or a DM on any social medium. She could even have flown a Japanese tattoo artist over lmao.

I don't understand why someone would want a tattoo in a language they're not familiar with in the first place.

@@Kumire_921 kanji does look pretty cool so it's kinda understandable

@@euomu 20 years ago it was quite easy already. I gave my son a Japanese name and you bet I checked and double-checked before I did, independent sources, on- and offline, working to and from the kanji. All I had was internet and later I found a man who had studied Japanese for a few decades and had a shop in Japanese books, stationary etc.

It’s like saying whaaaaaat? In English 😄

Gotta say, its kinda cute

Thanks for protecting those kids Mr. Goodman.

"Huh" in Japanese is kind of offensive. It's more like saying asking "Wtf did you say to me?" Ehhhhhh is their version of "huh."

@@IncredibleChief bro? Bro? Wtf did u just say to me bro? HAHAH IM DEAD

Lmaoooo, that shop owner is a savage

If it was 龜 (tortoise), to be fair, it looks more impressive than 龍 too (dragon) 😂 Edited to add this clarification: I wrote the Traditional Chinese Hanzi characters, simplified ones are 龟 and 龙, Japanese Kanji are 亀 (which is in Chinese is also an old variant) and 龍 (same as Traditional).

That's actually kinda wholesome

@@abysminternal I love how japanese kanji sometimes make pictures, 龜 itself looks like a tortoise.

Stonks.

The individual kanji of (water) 'tap' are 水 (sui, meaning 'water') and 道 (dou, meaning 'road-way, street, district, journey, course, moral, teachings'). In Japanese culture, there are several "ways" and words that end with this 'dou', e.g. 話道 (ka-dou or ikebana, the way of the flower), 書道 (sho-dou, the way of writing, i.e. Japanese Calligraphy). Ju-do and Taekwon-do (or other martial arts) also often have the "way" as part of their meaning. Maybe she wanted 'the (spiritual) way of the water', i.e. for a person that wants to be "as calm but strong as water" as a tattoo? Nice thinking! Unfortunately for her, the combination has already a fixed meaning - 'tap'. Edit: clarify/shorten

Apparently you don't know that "chicken teriyaki" came a long way in our deep historical culture... ^0^

You'd probably still want to talk to a naive speaker to find a better version of those words. I know English speakers find them all right and sometimes cool, but they could sound really weird and cringy to people who read Japanese or Chinese.

@@DL-idk Rule of thumb: Never get a tattoo of something you can't read and/or understand

I mean, people do get random-ass words and letters tattooed on themselves because it either looks cool to them or has a deeper meaning, like how people get tattoos of names to symbolize appreciation/commemoration or mourning.

@@MrsLPAmy i want a japanese tattoo because the looks, style and writing is just so unique. Normal english words don't seem so appealing to me even tho i can't speak japanese

Walking around China, you DO see people with random English words tattooed on them (as well as on t-shirts, jumpers, etc). I saw a woman with the word "milk" tattooed on her shoulder.

Japan is full of products decorated with English words that don’t necessarily make sense. Do you want a notebook that says “dribble” on the cover? 🤣

i mean its the same thing as those people that get quotes or those god based tattoos that are like "blessed, family is everything, stronger". and honestly they are pretty cool symbols to foreigners thats why they get them. def dont agree with getting random kanji tho thats pretty ignorant

probably means "Fail". it it's two characters, then could be Epic Fail. if it's 3, could be Better Call Saul.

I would reckon there are at least a couple of people who got this thinking it meant "pain". Single word tattoos of that sort in English aren't that uncommon.

@Itay - Actually, itai is only spelled with one i, not 2. The way you spell your name is the exact spelling of father in tagalog. Itay is what you would call your tatay or father. So father is tatay but you would address him as Itay. Hope that makes sense, Itay. 😂🤣. Sorry, can’t help it! 😊😬

Did you crush his illusions? ;)

Im always reminded of the asian guy (granted, this is chicken noodle soup levels of supposedly) who supposedly got a tattoo like 'Sekundenkleber' (superglue in german) and bragging about how it symbolizes a strong bond...

“Strong woman” sounds deliberate. “Eat ass” seems like a deliberate joke. “Sex”, “pain” and “hurt” all seem like things people might get

I always wanted this style of tattoo but always said I would never get one unless I knew someone who speaks and reads the Language . Seeing this video I made the right decision. Like you've all said I think most think they meant to say love peace and so on but they didn't do research and trusted whoever to know Japanese unfortunately they did not.

@@kokofan50 “Eat Ass” on someone who looks like a stereotypical lesbian is quite probably deliberate…

The characters could be borrowed from Chinese.

@@deniseluckett5424 kanji is chinese characters. Just sometimes there are different combinations of characters that don't exist or translate over between the two languages.

@@lrose1310 Might very well be that this one has a close but still different meaning (sexual feeling vs. sexually attractive)...happens quite often between Japanese and Chinese... So it´s probably the chinese meaning that was intended here. Makes sense to me :)

@@deniseluckett5424 While, Japanese borrow Chinese characters, meanings don’t always mean the same. For example: 会見 means Press Conference in Japanese, but in Chinese, it only means “to meet.”

Being an American, knowing other americans, these are all definitely real 🤣

Strictly speaking, I believe you can be a 外人 (gaijin/foreign person) and still be Japanese. E.g. Japan born and raised but obviously of European descent or smth There’s another word 外国人 (gaikokujin/foreign country person) which means someone who is actually FROM a foreign country. I believe a Japanese person can be born abroad, such as born and raised in Australia, and despite being Japanese by heritage they are 外国人 because they are from outside the country (literally means outside country person, as in a person from outside the country) I could possibly be mistaken about some things. I’m no expert

@@littlefishbigmountain idk about Japanese but the word can also mean "outsider" or "outcast" in mandarin...

@@sher2513 That makes sense, considering the 内／外 distinction (in-group/out-group)

I really don't get why people have kanji tattoos in some ugly serif font, but go figure.

I think the American equivalent is getting a tattoo in the font that was used on generic grocery products in the 1970's.

They do that - but with t-shirts. Google it sometime. People who don't speak English get some really funny phrases on their shirts.

I'd love to see that so bad

They're smart enough to just wear a crazy Tee shirt, when it gets translated, it can be disposed of, instead of a permanent mark of the body.

there was an old meme about this where essentially the Japanese equivalent of white people getting kanji tattoos would be if people got a tattoo that read the English word "water" in comic sans

Or here it would be Poundland, which I guess also sounds like something else 😄
