Amazing that he waited for feedback and corrections before taking the plunge. I mean, you've gotta hand it to him for that.

Sheer Schadenfreud makes me love this website with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns:

http://www.hanzismatter.com/

... which is devoted to the unfortunate results on the bodies of non-Asian-language-speaking Westerners who want Asian characters inked permanently onto their bodies but don't do a proper check beforehand to verify the basics.

There has GOT TO BE a market for this kind of website for Irish-inspired tats.

Some of that is funny , however the guy got one of them wrong , he said about the GIVE LOVE question that it made no sense at tall in chinese. It actually means offer love ( 与愛) although the guy has it the wrong way round which makes it say 'love offer'. weird but not nonsensical.

Guy in a bar near me has 节 节 on his neck , I asked him why he has that he says its my names initials. What is your name I asked? J.J he says , then it made sense. 节 节 is pronounced Jie Jie. HOwever , what the tattooist failed to point out , or didnt care or know , is that the guy now walks around with 'Bank Holiday , Bank Holiday ' on his neck .

LOL

Dia dhuit, im wondering if you can help me out a bit.
I want to get a tatoo done across my shoulders of A part of the Irish national anthem. The only problem is i have found it to be spelled 3 different ways on various websites etc.

Sinne Fianna Fáil
Atá fá gheall ag Éirinn

also

Sinne Fianna Fáil, Soldiers are we,
Atá fe gheall ag Éirinn

and finally

Sinne Fianna Fáil, Soldiers are we,
Atá faoi gheall ag Éirinn.

Fá fe and faoi?

Is this difference just regional dialect differences or is it incorrect spelling as i dont want to look like a total idiot with it spelt wrong!!
Any advice?
Go Raibh maith agat
