Reader Welton from Brazil sent in a photo of his friend's tattoo. It supposed to be his name "Washington".However according to Alan, this tattoo is wrong in several levels:First of all, the name Washington is usually written ワシントン [washinton] rather than ウォシントン [woshinton] as was presumably intended by the tattooist. Next, someone left out the first...

The motor pushes the needle up and down, up to three thousand punctures per minute. The depth is set very shallow, just down into the dermis layer, and the ink runs into the hole from the fountain-pen like tip of the tattoo machine. All of these little 'ink dots' that are in...

From Alan Siegrist: http://www.bmeink.com/A80220/high/npsq-cameron-mark.jpg From the caption, this tattoo (Feb. 20, 2008 in BMEink) with the characters 火目論真開 was evidently supposed to represent the name Cameron Mark, but I think it falls a bit short of the mark, so to speak. Now, there might be “cute” ways to represent English names in Japanese...

My good buddy, Jon Rahoi, sent me photos of a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter.Jon says: One of these mutant fighters was sporting some Chinese tat, that, upon further inspection, was actually Japanese. I think it's trying to say, "I'll win in spite of yesterday?" or something like that.Plus, making "I" two characters wide on the top makes it confusing...

All I can think of - other than that I am doing prayers for church this Sunday - as in Easter Sunday (dun dun dun) a bit of a responsibility - not sure if I can be trusted...

I have begun Latin lessons today!Yes, just when I had successfully presented the illusion of being a Latin expert (thanks to my trusty Collins Compact Latin Dictionary and some advice and assistance from femina) here I am bursting it with admissions of banal humanity.It was a mere introduction - a potted version of Roman history with Latin phrases thrown in for relevance. For example the title of...
