This lovely collage of mistakes is brought to you by a French website called Tattoo-Passion.com.

臣 means "minister", not "Bouddha" (English "Buddha").

仙 means "immortal" or "fairy", not "boxe" (English "boxing", the sport).

蔴 or 麻 means "cannabis", not the character shown.

魅 means "charm" or "attraction", not "demon".

儡 means "puppet", not "destruction".

卒 means "soldier", not "divorce".

夕 means "evening" or "dusk", not "enfant" (English "child").

子 means "offspring", not "esprit" (English "spirit").

祟 is written incorrectly and it means "evil spirit". Not to be confused with 崇, which means "worship" or "idolize".

帝 means "emperor", not "football".

魂 means "soul" or "spirit", not "grand pere" (English "grand father").

蛤 means "toad" or "clam", not "grenouille" (English "frog").

私 means "private", not "illegal".

嫉 is incorrectly written and it means "jealousy".

刺 means "prick", not "meurtre" (English "murder").

宗 means "ancestory", not "militaire" (English "military").

死 is incorrectly written and it means "death".

佛 means "buddha", not "paradis" (English "paradise").

The ironic part is the French government is so concerned about their language, it actually dedicates an entire branch an academy on maintaining the purity of French language.

Granted the character was done correctly, but the question still remains:

What is the purpose of having 糞 (excrement; feces) tattooed on one’s leg?

Update: Many readers have commented about this tattoo being fake. That is NOT true. The actual work was done by Danny Fowler of Ancient Art Tattoo in Roanoke, VA.

Reader Norman emailed me this screen capture. The second character 電 (electricity) of this caution sign in the show Firefly is mirrored. It is also interesting to point out that in the future, spaceships will run on Microsoft Windows and don't lose those device driver disks.

Update: I saw the movie Serenity last night. Although there were some Chinese inconsistencies throughout the movie, overall it was very good. I have to say it was definitely one of the few good Sci-Fi movies that I have enjoyed in long time.
