I mean it's a minor thing, but since he seems to have some lovely homebrew religion based on his tat it might piss him off enought to get rid of it. Also, wouldn't 地 be more appropriate than 土? At least for referring to what the idiot in question wants it to refer to?

If he actually thinks it's referring to the five elements in Japanese philosophy, the fifth is 空 kū or sora (void), not this ego-masturbatory "worship yourself" horseshit. My guess is he got the characters from Google Translate or something because he thinks it looks more mystical that way.  E: gently caress, he couldn't even get the characters in a consistent style, and that 火 is wonky as gently caress.

One constant I've seen with any tattoo that implements kanji, or for that matter Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs or Chinese in any form is that they're all basically just run through Google Translate by someone with no understanding of the language in question.

I saw a guy once with 完美的人生 ("perfect life" in Mandarin) tattooed down his arm in a really plain-looking font. The surprising thing was that it was all correct, grammar and characters, none of those bullshit fake characters. The characters were even well-formed, except for the fact that they were all backwards.

You can throw Latin and Greek on there, too. Especially biblical stuff because they think it'll look more profound, and I guess Latin/Greek bibles are not actually super common things with the same chapter and verse system as English ones. This has inspired me to look up bad Molon Labe tattoos, so enjoy:     The iconic Greek rat-tail helmet.

Xenophon even said that poo poo didn't go down and he sent both of his sons through their military training program. Which, despite his bias, he probably wouldn't have done if it meant they were gonna get raped by senior military personnel.

The Spartans didn't write anything down, so their enemies couldn't learn their secrets. Unfortunately, that means our only sources for them are their enemies. Which is also why Ares has such a bad rap in the usual "Greek myth" stories, while Athena is perfect and virginal and daddy's favorite. In Rhodes' version, Helios was the first god worshiped by mankind, and Athena was his wife.

Relevant to the kanji tattoo talk: http://www.reshareworthy.com/asian-character-tattoos-gone-wrong/ Specifically #20 at the bottom  "What these characters actually mean: The character is actually the Japanese katakana ホ(ho) not 木 (ki, tree). The mistaken use of ‘ho’ is quite unfortunate considering the woman as both subject and canvas. And yes, the hip-hop slang meaning of ‘ho’ (whore) is known in Japan and written with the same character."

The first one on there is 麺 holy lol dude permanently has the word "noodles" on his skin. The takeaway lesson here is that you shouldn't get a tattoo in a language you don't speak, even if you think that your interpretation of what you think it means has, like, a totally deep and personal meaning for you. On the other hand I really loving love noodles.

I'd genuinely rather have 'noodles' tattooed on me than 99.9% of the book quotes and spiritual poo poo people get, spelt right or wrong.

I decided a long time ago that if I ever get tattoos the first one I'm gonna get is gonna be a plum. When I'm wrinkled and 80 and people ask me what the hell that's supposed to be, I'll tell them "Oh yeah, that's a prune."

Byzantine posted:The Spartans didn't write anything down, so their enemies couldn't learn their secrets. Unfortunately, that means our only sources for them are their enemies. All this. Also Athens, the enemy doing pretty much all the writing, had a weird hate/love relationship with Sparta where they alternately admired their stoic, super-jock ways, but other times ragged on them for being dumb brutes who thought with their spears.

These were essentially different groups of people who spoke more or less the same language and had similar religious beliefs but spent most of their time on conflict with each other.

Yeah, but that's pretty much any place pre-nationalism.

I once saw a tattoo that I'll never forget in a previous version of this thread, years ago. It was a poorly-inked Garfield, nonchalantly riding a skateboard and holding a gooey-looking slice of pizza. I think he was wearing elbow-pads and a helmet. Does anyone know where I can find this image, or confirm that it even exists at all? No amount of googling has led me to it.
