Again, thanks to ishaa, source of many amusing things:

Dedicated to the misuse of Chinese characters (Hanzi or Kanji) in Western culture.

狂瀉 (crazy diarrhea) is probably my favorite tattoo seen so far.

Edit: 宦官 (eunuch) is pretty good, too. :)

Update: The bearer of 狂瀉 now claims she meant to do that.

That's marvelous. Reminds me of the story of the guy who took his first Japanese calligraphy class, decided to try the kanji for "foreigner," and then had to run for the bus afterwards. Only after he got home did he realize he'd just run to the bus stop, the only white dude on the street, waving this piece of paper with "FOREIGNER" on it the whole way. No kidding, you think people could tell he was a gaijin?
