tattoos
For quite a while people in the West have been copying each
other and getting tattoos of Chinese characters done, but now
tattoo parlours in China are reporting lots of people suddenly
getting themselves tattooed with English letters.
Beckham chose a tattoo of a Chinese proverb for himself when
he was on a trip to Hong Kong.
However, there are many dangers in having a tattoo – especially
20 in another language. For example, singer Justin Timberlake had
5 Zhang Aiping, a tattooist from Shanghai, said, ‘Around
the Chinese symbol for ‘song’ tattooed on his left leg, but he
probably didn’t realise that it meant ‘wrong’ too! The American
basketball player Marcus Camby has two enormous Chinese
characters tattooed on his arm which have no real meaning at all.

in English now. This has happened really suddenly, since the

as David Beckham who have tattoos in various languages.

from Belgium, whose father was furious when she came home
with 56 star tattoos on her face! Kimberley at first lied and said
that the tattooist had misunderstood, and she tried to sue him to
pay to have them removed. She later admitted the truth.
Perhaps it’s a good plan to think twice and to ask your friends for
advice before you have a tattoo done.
