Getting a tattoo is like forming a commitment. From the moment you get that tattoo, you're likely to live with it till the very last day of your life. So, people tend to choose a tattoo that carries a motivational meaning. Other times, tattoos represent family bonds. It's nothing strange when people want to get a tattoo that reminds them of their late family member. The sayings they once said, or even their voice, it's just lovely to carry on those memories.
When it comes to getting a quote tattoo, there's a trend to get it inked in foreign languages. Well, the quote looks ten times fancier if you write it in Chinese, Thai, or practically any language that's not English. Worth it, right? However, sometimes people go for tattoos that they can't even read, let alone understand. And the awkward moment is when someone who knows the language tells them what their tattoos actually mean. No more "love you till the end," but now "translation error" and such. Scroll down to see such cringe-worthy fails like that and have a good laugh.
