I knew someone that got the Chinese characters that were supposed to mean "sky".

A Chinese friend of theirs pointed out it meant "ceiling".

鸡蛋 meaning egg tattooed on the side of his face - didn't help that the man was bald and it took all my willpower to not laugh in his face

-i-nct

Man that guy really had egg on his face

Bet if he ever finds out he's gonna scramble to get it fixed

I applaud you for not cracking up immediately

A local tattoo shop offered to tattoo 腹泻 on anyone who wanted it, free of charge. It means diarrhea. I've seen it on a few people locally.

People will do dumb things for a free tattoo.

-brandnamenerd

Things as dumb as getting a free tattoo.

Not Chinese but my professor asked a girl why she has "love, friends, and cheese sandwich" tattooed in Arabic. She thought the last one was something like "smiles."

-suitology

Could be worse! Cheese sandwiches pretty dang good.

I know a girl who had "壊疽" ("gangrene") tattooed on her side and it quickly became her nickname ([sic] name-call). Even her family began calling her that. She was a very mean person, simply put, and I can only guess the tattoo artist was getting back at her. This was about five years ago and nobody hears much from her nowadays.

A person from work had a fairly small Japanese tattoo that was supposed to read "Big Brains". (He'd just got his degree or something, so this was a celebration of that)

A Japanese co-workers started laughing and said it was more like "Big Head".

Not Chinese but a friend of mine has coconut chicken noodles tattooed down her spine in Burmese.

She is Burmese.

It's hilarious.

I was in the "motorhead" region of the Metro and saw a dude with Tramp stamp "White Rice". Straight, white and bald biker motorist looking dude.

Pornstar Riley Reid has a direct word-for-word translation of "When life gives you lemon, make lemonade" tattooed on her back. It makes zero sense in chinese.

-greenpearlin

生活帶來您時檸檬做檸檬水

The Chinese is pretty grammatically awkward. It's pretty obvious she got it off Google Translate.

-Gemmabeta

Directly translated.

Life brings you time lemon; Make lemon water.
