‘Supermarket’ Tattoo Blunder.
‘Supermarket’ Tattoo Blunder.
Joanne Raine was very much In love with her boyfriend ‘Roo’ and wanted to express that love to him. She didn’t buy him a present however or cook him a nice meal, she got a tattoo. There are three rules to remember if you plan on getting a tattoo
Don’t get someones name.
Don’t have a tattoo written in a language you don’t understand.
Don’t get the name of a band, because every band turns rubbish or reunites when they are 60+ for the cash.
As you can see Joanne ignored the rules. It was only once she showed the guys behind the counter at here local Chinese takeaway her new ink that she found out that it didn’t say’Roo’ but ’supermarket’.
Even that was incorrect as Kanji (the Chinese characters that make up part of the modern Japanese logographic writing system) form whole words rather than letters.
“I did it because I wanted to show him how much I loved him and he had one done as well.”
Perhaps she was lucky that the tattoo doesn’t actually say anything, she has since split up with her boyfriend and can’t afford to get the tat covered up.






That is too funny. Like the tag “idiot”.

[...] This unfortunate girl was told that Kanji Characters represent letters. They don’t. Therefore, She is the proud owner of a tattoo that says Supermarket. [...]

Killer - reminds me of seeing a dimwit with shaved head trying to get served in a pub - he had his date of birth tattooed on the back of his neck clearly displaying he was under age - what a plonker.
Oh and before I go can we assume that “roo” hopped it?
