My little brother walked past my door this morning and I noticed that he had a tattoo on his chest with Japanese numbers. I told him to hold still and checked them out. It was "27," which is supposedly his lucky number.
Anyway, he was told and now believes that it's written in "Japanese Kanji." Now, I've only been studying Japanese for a week or so, but I couldn't help but jump on him for referring to the numbers as being Kanji. I pointed out a few texts that state what Kanji is and he just got upset and left the house. Lol. I can't see why you'd get a tattoo of something you don't fully understand...
Just thought I'd pass this on for your enjoyment... maybe someone will get a laugh out of this. Has anyone else had to explain this to someone before?
