无恶不作

I read this awesome blog Hanzi Smatter, which is... well, you can see for yourself, but it shows strange Chinese tattoos Westerners get (apparently it's quite 风行 to get a Chinese tattoo) and character misuse in general. It's hard to imagine someone would get a tattoo without at least trying to find out what it means, but...

Anyway, these two are my personal favourites (courtesy of the aforementioned blog) :

This tattoo says is a 成语 (see the 成语接龙 post) that literally translates as "there is no evil [that I] will not do."


As for the below, it's from a TV show, "CSI: NY."

The Chinese translates as:

"Vigour and liberation bar

Fresh meat fresh

Vigour and liberation bar"

(bar as in an alcoholic bar)
