Never Use Google Translate to Generate the Text of Your Tattoo

If I had a nickel for every time I tattooed a typo in a different language somewhere on my body, I would have enough money to take a bus to a tattoo removal clinic.

I’ve never understood why people want a tattoo in a language they don’t understand… It seems to me like you’d want a deep connection with your tattoos, and for that to happen, you need to understand it.

I feel like this is what happens when something that should be profound is reduced to posturing… Not that tattoos HAVE TO be profound, but these errors really scream poseur.

Even better, get tattoos that aren’t words!

I just figured out my next tattoo!

“Lorem ipsum dolor est…”

In braille.

It is better to be hated for what I am than loved for what I am not? I think that’s what he was going for.
That’s a stupid phrase for a tattoo, anyways.

The whole idea of using Latin is because it sounds important and mystical to people.

That’s why magicians used pretend Latin phrases, like “abra-cadabra” and “hocus-pocus”. It was the awing effect of the fake Latin.

That’s why you always see Latin in horror movies.

Google doesn’t translate Latin, the last I checked. He must have gotten his mistranslation from some other source. Not that it matters, really.
