This Guy Thought His Tattoo Said...

[Mosby]

He thought is said "strength"

Kind of feel bad for the guy, one should really check things out carefully before tattooing foreign words.

He should put: כשר לפסח on his other forearm to round things out, lol.

5. Was in a jacuzzi at the health club and a guy came in with Chai tattooed on his chest

In very big characters. I turned to my S.O. At the time and said take a good look at that because you probably won't ever see it again. There were several other Jews in the jacuzzi with us and most took immediate offense

6. Perhaps he was a golem n/t

8. because of what you said?

I was working the counter at a recent job and this guy came in with a long tattoo of hebrew letters on his arm (without vowels) and I asked him what it said and he said he doesn't tell people. I mentioned something about how Jews were not supposed to tattoo their bodies and he got pissed at me and said there is no such prohibition. I dropped it obviously.

9. No, because of the tattoo. It's considered sacrilegious. nt

2. OK, that's funny.

[question everything]

4. I thought it is more common with Chinese or Japanese

where most Westerners cannot tell what the characters are.

7. I once had a friend draw a Star of David on my arm and joked on FB that it was a tattoo...

...my mother freaked out!
