It looks like there is no response, though I'm guessing this is yet another example of the "English to Chinese" garbage font. In this case, it's not even the "gibberish font" - they're just highly stylized Roman characters ("p" "a" "l" "o")…
If you're a regular reader of this site, AND a languages student, why the hell didn't you double-check this before having it added to your hide? I'm "only" Chinese in the fourth semestre and even I know this is wrong. The [noun]おんな formatio…
Wait a second... A Japanese children's workbook?!...the hell? Why is that a source?-Corbinian Come now, Tian; there are any number of ladies here in Japan who could match and trump the physical assets on display here!Anyway, re the tattoo:

Wow. Spectacularly dreadful - it's hard to imagine someone (like the Finnish racist) thinking that to translate something into Chinese, all you need to do is change fonts. Even the concept of transliterating is way wrong in this case. I gue…
