Upside Down "Beauty"
http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A51012/high/bmepb147957.jpg
This young man is proudly displaying his newly done tattoo. Too bad the first character 美 (beauty) is upside down. Perhaps the young should get 鄙陋 (superficial) as a cover-up tattoo.

"Robert"

This tattoo is the Chinese phonetic translation of the name “Robert”. It is very poorly done. All characters are disproportional and missing strokes.
Although sometimes the clients are the ones bring in ugly or incorrect designs, I can’t imagine any respectable tattooist would display this in his/her portfolio.

"Where To?"

Due to the tattoo’s poor penmanship, it is very difficult to determine what the client’s original intension was.
The tattooed character could either be 何 (what, why, where, which, how) or 向 (direction).

"Knowledge" Lacking
http://www.bmezine.com/tattoo/A51003/high/bmegl144560.jpg
I don't remember if it is "good news travel in pairs" or "bad news travel in pairs", but these two have the exact same mistake in their tattoos.
識 (recognize, understand, knowledge) in both are missing a dot at top right corner.
