Sorry, Your Tattoo Is A Real Fizzer
A British man who has proudly showed off his tattoo for 26 years was baffled to realise it actually spelt Coca-Cola. Vince Mattingley thought he had his name tattooed on his chest in Chinese writing after asking staff at his favourite restaurant to write his name in Chinese symbols. But a waiter drew the Coke words - and Vince had it etched on his chest. He only realised the mistake when he recently travelled to Thailand and a barman asked him why he had Coca-Cola written on his chest.
FOOTNOTE: He should get it off his chest.
This is NOT real! :-) Wow. The stupidity of some people astounds me.
ReplyDeletethat's why I would never get words tattooed on me that I couldn't read.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA That is too funny! This is why you don't get a tattoo in a foreign language unless you know the language!!! I have heard of this happening more than once.
ReplyDeleteBeauty is in the eye (or the spelling) of the beholder.
ReplyDeleteHaha!!
ReplyDeleteThe waiter at the Chinese restaurant must've really disliked this guy!!
that happens more often than you would think.
ReplyDeleteMy tat has a Japanese character...however I researched myself and gave it to the artist.
Apparently there are people that do that on purpose for money from big product companies - a permanent "ad" so-to-speak? I guess this guy would have to move to China to get any money out of Coca-Cola, though.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the 80's when Americans walked around with japanese characters on their shirts and for all we knew it could have said something awful.
ReplyDeleteOH my....that is so funny! Can you imagine????? lol
ReplyDeleteHi Mr Coke! He could do a Chinese Coke ad tho.
ReplyDeleteAlternate Footnote:
ReplyDeleteMan with Coca Cola tattoo loses weight, gets new tattoo...Diet Coke.

ReplyDeletewe are all adverts if we want to be or not. the shoe, the shirt, teh car.. the tatoo. what's the difference.
ReplyDeleteI recently watched the Food Network Candy Convention showcasing candy tatoos like" How about a date ?""Call me" in sugar which then melts wherever it may be ???sk
