Couldn't he just get it blacked out, then do laser removal of an entirely new kanji.
Terry
Do not do that. I WILL definitely find something else if there is nothing here you like. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING DRASTIC LIKE A REMOVAL AND LET HAVE A CHANCE TO GET BACK TO YOU!
I will check back in a few hours

Time to pull the plug, face the music, because this is getting a bit out of hand.
Terry,
The good news is that I have been pulling your chain: Gotcha!
There is nothing wrong with your Tattoo. It is a nice Tattoo that says "determination", as posted on the site.
So I will have to depend on your sense of humor, and hope you take it as it was intended as a joke.
Peter

I'll confirm that Terry's ink does indeed read determination though I was kinda getting attached to carnal passage

Pete, that was masterful. I just hope you're alive tomorrow. You have seen the pics of Terry, right? And, no, I don't think the witness protection program is intended for this sort of thing ....

Peter, you had me completely convinced. You've created a thread that will live in infamy.

I took a half day off work today and stopped at my tattoo artist's shop to have him work up different versions of what I could do to cover up the "mistake". In spite of the fact that I am a good and loyal customer, he does NOT work for free.
Based on what I thought was trustworthy information we spent the better part of an hour coming up with ideas that would work in case Pete was unable to come up with anything that I liked.
Fortunately I did NOT have any work done, as I was much anticipating Peter's dedication to helping out a friend and trusting that he would come up with something.
As I type this I am out 4 hours of vacation time (half day of work) and $100 for the hour of my artist's time (well spent money considering the situation I thought I was faced with), and $20 non-refundable deposit for the appointment I made for this coming weekend.
I can take a joke with the best of 'em considering I have pulled many a prank in my time. However when it results in costing a "friend" hard-earned money that is where I draw the line.
Considering that so many others were in on this "joke" I cannot blame any one person, simply put I blame myself for being so gullible and trusting.
I will count my blessings that I didn't spend more money and chalk this up to a learning experience. I will also join you all in laughing..... yep, this was a great joke.
Great joke. ha ha.
Ha! Did you hear about the tattoo artist that got sick of all the people asking for Chinese characters as tats who didn't even know the meanings? He would tattoo the oddest sayings until he got caught.
Some chick who received Chinese character tats on her belly walked into a Chinese restaurant where the hostess and others began laughing at her. Her belly had, "Insert General Tsao's Chicken Here" on it in Chinese.
Of course this is a rough of the article in the newspaper I read.
Yeah, I read that in The Onion.
One woman had the kanji word for "prostitute" on her.
Terry, I'm so sorry to hear you had to go through all of that because of this. Hmmmm...maybe Peter needs to forward you a money order? The least the "mastermind" could do. Don't worry T, I got your back. We can hop on a plane to Japan together...I'm willing to kick some ass for a friend
