Blake found himself in a sticky situation this Thursday at the Party On The Wildside event at Happy Hollow Zoo in San Jose. Fortunately the owner of the web was nowhere to be found and he was able to make his way out of the web safely.

On a separate note: It seems tattooing is on the rise. I see more and more people sporting tattoos - Chinese Characters are pretty popular, but please.... If you're gonna get something in a different language, make sure that it's spelled/drawn correctly. I saw a guy at the zoo with what looked like the chinese character for "Horse" but missing a stroke. Also I saw a woman with the word "Fish" tattooed on her. What is that supposed to imply?

Oh well. Have a good weekend everyone!

This may get me into trouble but

It seems tattooing is on the rise

This is worrying, as everyone i know with a tattoo doesn't have a functional brain!

Yes, if you're going to get a tattoo, make sure the artist can spell. That reminds me of a series of T-shirts featured on Engrish.com a few year ago. Let's just say that the translations into English were less than flattering.

I dunno about Blake there....he looks pretty comfy ;0)

Few things are more embarassing than to have the guy tatoo on your arm "Mohter"

Haha, [info]4eyedkurisu and I were recently walking around the beach talking about Chinese character tattoos increasing in number, and how people fail to make them correctly as well. Walk around a populated beach in SoCal for a few hours, and you'll see dozens of them.

Funny you should mention that. :)

Mis-spelled Oriental tattoos were invented so that people-with-body-piercings would have someone to look down on.

At least until the owner comes down and injects you full of venom and flesh-digesting enzymes and sucks out your fluids.

There was a Sprite commerical few years back where a tattoo-artist got the symbols from chinese restaurant menu, customer walked out from the shop, "fried chicken" tattoed onto his arm in chinese ;)

awww, Blake got pics! Yippee was there too, dancing with Steel Jam again to the Austin Powers theme. I really need to get Yippee his own photographer. He's fallen out of the spotlight that the Paparazi doesn't follow him anymore.

I didn't hear anything about this event... I would've photographed you!
Steeljam at The San Fran Zoo a couple months ago was fun to watch!

I have confirmation that my "Kanji Collection" Florida Gators cap actually says "crocodile" on it. One of my Chinese co-workers asked about it, and the Yahoo messenger icon (as shown above) which has my Chinese name that my grandfather gave me.

I'm curious what symbol they used on the Phoenix Coyotes cap, if it was in fact different than the Minnesota Timberwolves cap.

Holy cow, Blake has sandals?! That is cool on so many levels. :)

My great grandfather taught me two of the most important life-long lessons:
  1. Somking is bad.
  2. 60 years and a couple of inches of bicep will easily turn a "Pepe" tattoo into "Peepee".

great photo !
we should build a giant web at FC and get all the fursuits in it for the photo shot ;))

THAT! *points at the Tim* is a fantastic idea. It would be cool to have a giant fur pile all stuck to the web. What a feast some spider would have.

Maybe she was lesbian? It's common in gay club scenes and chat rooms to call women "fish" because of the jokes 'Tastes like tuna' - 'Smells like fish.'

But I have seen a fish in the Zodiac Flash Boards in the tattoo shops I've been in.

First that really looks comfy, *runs and pounces into the web with you*

As for tattoos, brands and other such permanent scaring, I have never met someone in their sixties who didn't regret it. Why not get the temporary ones that fade, then you can have a new message as your mood changes.

You look cool and comfy in a middle of a heat wave ;)

Anyway, I don't plan on having a tatoo. I just don't look good with one.

Blake looks pretty comfey there. I wish I didn't work nights and could make more gigs like this.

Have you read The Chinese Tattoo Prank?

[info]brokkentwolf

August 7 2005, 02:38:31 UTC 6 years ago

The picture that they show on that article has the character for "Woman" and "strength" I imagine that together, it's meant to read "Girl Power".

First and foremost: OMG That is a great pic! Blake is soo Cute :)

As for the tattoo's I seem to remember an asian tattoo artist getting arrested about a year ago for tattooing false characters onto people. They would ask for something like "Beautiful woman" in chinese and he (not wanting to see his language used for non asians) would tattoo something like "Stupid whore"

Thankfully I had someone draw my tattoo. I am confident he knew what he was writing ;)

I KNEW you'd reply to this. :) I can assertively say that it's spelled correctly. HOWEVER - my Chinese calligraphy is not the best around. :)

While I was gettin my tattoo some guy called and wanted 'Metallica' across his back written in 'Chinese or something'. :)

At a recent street festival up here, one booth was set up explicitly for Chinese tattoos only. All of them, and I mean all of them, were wrong, except 女力 ("Girl Power") and 子 ("Child"). Their "Happiness" was clearly a T with five more horizontal strokes (which, if memory serves me right, translates to "I'm an idiot".) The asian people running the booth didn't know what they meant either, but it drew in the customers.

It's kinda like those "anime" shirts from 2000; they don't really mean anything but people just expect that they do. (i bought one too, don't worry ^^;;)
