Girl accidentally gets Jeremy Lin's Chinese name tattooed to her ankle, decides to own it

jeremy_lin_tat.jpg


As we’ve said before, getting a Chinese tattoo needs to be something that you do only after undertaking painstaking research; however, if something does get lost in translation, then don’t despair, OWN IT.


That’s what one Tennessee girl did after mistakenly getting NBA star Jeremy Lin’s name in Chinese permanently etched into her ankle. Holland Christensen is not a Lin super-fan, instead she just got screwed over by some asshole on the internet, and didn’t bother to double-check, for whatever reason. Here’s how she summed it on her Reddit post:



It was a huge fail, I had no idea who he even was, and who the F gets a random tattoo of someone’s name? Basically someone thought it would be hilarious to give me the wrong Chinese translation of what I actually wanted for the tattoo, and me being impulsive and not double checking I now have Jeremy Lin’s name on my body for the rest of my life.



Here’s the tattoo:

However, instead of falling into despair and desperately severing her ankle, she decided to embrace the unless you are a NBA ref).


She decided that since she’s already got the dude’s name tattooed to her ankle, she should also go see him play some ball. After her friend dropped out on her, she posted to Reddit, searching for someone who wanted to go to the game with her. From there, her insane story went viral.


Watch her full confessional video below for all the details:



Christensen did go to the game, and while she wasn’t able to meet Lin afterward, he did hear about her later, tweeting her the perfect response and posting to Reddit:

On Reddit, Lin responded to Christensen: “…in all seriousness, thank you for your support and for sharing your story. Glad you were able to turn a mistake into something positive! Feel free to keep me posted if you come to a playoff game.”


The Hornets made the playoffs this year (woohoo!) and will play the Miami Heat in the first round, Christensen says she plans on attending a game.


While this is all incredible, Christensen could have saved herself a bit of trouble by using Waygo, or any number of other apps, that can take pictures of Chinese and Japanese characters offline and provide instant translation.

A quick Google search will reveal thousands of mangled Chinese tattoos exposed for what they really are: absolute gibberish. In 2013, a story surfaced of a tattoo artist in Sao Paulo, Brazil arrested for tattooing a client with characters translating to “Chicken Noodle Soup” instead of a sentimental quote from Antoine de Saint-Exupery’s The Little Prince.


Another prominent example is an American woman who wanted a tattoo of the Chinese word for “freedom.” What she ended up with was the words for “free of charge.” There are countless other similar stories of tattoo disasters, and even some celebrities have fallen victim to the trap: Justin Timberlake was given a fake Chinese tattoo for his role in “Alpha Dog,” to make him appear like an authentic “bad boy.” The tattoo he was given was 溜冰 (liūbīng), which means “skating” or “ice-skating”… probably not what he was looking for. Likewise, Britney Spears has the character 奇 (q ī) stamped on her hip. She was under the assumption that the direct translation was “mysterious”; but actually, it was “weird” or “odd.”

There's a reason some gang members cover their bodies in tattoos, and it makes perfect business ...

Gang member face tattoo central americaREUTERS/Ulises RodriguezAn imprisoned member of street gang Mara 18 poses for a photograph at the Izalco prison, about 40 miles from San Salvador, May 20, 2013.


Gangs like the Mara Salvatrucha have spread their influence all over the Western Hemisphere, and one of the clearest signs that you’re dealing with a member is the garish tattoos that often adorn their bodies.


The designs of those tattoos are often different, specified by the individual and their gang, but there’s an underlying reason for why they get them, and it makes perfect business sense.


“There’s a weird economic reason for these tattoos: It makes these employees much easier for the cartel or the gang to keep hold of,” Tom Wainwright, author of “Narconomics” and former Economist reporter in Mexico City told Business Insider.


“If you picture one of these gangs in El Salvador, where many of the members have tattoos, literally from head to toe, it’s much much harder for those employees to go and find a job somewhere else,” Wainwright added.


The Mara Salvatrucha, also known as MS-13, is most closely associated with the head-to-toe tattoos.


Prisons in El Salvador and Honduras, where MS-13 is based, are full of current and former gang members coated with ink identifying their loyalties, whether they be to MS-13 or another Central American gang like Barrio 18, which is regarded as one of MS-13’s main rivals.

While the inkings are often inscrutable to outsiders, members of the gang world are familiar with their meanings. This helps them identify compatriots and prevents members from straying. 


“These guys can’t find work anywhere else,” because the markings make it difficult for them to switch allegiances, Wainwright told Business Insider.


“They can’t find work with a rival cartel, and so they have to stay working for the gang that they started off with. This makes them much cheaper and it means that the gang can treat them how they like.”

As these gangs have spread to places were anti-gang law-enforcement efforts are more robust — like the suburbs of Washington, DC — the tattoos have become a less central part of gang life.


Tattoo-removal programs have also cropped up, as government and civil-society efforts to pull people away from gangs have ramped up.


But for MS-13 and other gangs, where proof of loyalty is vital, tattoos aren’t going anywhere.


“It’s something that’s strongly encouraged,” Wainwright said. “And I think if you want to join a gang like the Mara Salvatrucha in El Salvador, you can’t join unless you get the tattoos.”
