What the @#$%, "Kung Pao chicken", haha Look at his tattoo A tattoo of the name of a food dish??? It's really delicious though... Hey guys what''s going on? It's xiaoma, and today You know how like Westerners always love getting Chinese tattoos? Now for Chinese people these tattoos can be kind of weird And it's not to say that Chinese people will never get tattoos in Chinese But, it's just like... Xiaoma! Hey Xiaoma! How are you? It's just like the stuff westerners that decide to write on their body Can often be very strange from a Chinese perspective People right things like "love" or "power" on their body Which just aren't things that Chinese people would normally get tattooed on themselves And in addition sometimes there are translation mistakes with these tattoos The person giving you the tattoo if they are not Chinese They are not necessarily going to know what they are writing on your body Sometimes people end up getting... ...names of different foods written on their body So I was sort of curious today to see What Chinese people would think about Tattoo fails like this in real life So I have gone ahead and gotten myself My very own What do you guys think? * tattoo says "Kung Pao Chicken" It's a little bit awkward walking around here with this tattoo But... We're going to go see what people think And I'm already getting quite a few glances So... Okay, I'm a little bit nervous but lets do this thing guys * shopkeepers talking to each other in Chinese * Kung Pao chicken? Do you like it? Do you like it? No, I can't handle spicy foods! You don't eat spicy? Nope! Anyway, what the...are you a chef or something? Something like that Nice and easy, whenever I go to a Chinese restaurant... All I have to do is point to my tattoo...

"Water chestnut" I'm just reading the sign, I don't know what it is You know how to read in Chinese too?! Yeah That's cool! Otherwise I would I make this tattoo!
